Mitski has shared her English-language cover of Italian song ‘Bella Ciao’ – listen to it down below.The Japanese-American artist took to YouTube to share her cover, for which she admitted she “used Google Translate, shamelessly”.“I tried making an English language version of this really important Italian song called ‘Bella Ciao’,” she told fans. “Of course I don’t speak a lick of Italian so I used Google Translate shamelessly and I also took inspiration from Tom Waits and Marc Ribot’s English version of this song.“But here’s the thing: Especially if you do speak Italian, unlike me, I’m sure you can write a better translation of this than I have.

And if you’re one of those people, do it! Or try it! And record it, film it, share it. I wanna see it. Or, if you’re a really impressive person and have another language in your repertoire, my goodness, do that.”Listen to Mitski’s cover of ‘Bella Ciao’ below:Mitski is due to headline All Points East this year on August 18.
