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.

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.
