Oh meu paizinho querido...(O mio babbino caro)

What are the lyrics to ‘O mio babbino caro’?

O mio babbino caro

Mi piace, è bello, bello

Vo’ andare in Porta Rossa

A comperar l’anello!

Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!

E se l’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 papa

I like him, he is so 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 the Ponte Vecchio

And throw myself in the Arno!

I am pining, I am tormented!

Oh God, I would want to die!

Father, have pity, have pity!

Father, have pity, have pity!
