It's nice that paradox released a free DLC alongside the 20$ soundtrack

[SomeFrenchie]

What's even better is that if an Italian civil war kicks off the game stops whatever song was playing and starts playing this one

[PrometheanGOld]

Paradox really has it out to make many historical masterpieces into gigamasterpieces

[andreatrezzi]

As an Italian, this is a masterpiece. The best version I've ever heard of this song. It's so powerful, intense and full of "sadness" as it should be

[tersus]

Mussolini - "Why do I hear boss music?"

[darjuz]

Fact: Bella Ciao during the civil war was not sang frequently by the partisans in the war period, the song gained popularity mostly after the war.

[giulio_bread]

As an Italian, this song means a lot to us, thank you Paradox.

[rusoplatense]

I played the civil war with this song on repeat in the background. My god i have never been more invested in microing a frontline

[red_amoguss]

What are you gonna do? Unshoot Mussolini?

[TSSmith]

Italians, you may continue to make fun of me for not speaking any of Italian outside if this song.

[mariochiaparini]

I am Brazilian and my great-granddad was a partigiano from Cremona. Loved to sing 'Fischia il Vento' and 'Bella ciao'. He even stood up against the Germans with the Brazilian army. And then he took a leap of faith, moved to Brazil searching for a better life. So, jamming to 'Bella Ciao' feels like keeping a family tradition alive!

[gyalogdandar]

whoever this "Blood Alone" is, I want to tell him that he made a great DLC.

[lancesavage]

I played Italy right after the DLC launched and had the in-game music set to weighted shuffle. I went socialist and defied the duce kicking off the civil war. Immedietly Bella Ciao plays when the event fired off. Definitely worth the pre-order

[jhontorfinn]

The soundtrack is way more better than Entire DLC 💀

This is the flower.
This is the flower of the partisan.
This is the flower.
This is the flower of the partisan.
This is the flower.
This is the flower of the partisan.
This is the flower.
This is the flower of the partisan.

One morning, I woke up.
Oh Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao ciao ciao.
One morning, I woke up,
To find an invader.
Oh partisan, take me away.
Oh Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao ciao ciao.
Oh partisan, take me away,
Otherwise I feel I’ll die.

This is the flower, of the partisan.
This is the flower, of the partisan.

And if I die as, a partisan.
Oh Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao ciao ciao.
And if I die as, a partisan,
You’ll have to bury me.
Please bury me, up in the mountains.
Oh Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao ciao ciao.
Please bury me, up in the mountains,
Beneath the shade of a pretty flower.
Please bury me, up in the mountains,
Beneath the shade of a pretty flower.

And the people, who pass by.
Oh Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao ciao ciao.
And the people, who pass by,
Will say what a pretty flower.
And the people, who pass by,
Will say what a pretty flower.

This is the flower, of the partisan.
Oh Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao ciao ciao.
This is the flower, of the partisan,
Who died for liberty.
This is the flower, of the partisan,
Who died for liberty.

My translation focuses on keeping the rhythm of the song first, accuracy second, and I can’t be bothered finding rhymes. Others can probably do better.

Questo è il fiore
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
Questo è il fiore
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
Questo è il fiore
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
Questo è il fiore
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
Questo è il fiore
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
Una mattina mi son svegliato
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao!
Una mattina mi son svegliato
E ho trovato l'invasor.
O partigiano portami via
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
O partigiano portami via
Che mi sento di morir.
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
E se io muoio da partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
E se io muoio da partigiano
Tu mi devi seppellir.
Seppellire lassù in montagna,
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
Seppellire lassù in montagna
Sotto l'ombra di un bel fior.
Seppellire lassù in montagna
Sotto l'ombra di un bel fior.
Tutte le genti che passeranno,
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
Tutte le genti che passeranno,
Mi diranno Che bel fior!
Tutte le genti che passeranno,
Mi diranno Che bel fior!
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
morto per la libertà!
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
morto per la libertà!

The soprano voice marked the solemn of the nation, under the harshness of the fascist rule. As the song continues, the rhythm gets faster and firmer, as the resistance is a must, to regain everything these "Black Shirts" stolen. As the song goes to the verse of telling the fallen resistance soldiers, it was a twist with a more deep, solemn, as the lost of these men are for the people, or maybe it is nothing. And the last part is such a fire, with the victory of the resistance. Thousands of voice, of flowers, of "partisan flower" marched to Rome, to defeat all the fascist
