"O mio babbino caro" (Oh, my dearest papa) is one of the famous arias from the opera "Gianni Schicchi" by the Italian composer "Giacomo Puccini", and it is emotionally overwhelming. I am no expert on opera, but I actually felt a wave of emotions that shook my soul when listening to Maria Callas singing "O mio babbino caro",. I believe this is a testament to her matured expeiences and greatness as an artist. As we all know, "O mio babbino caro” was featured in many Hollywood movies, from A Room With A View to Mr Bean's Holyday. It doesn't matter what people say...There is ONLY ONE and UNIQUE DIVINA and She is Maria Callas...FOREVER. Viva La Davina!!!!
O 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
(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
