Alla mattina appena alzata
O bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Alla mattina appena alzata
In risaia mi tocca andar.

E fra gli insetti e le zanzare
O bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
E fra gli insetti e le zanzare
Un dur lavoro mi tocca far.

Il capo in piedi col suo bastone
O bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
Il capo in piedi col suo bastone
E noi curve a lavorar.

O mamma mia o che tormento
O bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
O mamma mia o che tormento
Lo t'invoco ogni doman.

Ed ogni ora che qui passiamo
O bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
Ed ogni ora che qui passiamo
Noi perdiam la gioventù.

Ma verrà un giorno che tutte quante
O bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
Ma verrà un giorno che tutte quante
Lavoreremo in libertà.

Anglais:
In the morning I got up
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao (Goodbye beautiful)
In the morning I got up
To the paddy rice fields, I have to go.

And between insects and mosquitoes
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
And between insects and mosquitoes
A hard work I have to work.

The boss is standing with his cane
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
The boss is standing with his cane
And we work with our backs curved.

Oh my god, what a torment
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Oh my god, what a torment
As I call you every morning.

And every hour that we pass here
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
And every hour that we pass here
We lose our youth.

But the day will come when us all
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
But the day will come when us all
Will work in freedom.

SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ
VERSEIt was early spring
Cherry blossoms were bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann took the hand

Of Sir William Lewis
And fell in love as they danced to
The South Carolina Waltz

VERSE
He was a sailor
Who came from South Hampton
From a ship building family, though we never pried
Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis
And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz

CHORUS
We always knew

That it was forever
Like the dawn of the rest of their lives
From that night on, they were always together
Side By Side

VERSE
It was late in the fall
When winter came callin’
And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis
And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride
But the autumn winds can be unforgiving
And from out of nowhere their boat capsized
And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis
And we found them together on the shore where they died

Short Instrumental break

Now it’s early spring
Cherry blossoms are bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann and her man
Are restin’ in peace

While the wind sings and dances to

The South Carolina Waltz
The South Carolina Waltz
