Available translation(s): ENG
O mio babbino caro, mi piace è bello bello; vo'andare in Porta Rosa 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!
