Giacomo Puccini
O mio babbino caro
In Italiano
O mio babbino caro,
mi piace, è bello, bello.
Vo'andare in Porta Rossa
a comperar l'anello!
Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!
e se l'amassi indarno,
andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
ma per buttarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
In English
Oh, my dear daddy,
I adore him, he is very handsome.
I want to go to Porta Rossa
to buy the ring!
Yes, yes, I want to go!
And if my love were in vain,
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio
and throw myself in the Arno!
I fret and I am tormented!
Oh God, I would like to die!
Daddy, have pity, have pity.
Daddy, have pity, have pity.
