Donde lieta uscì

English Libretto or Translation:

MIMÌ
Whence happily she came
at your call of love Mimì
will return to her lonely nest;
she'll return once again
to embroidering imitation flowers.
Goodbye; and no hard feelings.
Listen.
Gather up the few things I left about.
Shut in my drawer
is that little gold ring,
and my prayer book.
Bundle everything up in an apron
And I’ll send the concierge.
Look, under the pillow
you'll find the pink bonnet.
If you want to, keep it as a souvenir of our love!
Goodbye, goodbye - and no hard feelings!
