Lyrics: André Rieu. Mio Bambino Caro.

O mio babbino caro,
mi piace e 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, pieta, pieta!
Babbo, pieta, pieta

(English Translation)

Oh dear daddy
I love him, he is so 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 fret and suffer torments
Oh God, I would rather die

Daddy, have pity, have pity
Daddy, have pity, have pity
