O Mio Babbino Caro
Tino Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O mio babbino caro
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
Ma per buttarmi in Arno

Mi struggo e mi tormento
O Dio, vorrei morir




Babbo, pietà, pietà
Babbo, pietà, pietà

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. 😔😢
