And candies

The high Commissioner

and the Official Registry,

relatives

Get on with it quickly.

What a joke

this parade

of my new relatives

My temporary family.

There he is!

Certainly behind that sail

Fan pavonazzo ...

My mother-in-law lurks

And that thing from overwork

is the mad, drunken uncle

Here, she was chosen,

she acts like she's better than you

Because she was chosen

she acts like she's better than you

- He'll divorce her.

- I hope so.

She's losing her looks

For goodness' sake,

keep quiet!

Is there any wine here?

Let's have a look.

I just saw some,

some is crimson.

some the color of tea

He's so handsome

one just couldn't imagine anything better!

Of course, you would!

He's not handsome, truly.

Goro offered him to me too,.

But I turned him down

To me he looks like a king

In truth he divorced.

I hope so. He'll divorce her

For goodness sake, keep quiet!

Sch! Sch! Sch!

My lucky young friend!

Yes, it is true,

she's a flower in bloom

- Her exotic fragrance ...

- on whom Fate has bestowed

- makes my head spin

- this newly opened flower!

I've never seen such a lovely girl

No lovelier girl have I ever seen

than this Butterfly.

-and, upon my honour, I've plucked her!.

- And if you don't take this contract

and her trust seriously

Beware!

She believes All this!

Mother, come here.

Do as I say:

Something sacred to me

Can I see it?

Forgive me.

It's a present

from the Mikado..to her father.

who suggested...

And her father?

Obeyed

My Ottoke.

These puppets?

You said?

They are the spirits

of my ancestors.

Ah ...

10- leri son salita

Yesterday I went

all alone

in secret, to the Mission.

With my new life

I can adopt

a new religion.

My uncle, Bonze, doesn't know,

nor do my relatives

I follow my destiny ...

Full of humility

I bow to the God of Mr. Pinkerton.

It is my destiny

In the same church ...

kneeling beside you

I'll pray to the same God.

and to make you happy...

I will

try to forget my people

My dearest love!

11- Tutti zitti!

of his own wish

and she with consent

of her relations

who witness to the contract.

It's an Abomination!

Her uncle the Bonze!

Damn the trouble maker!

How do we get rid

of such nuisances?

Cio-Cio-San!

Cio-Cio-San!

What were you up to at the mission?

Answer, Cho-Cho-San!

What's that madman shouting about?

Answer, what did you do?

Answer, Cho-Cho-San!

What, Have you no tears?

So then, these are the fruits?

She has betrayed us all

Hou! Cio-Cio-San!

I tell you she has renounced

the ancient cult of the ancestors.

Hou! Cio-Cio-San!

Kami sarundasico!

Hou! CioCioSan!

your soul will be tortured

awaits your soul

Hey, that's enough, I say!

Come, everybody!

Let us go!

She has disowned us

and we ...

Get out of here at once.

I'll have no shindy in my house

and none of this hocus-pocus!

Hou! Cio-Cio-San!

Kami sarundasico!

We renounce you!

We renounce you!

Hou!

Cio-Cio-San!

Hou!

Cio-Cio-San!

14- Bimba, bimba,

Dear child,

do not Cry

over that croaking of frogs.

They're still howling!

The whole tribe of them

and all the bonzes in Japan

aren't worth a tear

from your sweet

pretty eyes!

Really?

Then I won't cry any more.

And I scarcely mind

their repudiation

because of your words

which echo so sweetly in my heart.

What are you doing?

My hand?

I've been told that over there

among well-bred people

it's a sign

of greater respect

And Izaghi and Izanami

Sarundasico, e Kami

Who's that muttering in there?

It's Suzuki

saying her evening prayers.

15- Viene la sera...

Night is falling.

bringing darkness and peace.

And you're here alone ...

Alone and renegade!

Renounced

but happy!

Come here

and close up the house.

Yes, yes,

we are all alone...

and the world is shut outside...

And the furious monk.

Suzuki,

my clothes.

Good night

How I've longed

to take off this sash,

With motions squirrel!

- let the bride be dressed

- The knots are coming undone!!

- in pure white.

- To think that this little toy

- Whispering to himself

- is my wife!

My wife!

- If I could only hide!

- she is so graceful..

It makes me blush so!

I am consumed with fever ..

And still

of sudden desire!

I still hear that curse

Butterfly...

renounced..

renounced..

but happy.

Dear child,

with eyes full of witchery,

now you are all mine.

You're as pure as a lily

I love your dark tresses

amid the white veils.

I am like the moon-goddess,

The little goddess of the moon

the goddess of the moon that descends

who comes down at night

from the bridge of heaven

And captivates hearts

It takes them,

and wraps them

in a white cloak.

And carries them away

to the higher regions.

But meanwhile,

you haven't told me yet,

you haven't told me

you love me.

Does that goddess

tell you the words

that satisfy burning desire?

She does

Maybe she's unwilling

for fear of having

for fear of having

a death!

Foolish fear

love does not kill,

but gives life

And smiles for heavenly joys

I see it now

in your long

oval eyes

For me

you are now

the eye of heaven.

And I liked you

from the first moment

I set eyes on you.

You are tall, strong

You laugh out so heartily.

And you say things

I've never heard in my life before.

I'm happy now,

I'm happy now,

16- Vogliatemi bene...

Love me

with a tender love,

like you would to a baby.

the kind that suits me.

Love me

We are people accustomed

to gentle things

humble and quiet ...

and tenderness

spillway and even deep ..

as the sky,

as deep sea

let me kiss

your sweet hands

My Butterfly!
