Dimmi Bel Giovane

Testo tratto dalla poesia "Esame di ammissione del volontario alla Comune di Parigi" di Francesco Bertelli (1871).
Musica di autore anonimo,ripresa verosimilmente da melodie della tradizione popolare toscana,come spesso è accaduto in analoghe circostanze.
Benchè sia uno dei meno conosciuti questo canto è sempre stato molto caro
ai vecchi compagni anarchici e forse a qualcuno farà piacere riascoltarlo.

" Tell me handsome
honest and blonde
tell me your home what is
what is

I love the people
world is my country
free thought my faith
my faith

House is of one that lives in
and coward who ignores it
time is of the philosophers
time is of the philosophers

House is of one that lives in
and coward who ignores it
time is of the philosophers
ground for those who work it

Farewell my lovely house
goodbye my beloved mother and parents
and parents

I brave fight for the Commune
as Leonidas I'll know die
I'll know die

House is of one that lives in
and coward who ignores it
time is of the philosophers
time is of the philosophers

House is of one that lives in
and coward who ignores it
time is of the philosophers
ground for those who work it "
