Sunday Song, spot of Puccini for your shell-likes x

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu5TkdcZA-M&w=700] Puccini's aria from Gianni Schicchi. "The action take place in Florence. It's sung by a teen girl who is in love with a boy, but his parents will only allow him to marry her if her father helps them steal their rich relative (who just died) inheritance. Lauretta is begging her father to help - she says she is in love with the boy, wants to marry and will throw herself into the river if she can't."
