A mio babbino caro
Mi piace è bello, bello
Vo’andare in Porta Rossa
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 !

O my dear papa
I like 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 Ponte Vecchio
And throw myself in the Arno !

I am aching, I am tortured !
Oh, God, I’d like to die !
Father, have pity, have pity !
Father, have pity, have pity !

O mon cher petit papa
Il me plait tant, il est beau, beau !
Je veux aller à Porta Rossa
Acheter l’anneau nuptial !

Si, si, je veux y aller !
Et si je l’aimais en vain,
J’irais au Ponte Vecchio
Pour me jeter dans l’Arno.

Je me débats, je me tourmente !
O mon Dieu, je voudrais mourir !
Mon cher petit papa, pitié, pitié !
Mon cher petit papa, pitié, pitié!
