O Mio Babbino Caro

Oh My Beloved Father

O Mio Babbino Caro

Oh my dear father,O mio babbino caro,
I like him, he is handsome, handsome;mi 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 him in vain,e se l'amassi indarno,
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio,andrei 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!
