Italian folk song
“Bella ciao” (“Goodbye beautiful”) is an Italian protest folk song that originated in the hardships of the mondine, the paddy field workers in the late 19th century who sang it to protest against harsh working conditions in the paddy fields of North Italy. The song was modified and adopted as an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance by the Italian partisans between 1943 and 1945 during the Italian Resistance, the resistance of Italian partisans against the Nazi German forces occupying Italy, during the Italian Civil War, and the Italian partisan struggle against the fascist Italian Social Republic and its Nazi German allies. Versions of “Bella ciao” are still sung worldwide as an anti-fascist hymn of freedom and resistance.
One of the most famous recordings is that by the Italian folk singer Giovanna Daffini, who recorded both the mondina and the partisan versions. Many artists have recorded the song, including Herbert Pagani, Mary Hopkin, Sandie Shaw, and Manu Chao.
In 2012, the melody was adopted with adapted lyrics as a worldwide environmental activist song titled “Do it now”, demanding political action against global warming.
In 2017, the song received renewed popularity due to the singing of “Bella ciao” multiple times in the Spanish television series Money Heist. As a result of the popularity of the series, there was a flood of music releases in 2018.
In March 2020, the song once again gained international attention after Europeans and Italians in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic in Italy and Europe sang “Bella ciao” from the balconies of their housing complexes.
Lyrics :
As shared by my friend Ms Jennie - UK, who is half Italian : It basically says
one morning I woke up
Goodbye beautiful....
One morning I wake up and I find the invador
Partisan take me away
Goodbye beautiful..,.
Partisan take me away as I feel like dying and If I die as a partisan
Good bye beautiful...
And if I die as a partisan you must bury me
But Bury me up there in the mountains
Goodbye beautiful...
And if you bury me up in the mountains under the shade of a beautiful flower all the people that will pass by
Goodbye beautiful..
And all the people that will pass by will say to me what a beautiful flower as this is the flower of the partisan
Goodbye beautiful..,
This is the flower of the partisan who died for freedom
This is the flower of the partisan who died for freedom 😅

Locations of the video : Famous Mirjan Fort - Kumta ( Karntaka - India )
The Mirjan Fort is located on the west coast of the Uttara Kannada district in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The fort known for its architectural elegance was the location of several battles in the past. It is about 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) from the National Highway 66 and 21 kilometres (13 mi) from Gokarna, the famous Hindu pilgrimage centre on the west coast of India.
According to the first historical version, Queen Chennabhairadevi of Gersoppa (under the Vijayanagara Empire) was initially credited with building the Mirjan Fort in the 16th century. She ruled for 54 years and also lived in the fort.[3][4][5] During her reign, the port at Mirjan, which is 32 kilometres (20 mi) to the south east of Karwar, was used for shipping pepper, saltpetre and betel nut to Surat. Gersoppa, a district annexed to Bednur, was famous for the pepper exported from this region. Consequently, the Portuguese gave the epithet "Rani, the Pepper queen" ("Rainha de Pimenta" in Portuguese) to the Queen of Gersoppa
