O Mio Babbino Caro

O mio babbino caro,
Mi piace, e bello, bello;
Vo'andare in Porta Rossa
A comperar l'anello!

Si, si, 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, pieta, pieta!
Babbo, pieta, pieta!

(Translation: O 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 pine and I torment myself! O God, I would want to die! Daddy, have pity, have pity!)
