Angela Gheorghiu Sings O Mio Babbino Caro


Thist is sung by a daughter wheedling consent from her doting father:

O mio babbino caro,
Mi piace, e bello bello,
Vo andare in Porta Rossa
A comperar I anello!
Si,si ci voglio andare
E se I 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!

Translation

Oh my dear daddy
I love him, he is so handsome
I want to go to Porta Rossa
To buy the ring!
Yes, yes, I mean it
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!
Daddy, have pity, have pity!
