O mio babbino caro [English translation]

Oh my dear papa,

I love him, he is handsome, handsome.

I want to go to Porta Rossa 1

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 2

and throw myself in the Arno! 3

I am anguished and tormented!

Oh God, I'd like to die!

Papa, have pity, have pity!

Papa, have pity, have pity!

1. Probably at the New market Loggia located in Florence at the intersection of via Calimala and via Porta Rossa2. A bridge in Florence3. A river in Florence
