GUEST,Marymac90 Lyr Add: Bella Ciao (Italian folk song) (63* d) RE: Lyr Add: Bella Ciao (Italian folk song) 28 Jul 08


The crowd of non-violent activists that I hung with in the
70's and 80's used to sing this tune in English as a "zipper"
song--add your own verse that fits the format.

We are women, and we are marching
Bella ciaou, bella ciaou, bella ciaou ciaou ciaou
We are marching for liberation
We want a revolution now!

We are women, and we are working
Bella ciaou, bella ciaou, bella ciaou ciaou ciaou
We are working for liberation
We want a revolution now!

We are mothers, and we are caring,
Bella ciaou, bella ciaou, bella ciaou ciaou ciaou
We are caring for liberation
We want a revolution now!

For marching and working, you can substitute singing, crying,
or any other verb that conveys something you are doing to
help bring about a (non-violent) revolution. For women, you
can substitute daughters, families, workers, children,
whatever!

Peace,

Marymac
