The story of Bella Ciao
The story of the song Bella Ciao can be traced back to the beginning of the 20th century. The resistance anthem was officially documented for the first time in 1906. At that time, Italian rice pickers sang the catchy melody and criticized the almost unbearable working conditions. But one day, they hoped, they would live in freedom.
During World War II, Italian resistance fighters, called partisans, took over the melody for theirs Hymn in the fight for freedom against fascism. It is not known who wrote the text.
Even today, the old partisan song from Italy is considered one of the most important pieces of the communist and social democratic movement.
Bella Ciao in “House of Money”
The song Bella Ciao occupies a particularly important position in the Spanish Netflix series “House of Money”. Like so many, the professor’s grandfather went to war against the Nazi state. After the war ended, he sang Bella Ciao to the childhood professor – and the professor later taught it to his team. Since then, the bank robbers in Rio, Tokyo and Co. see themselves as resistance fighters and, if in doubt, are ready to die for their project.
“The professor’s life revolved around one single thought: resistance,” explains bank robber Tokyo. The credits of the 13th and final episode of season 1 show numerous scenes of resistance from different epochs of world history – of course with Bella Ciao.
Lyrics from the “House of Money” song Bella Ciao with German translation
One morning I woke up
O beautiful, hello! beautiful, hello! beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
One morning I woke up,
And I found the invader. |
I woke up one morning
Hi Beauty! Goodbye!
I woke up one morning
And met the enemy |
O partisan, take me away,
O beautiful, hello! beautiful, hello! beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
O partisan, take me away,
That I feel like dying. |
Partisans, take me with you
Hi Beauty! Goodbye!
Partisans, take me with you
Because I feel like I’m going to die |
And if I die as a partisan,
O beautiful, hello! beautiful, hello! beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
And if I die as a partisan,
You must bury me. |
And if I die as a partisan
Hi Beauty! Goodbye!
And if I die as a partisan
Do you have to bury me |
And bury up there in the mountains,
O beautiful, hello! beautiful, hello! beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
And bury up there in the mountains,
Under the shade of a beautiful flower. |
And buried up there in the mountains
Hi Beauty! Goodbye!
And buried up there in the mountains
In the shade of a beautiful flower |
All the peoples that will pass,
O beautiful, hello! beautiful, hello! beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
All the peoples that will pass,
They will tell me What a beautiful flower! |
All the people who walk past it
Hi Beauty! Goodbye!
All the people who walk past it
Will tell me what a beautiful flower |
This is the flower of the partisan,
O beautiful, hello! beautiful, hello! beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
This is the flower of the partisan,
Dead for freedom! |
This is the partisan’s flower
Hi Beauty! Goodbye!
This is the partisan’s flower
Who died for freedom |
