When I wake up, in the morning
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao (Goodbye beautiful)
When I wake up, in the morning
To the rice fields I must go.

With the insects and the mosquitoes
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
With the insects and the mosquitoes
I must work hard everyday

Our boss, he is a tough man
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Yes, the boss, he is a tough man.
He beats us as we work.

Oh mother listen, can you help me?
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Oh mother, please come and help me
I call to you everyday

Sing for the workers
Sing for the people
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
The day will come when we have freedom
We′ll live and work in liberty

The day will come when we'll have freedom
We′ll live and work in liberty
The day will come when we'll have freedom
We'll live and work in liberty
