O mio babbino caro

O mio babbino caro, mi piace è bello bello;
vo'andare in Porta Rosa 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!

by Giovacchino Forzano (1884-1970)
