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 ama**i indarno,
Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
Ma per bu*tarmi in Arno!
Mi struggo e mi tormento!
O Dio, vorrei morir!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Babbo, pietà, pietà!
(translation)
Oh dear daddy
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 Ponte Vecchio
And throw myself in the Arno
I fret and suffer torments
Oh God, I would rather die
Daddy, have pity, have pity
