O mio babbino caro,
mi piace, AfA 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, pietAfA , pietAfA !
Babbo, pietAfA , pietAfA !


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!
