Puccini: "O Mio Babbino Caro" (From Gianni Schicchi) (original)

O mio babbino care,
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 sui Ponte Vecchio
Ma per buttaarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pieta, pieta!
Babbo, pieta, pieta!

Puccini: "O Mio Babbino Caro" (From Gianni Schicchi) (translation)

O my dear father,
I like it, it's beautiful,
I want to go to Porta Rossa
To buy the ring!
Yes, yes I want to go
What if I loved her in vain
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio
But to throw myself into the Arno!
I am pining and tormenting myself!
O God, I would like to die!
Father, mercy, mercy!
Father, mercy, mercy!
