Tino Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi piace, è be, bello, bello
Vo′andare in Porta Rossa
A comperar l'anello
Sì, sì, ci voglio andare
E se l′amassi indarno
Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio
Mi struggo e mi tormento
O Dio, vorrei morir
Babbo, pietà, pietà
Babbo, pietà, pietà
Tino Martin's O Mio Babbino Caro is a beautiful and emotional song that speaks of love, longing, and desperation. The song is sung from the perspective of a young woman who is deeply in love and yearns to be with her beloved. She tells her father that she wants to go to Porta Rossa to buy a ring for her loved one, as she is desperate to be with him. If her love is not reciprocated, she says that she will jump into the Arno River from Ponte Vecchio.
The woman is tormented and in pain, and she pleads with her father for mercy. Her love is so strong that she is willing to risk her life for it. The song captures the intensity of true love and the longing that comes with it. The lyrics are powerful and emotional, and Tino Martin's performance is nothing short of exceptional.

Als je dit alleen al durft…. En dan zo zingen…. Man man. Fijn. Ik jankte altijd al bij Maria Callas… maar deze is ook heel fijn. Top Tino!

Die ogen gericht naar de hemel na zijn laatste woord is prachtig, en iedereen die hem volgt en weet wat hij heeft moeten doorstaan de laatste maanden weet naar wie deze ogen gericht waren❤

George Peters Ik wist dat het iemand van zijn familie was, Maar ik weet helaas niet meer wie er was overleden van zijn familie. Sorry ik weet dat dit heel slecht van me is dat ik dit nu niet meer weet. 😳😔 Maar buiten dat is en blijft Tino Martin een topper. En als hij weer ergens een concert heeft dan ga ik er zeker naartoe. Nogmaals Tino goed gezongen en heel veel sterkte met dit verlies. 😔😢
