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 pity, have pity!Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Father, have pity, have pityBabbo, pietà, pietà
