Translation of the song Alla mattina appena alzata artist Italian Folk

Alla mattina, appena alzata,

Early in the morning, barely woken up,

O Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao,

goodbye beautiful, goodbye beautiful, goodbye goodbye goodbye beautiful,

Alla mattina, appena alzata,

Early in the morning, barely woken up,

In risaiami tocca andar.

I have to go into the rice fields.

E tra gli insetti e le zanzare,

And amidst the insect and the brambles,

O Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao,

goodbye beautiful, goodbye beautiful, goodbye goodbye goodbye beautiful,

E tra gli insetti e le zanzare,

And amidst the insect and the brambles,

Duro lavoro mi tocca far.

I must do a gruelling labor.

Il Capo in piedi col suo bastone,

The boss stands, hands on his staff,

O Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao,

goodbye beautiful, goodbye beautiful, goodbye goodbye goodbye beautiful,

Il Capo in piedi col suo bastone,

The boss stands, hands on his staff,

E noi curve a lavorar.

as we bend over to work.

O mamma mia, o che tormento,

Oh mother, what a torment,

O Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao,

goodbye beautiful, goodbye beautiful, goodbye goodbye goodbye beautiful,

O mamma mia, o che tormento,

Oh mother, what a torment,

Io t'invoco ogni doman.

I call out your name every day.

Ma verra' un giorno che tutte quante

But there will be a day when all together,

O Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao,

goodbye beautiful, goodbye beautiful, goodbye goodbye goodbye beautiful,

Ma verra' un giorno che tutte quante

But there will be a day when all together,

lavoreremo in liberta'.

we will work in freedom.
