Lyrics of O mio babbino caro

O mio babbino caro,
Mi piace, belllo 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!

O mio babbino caro,
Mi piace, 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, piet, piet!

English translation

Oh my dear father,
I like him, he is very 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 am pining and i am tormented,
Oh god! i would want to die!
