Story behind the song
In this aria, Lauretta begs her 'Babbo' (her Daddy) to please let her marry her boyfriend. If not, she says, 'I'll go to the Ponte Vecchio and throw myself in the river.'
Lyrics
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
