Madama Butterfly Page #5

---

She has been standing waiting for you

all night long with the baby.

How did she know?

For three years now

no ship has put into the harbour

without Butterfly scrutinising

its colour

and flag from afar.

I told you, didn't I?

I'll call her...

No,

not yet.

You see,

last night, the room

flowers all over

I told you, didn't I?

This is dreadful!

Who's out there in the garden?

A woman!

Shut up!

Who is it? Who is it?

Best tell her everything.

Who is it? Who is it?

She has come with me.

Who is it? Who is it?

His wife.

Holy spirits of my ancestors!

For the little one

the sun has gone out!

the sun has gone out!

We chose this early hour

in order to find you alone,

Suzuki...

and in this hour of trial

to seek some means of consolation

and support with you.

What good is it?

What good is it?

35- Io so che alle sue pene

I know that her penis

there is no consolation.

But the child should

secure his future.

- Oh, the bitter perfume

- the pitiful

of these flowers

that does not dare to enter ...

- is poison to the heart!

- will care like a mother

for the child.

Oh, I'm so miserable!

The room where we loved

is unchanged...

- And you want me to ask a mother...

- Come, speak to that kind lady

- has the chill of death

- and bring her in here.

- Oh, I'm so miserable!

Even if Butterfly

should see her,

On the contrary,better if she should realize

the truth through seeing her.

Three years have passed,

and she has counted the days and the hours!

Come, Suzuki, come...

I can't stay here...

Oh, I'm so miserable!

Sharpless, I'll wait for you on the way back...

36- Non ve I'avevo detto?

Didn't I tell you so?

You give her some help...

I am completely crushed by remorse.

I am completely crushed by remorse.

I told you!

Do you remember?

When she gave you her hand,

"Beware!" I said, "she believes in all this!"

I was prophet allor

she wasDeaf to advice,

deaf to all doubts,

a victim of scorn,

obstinately waiting,

she fortified her heart.

Yes, it's all my fault

I see now

and realise I shall never

find respite from this torture.

respite from this torture.

no!

Go,

The sad truth

she must hear the truth alone.

37- Addio,

Farewell,

flowery refuge

of happiness

and love...

Her sweet face will haunt me ever,

torturing me agonizingly.

Her trusting heart

already senses the truth

-Farewell, flowery refuge...

- I told you

- Do you remember?and my words were prophetic then!

- I can't bear your desolation...

I can't bear the sorrow...

I flee. I flee.

ah. I am vile!

I can't bear the sorrow

I flee. I flee.

ah. I am vile!

Will you tell her that?

I promise.

And you'll advise her

to trust me?

I promise.

I'll care for him like my own son.

I believe you

But it must be quite alone with her...

in this hour of crisis!

quite alone

She'll cry so bitterly!

She'll cry so bitterly!

38- Suzuki...

Suzuki...

Suzuki...

Where are you?

Here I am...

I was praying tidying up...

Don't come in... no... no...

NO, no, no

He's here,

he's here...

where's he hidden?

He's here,

He's here,

There's the Consul...

and where?

. where?

He isn't here!

That woman?

What does she want?

Nobody speaks!

Why are you crying?

NO, do not tell me anything ...

anything

or I might die right here

39- Tu, Suzuki,

You, Suzuki,

who's always so kind

don't cry!

if you realy love me..

just whisper yes or no

Is he alive?

Yes.

But he won't come back any more.

They've told you?

viper!

Will you answer me?

he'll never come back.

Buthe arrived yesterday?

Yes.

Oh, that woman makes

me feel so afraid,

so afraid!

She is the unwitting cause

of your misfortunes.

Forgive her.

Ah! she's his wife!

Everything is finished for me!

Everything is over! Oh!

Be strong.

They want to take everything

away from me! My son!

it will be better for him

Oh, unhappy mother!

unhappy mother!

To give up

My son!

Very well then!

I must obey him

Can you ever forgive me, Butterfly?

Under the great dome of heaven,

there isn't a happier woman than you.

Be so always,

do not be sad for me

Poor little thing!

it's devastating

will you give us the child?

I will give his son..

if he comes to get him

come back in half an hour

40- Come una mosca prigioniera

Like a fly captive

her little heart is beating!

There's too much light ,

too much spring.

Close the screens !

Where's my child?

He's playing..

Shall I call him?

Let him play...

Let him play...

Go and keep him company.

I'll stay with you.

'Go, go'.

I order you

41- "Con onor muore

"who dies with honour

who cannot live with honour."

Your? Your? Your?

my little angle

My Love, my love,

flower of the lily and rose.

Never know:

for you,

for your innocent eyes,

Butterfly is about to die...

so that you may go

away beyond the sea

never regretting

when you get old

that your mother was deserted

Oh, you who have come down to me

from high heaven,

take a good long look..

long look..

to your mother's face,

that you may keep a faint memory of it,

Look well!

Little love,

farewell!

Farewell,

my little love!

Go

and play.

and play.

Butterfly!

Butterfly!

Butterfly!
