This is the Italian antifascist song, most recently adopted by the Iranian women protesters, and now an international symbol. Here are the English lyrics:
But bury me up in the mountain
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
But bury me up in the mountain
Under the shadow of a beautiful flower
This is the flower of the partisan
O bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
This is the flower of the partisan
Who died for freedom https://t.co/lDIsUWpYyY— Comrade Sohnhalwa (@Sanaaimuhammad3) September 28, 2022
Additional lyrics:
We wake up from a moonlight night Someone calls out ‘Hey, All Humanity’ Either all of us together Or all of us individually, We will stay awake till tomorrow.

Hoy son las elecciones en Italia
Que no olviden el origen de Bella Ciao
Contra quien combatían
No dejéis entrar entrar al fascismo por la puerta grande pic.twitter.com/HH76b9E1DI— silvia ♻️ (@Silvia33domin) September 25, 2022
In case you missed it …
This is what happened throughout Italy in 2019 when the last fascist government was in power. People turned out everywhere to sing the famous anti-fascist song "Bella Ciao". #Italy pic.twitter.com/u494LjtGqe— Brexit Bin 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇩🇪🕊🇺🇦 #BrexitHasFailed (@BrexitBin) September 26, 2022
Bella Ciao is an anti-fascism song…an anthem to universal human rights & freedom, and a reminder that Italy’s far-right continues to echo Mussolini’s conspiracies, cloaking their fascist ideology whilst rebranding their xenophobic agenda as “conservatism”.pic.twitter.com/M3PUgr2Dcd
