Singers of Steemit-Week 1- O mio babbino caro

in music •  7 years ago  (edited)

An old, but good selection to start this one out.  I haven't posted any opera videos yet, but that is what most of my training is in.  I sing many other genres as well but this is the one I always come back to :).  This week I am choosing a song from the opera Gianni Schicchi.  This selection entitled "O mio babbino caro" is a plead.  A plead from the character Lauretta to her father, begging him to allow her to stay with her love, Rinuccio.  Below is a translation provided by ThoughtCo.



Oh my dear father,

I like him, he is very 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 pining and I am tormented,

Oh God! I would want to die!

Daddy, have mercy!



Enjoy!
