 Bella Ciao - Chumbawamba
 The world is waking outside my window
 Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
 Drags my senses into the sunlight
 For there are things that I must do
 Wish me luck now, I have to leave you
 Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
 With my friends now up to the city
 We're going to shake the Gates of Hell
 
 And I will tell them - we will tell them
 Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
 That our sunlight is not for franchise
 And wish the bastards drop down dead  
 Next time you see me I may be smiling
 Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
 I'll be in prison or on the TV
 I'll say, "the sunlight dragged me here!"
 Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
 Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

also remaked by the Dog Faced Hermans

There has also been a quite popular version by Hannes Wader 1 on his Album 'Arbeiterlieder'. .rm clip from amazon
