O' Mio Babbino Caro Lyrics

New York Room O' Mio Babbino Caro

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 amassi indarno,
andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
ma per buttarmi 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
