O mio babbino caro,
mi piace, è bello bello,
voâ??andare in Porta Rossa
a comperar lâ??anello!
Si, si, ci voglio andare!
E se lâ??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 !
English Translation
Oh my dear father,
I like him, he is very handsome.
I want to go to Porta Rossa
to buy the ring!
Yes, yes, I want to go there!
And if my love were in vain,
I would go to Ponte Vecchio
and throw myself in the Arno!
I am pining and I am tormented,
Oh God! I would want to die!
