About the Song

This song was written by climate activists in Belgium in 2012. Hundreds of thousands of people sang it in Belgium that year. It has since been sung at hundreds of locations around the world.

You sing it to the tune of the Italian resistance song "Bella Ciao". (English lyrics to that song can be found on pg. 213 in the "Struggle" chapter of Rise Up Singing.)

The second video below was created by a small startup company in Europe that creates an app to help combine photo images. They are working to support climate action.

Translation: 

(Spanish singable translation):

Una mañana de sol radiante
Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Una mañana de sol radiante
Salgo a pelear al invasor 

Necesitamos estar despiertos
Abrir los ojos y mentes, vamos ya, ya, ya
A construir un, mejor planeta
Debemos todos comenzar

Nuestro planeta tiene un problema

Hay que actuar y salvarla, vamos ya, ya, ya
A construir un, mejor planeta
Debemos todos comenzar

Trump verse:
La democracia esta en peligro
Hay que votar para quitar El Trump y todo el Mal
A construir un, mejor planeta
Debemos todos comenzar
