O mio babbino caro, mi piace bello, bello; vo'andare in Porta Rossa a comperar l'anello! S, s, 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, piet, piet! Babbo, piet, piet!
[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 mean it 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
