"O Mio Babbino Caro" From Gianni Schicchi
Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924)

O mio babbino caro, Lauretta's aria from Gianni Schicchi

O mio babbino caro,             My dear father,
mi piace è bello, bello;        I like him, he's beautiful, beautiful;
vo'andare in Porta Rossa        I want to go to Porta Rossa
a comperar l'anello!            and buy the ring!
Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!       Yes, yes, I want to go!
e se l'amassi indarno,          And if my love is in vain,
andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,       I would go upon Ponte Vecchio 
                                 (the old Bridge in Florence),
ma per buttarmi in Arno!        only to jump in the Arno 
                                 (the river in Florence)

Mi struggo e mi tormento!       I long for him and torment myself
O Dio, vorrei morir!            O God, I'd like to die!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!            Father, have pity, have pity!
