    One morning I awakened
    Oh Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful! Bye! Bye!
    One morning I awakened
    And I found the invader

    Oh partisan carry me away
    Oh Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful! Bye! Bye!
    Oh partisan carry me away
    Because I feel death approaching

    And if I die as a partisan
    (And if I die on the mountain)
    Oh Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful! Bye! Bye!
    And if I die as a partisan
    (And if I die on the mountain)
    Then you must bury me

    Bury me up in the mountain
    (And you have to bury me)
    Oh Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful! Bye! Bye!
    Bury me up in the mountain
    (And you have to bury me)
    Under the shade of a beautiful flower

    And the people who shall pass
    (And all those who shall pass)
    Oh Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful! Bye! Bye!
    And the people who shall pass
    (And all those who shall pass)
    Will tell me: "what a beautiful flower"
    (And they will say: "what a beautiful flower")

    This is the flower of the partisan

    (And this is the flower of the partisan)
    Oh Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful, Goodbye beautiful! Bye! Bye!
    This is the flower of the partisan

    (And this is the flower of the partisan)
    Who died for freedom
