3 Famous Italian Songs in Money Heist – Italophilia (2024)

Money Heist (Spanish:La Casa de Papel, Italian: La Casa di Carta) is a Spanish drama with popular Italian songs. The show is based on a gang’s heist in the Royal Mint of Spain. It is fast paced and has dramatic story lines, plot twists and exceptional soundtrack. Here are 3 famous Italian songs in Money Heist that I absolutely loved!

3 Famous Italian Songs in Money Heist:

1. Bella Ciao

Bella Ciao is definitely the most famous song from Money Heist.

But did you know Bella Ciao is not originally from the show??!

Yes, it is an Italian folk song that was sung by the seasonal workers of the Po Valley in Northern Italy in the 19th century.

The song was later modified during World War II and soon became like a song of Italian resistance.

Currently, it’s almost like an Anti-Fascist anthem and has gained popularity worldwide.

There are several versions of Bella Ciao used as a slogan by anti fascists across the world. Listen to the original song below!

Listen to the Hindi version of the song

Lyrics:

Una mattina mi son svegliato,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao!
Una mattina mi son svegliato
e ho trovato l’invasor.

O partigiano portami via,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
o partigiano portami via
che mi sento di morir.

E se io muoio da partigiano,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
e se io muoio da partigiano
tu mi devi seppellir.

Seppellire lassù in montagna,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
seppellire lassù in montagna
sotto l’ombra di un bel fior.

E le genti che passeranno,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
e le genti che passeranno
mi diranno «che bel fior.

Questo è il fiore del partigiano,
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
questo è il fiore del partigiano
morto per la libertà

2. Ti Amo by Umberto Tozzi

Ti Amo is a classic Italian song that is timeless. It is also one of my favorite Italian songs.

This hit song by Umberto Tozzi is also heard in the last season of Money Heist.

Ti Amo is a meaningful and soul stirring song that is more than 4 decades old!!

The cast of Money Heist singing Ti Amo is a beautiful part of the show. It is for this reason that the song has become more well known outside of Italy too.

Listen to the song

Lyrics:

Ti amo
In sogno, ti amo
In aria, ti amo
Se viene testa vuol dire che basta lasciamoci


Ti amo
Io sono, ti amo
In fondo un uomo
Che non ha freddo nel cuore e nel letto, comando ioMa tremo davanti al tuo seno
Ti odio e ti amo


È una farfalla che muore sbattendo le ali
L’amore che a letto si fa (ti amo)
Rendimi l’altra metà (ti amo, ti amo)
Oggi ritorno da lei (ti amo, ti amo)
Primo Maggio, su coraggio (ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo)


Io ti amo e chiedo perdono
Ricordi chi sono
Apri la porta a un guerriero di carta igienica
E dammi il tuo vino leggero (ti amo, ti amo)
Che hai fatto quando non c’ero (ti amo, ti amo)
E le lenzuola di lino (ti amo, ti amo
Dammi il sonno di un bambino (ti amo, ti amo, ti amo)
Che, ta, sogna cavalli e si gira (si gira)


E un po’ di lavoro
Fammi abbracciare una donna che stira cantando
E poi fatti un po’ prendere in giro (ti amo)
Prima di fare l’amore (ti amo, ti amo)
Vesti la rabbia di pace e sottane sulla luce (ti amo, ti amo)Io ti amo e chiedo perdono
Ricordi chi sono
Ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo

Dammi il tuo vino leggero
Che hai fatto quando non c’ero
E le lenzuola di lino
Dammi il sonno di un bambino
Che, ta, sogna (sogna) cavalli e si gira (gira)
E un po’ di lavoro
Fammi abbracciare una donna che stira cantando
E poi fatti un po’ prendere in giro (ti amo)
Prima di fare l’amore (ti amo, ti amo)


Vesti la rabbia di pace e sottane sulla luceIo ti amo, ti amo, ti
Amo, ti amo, ti
Amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo Ti amo, ti amo, ti
Amo, ti amo, ti
Amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo

3. Centro di Gravita` Permanente by Franco Battiato

Centro di Gravita` Permanente is another famous Italian song used in the show Money Heist.

This song, bu Franco Battiato, has been given a fun and fast remastered version in the show. It also portrays an interesting storytelling alongside. Listen to the song here.

Lyrics:

Una vecchia bretone
Con un cappello e un ombrello di carta di riso e canna di bambù
Capitani coraggiosi
Furbi contrabbandieri macedoni
Gesuiti euclidei
Vestiti come dei bonzi per entrare a corte degli imperatori
Della dinastia dei Ming Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
Che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose sulla gente


Avrei bisogno di
Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
Che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose sulla gente
Over and over again

Per le strade di Pechino erano giorni di maggio
Tra noi si scherzava a raccogliere ortiche
Non sopporto i cori russi
La musica finto rock la new wave italiana il free jazz punk inglese
Neanche la nera africana

Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
Che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose sulla gente
Avrei bisogno di
Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
Che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose sulla gente
Over and over again

You are a woman in love
Baby I need your love
I want your love
Over and over again
Come in into my life
Baby, I want to give you my soul
Baby, I need your love

FRANCO BATTIATO

Popularity of Money Heist

Money Heist is a fast paced action show that is available on Netflix. The Italian songs in Money Heist are of course a cherry on the cake! The writing is clever in the first and second season (sometimes lazy) but what I love most is the idea of Salvador Dali’ masks! (No spoiler zone!)

Money Heist’s popularity has furthermore also led to the production of a series of merchandise which you can find here.
