​O Mio Babbino Caro

Text: G. Forzano
Music: G. Puccini, 1858 -1924


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

​
Translation

Oh my dear papa
I love 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'm consumed by my torment!
Oh God, I'd like to die!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
