O My Dear Father

O Mio Babbino Caro

O 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 comparar l'anello!
Yes, yes, I want to go there!Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!
And if I loved in vain,E se l'amassi indarno
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio,Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio
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 pity, have pity!Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Father, have pity, have pity!Babbo, pietà, pietà!
