In 1923, #Callas one of the greatest opera divas ever was born. It would be wrong of Today I’m Singing not to recognise this fact. Thanks for the reminder #Google ! And “Happy Birthday” Maria!
O mio babbino caro (by #Puccini)
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 Translatoin
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 the 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!
