O MIO BABINO CARO

Original Italian Lyrics
O mio babbino caro,
mi piace, è bello, bello.
Vo’andare in Porta Rossa a comperar l’anello!                                                     MY TRAVIS...1975

...

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!

Literal English Translation
Oh my dear papa,
I love him, he is handsome, 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 am anguished and tormented!                                          
Oh God,

Papa, have pity, have pity!    
Papa, have pity, have pity!
