O Mio Babbino Caro

Oh My Beloved Father

O Mio Babbino Caro

Oh my dear fatherO mio babbino caro
I like him, he is handsome, handsomeMi piace è bello, bello
I want to go to Porta RossaVo'andare in Porta Rossa
To buy the ring!A comperar l'anello!
Yes, yes, I want to go there!Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!
And if I loved in vainE se l'amassi indarno
I would go to the Ponte VecchioAndrei sul Ponte Vecchio
But to throw myself in the Arno!Ma per buttarmi in Arno!
I am anguished and tormented!Mi struggo e mi tormento!
Oh God, I would like to die!O Dio, vorrei morir!

Father, have mercy, have mercy!Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Father, have mercy, have mercyBabbo, pietà, pietà
