Andre Rieu Live In Dublin.

Buoso Donati has died and Rinuccio asks his aunt Zita, now head of the family, for permission to marry Lauretta, the daughter of Gianni Schcchi, providing the terms of Buoso's will are favourable. Lauretta pleads with her father to allow the marriage to take place, saying if she cannot marry Rinuccio she will go to the Ponte Vecchio and throw herself into the river Arno. After much subterfuge, all is resolved and the lovers are free to declare their love for each other and marry.
"Oh dear daddy
I love him, he is so 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 fret and suffer torments
Oh God, I would rather die
Daddy, have pity, have pity."

  • This is the English Translation (doesn't sound as good!) Oh dear daddy "Oh dear daddy I love him, he is so 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 fret and suffer torments Oh God, I would rather die Daddy, have pity, have pity."

  • No way is Sissel better! Carmen here does it the best!!!

  • Consider: the singer is from Brazil, the band was formed to play Vienese Waltzes, the song is from a Italian opera, the crowd is Irish. I do not know what she is saying but tears are streaming down my cheeks.
