John Loving Iii Poet Ballad

Oh My Dear Mama

Oh my dear Mama 
I am in love with her 
I want to go to Port Rossa 
To buy a wedding ring 
Yes, yes, I want to go there 
And if my love were in vain 
I'd go to Ponte Vecchio 
And fall to my destiny 
I struggle with this tormenting 
Oh God, I'd like to die
mama have pity on me
mama have pity on me


To be sung to "O mio babbino caro" by Puccini
You can find it on YouTube I suggest Maria Callas.

John Loving Iii October 30, 2015 at 11:01 PM Actually this is a close translation of the. Actual song. I've been practicing singing it all afternoon. I've heard this song many times and though I never understood it before today it would always bring tears to my eyes. The spirit of this song is a living thing. It is my honor to offer my translation of it in a way that it can be sung in English.
