It's from a puccini opera Hazel and it sends shivers up my spine - beautiful. Oh my beloved papa - she is begging to her father to over her beau. Here is an English version, just wait a bit until it gets going.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Nbe_0nZNQ
I think he is a counter tenor.

Re: Just listen
Not the most inspiring of lyrics, but a beautiful rendition all the same, and much better when you don't actually understand the language!Oh my dear papa,
I love him, he is handsome, 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 the Ponte Vecchio
And throw myself in the Arno!
I am anguished and tormented!
Oh God, I'd like to die!
Papa, have pity, have pity!
Papa, have pity, have pity!

It must be down to the melody and the voice then
