A Romanian singing in Italian on a Portuguese beach. It's all Latin, after all!
“O mio babbino caro” (Oh my dear Papa) is an aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi (1918). It is Lauretta who sings it, addressing her father, the eponymous character of this opera. The daughter sings this area when the conflict between Gianni Schicchi and the Donati family reaches such a climax that her love affair with Rinuccio Donati is in danger.
English translation:
Oh 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 Ponte Vecchio
and throw myself in the Arno!
I am anguished and tormented!
Oh God, I’d like to die!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
