Translation:

Oh lovely girl, oh sweet face
bathed in the soft moonlight.
I see you in a dream
I'd dream forever!

Ah! Love, you rule alone!

Already I taste in spirit
the heights of tenderness!
Love trembles at our kiss!

How sweet his praises
enter my heart...
Love, you alone rule!
He kisses Mimi.
No, please!
She frees herself.
You're mine!

Your friends are waiting.

You send me away already?

I dare not say what I'd like...

Tell me.

If I came with you...?

What? Mimi!
It would be so fine to stay here.
Outside it's cold.

I'd be near you!

And when we come back?
Coquettishly
Who knows?
Gallantly
Give me your arm, my dear...

Your servant, sir...

Tell me you love me!

I love you.
They exit, arm in arm
Love! Love! Love!

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

Mimì si è avvicinata ancor più alla finestra per modo che i raggi lunari la illuminano: Rodolfo, volgendosi, scorge Mimì avvolta come da un nimbo di luce, e la contempla, quasi estatico.

RODOLFO
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
di mite circonfuso alba lunar
in te, vivo ravviso
il sogno ch'io vorrei sempre sognar!
cingendo con le braccia Mimì
Fremon già nell'anima
le dolcezze estreme,
nel bacio freme amor!
La bacia

MIMÌ
assai commossa
Ah! tu sol comandi, amor!...

RODOLFO
cingendo colle braccia Mimì
Fremon già nell'anima
le dolcezze estreme.

MIMÌ
quasi abbandonandosi
(Oh! come dolci scendono
le sue lusinghe al core...
tu sol comandi, amore!...)

RODOLFO
Nel bacio freme amor!
bacia Mimì

MIMÌ
svincolandosi
No, per pietà!

RODOLFO
Sei mia!

MIMÌ
V'aspettan gli amici...

RODOLFO
Già mi mandi via?

MIMÌ
titubante
Vorrei dir... ma non oso...

RODOLFO
con gentilezza

MIMÌ
con graziosa furberia
Se venissi con voi?

RODOLFO
sorpreso
Che?... Mimì?
insinuante
Sarebbe così dolce restar qui.
C'è freddo fuori.

MIMÌ
con grande abbandono
Vi starò vicina!...

RODOLFO
E al ritorno?

MIMÌ
maliziosa
Curioso!

RODOLFO
Aiuta amorosamente Mimì a mettersi lo scialle
Dammi il braccio, mia piccina.

MIMÌ
Dà il braccio a Rodolfo
Obbedisco, signor!
S'avviano sottobraccio alla porta d'uscita.

RODOLFO
Che m'ami di'...

MIMÌ
con abbandono
Io t'amo!

RODOLFO
Amore !

MIMÌ
Amor!

English Libretto or Translation:

Turning, Rodolfo sees Mimi wrapped in a halo of moonlight. He comtemplates her, in ecstasy.

RODOLFO
Oh! lovely girl! Oh, sweet face
bathed in the soft moonlight.
I see in you the dream
I'd dream forever!

MIMÌ
(Ah! Love, you rule alone!...)

RODOLFO
Already I taste in spirit
The heights of tenderness!

MIMÌ
(You rule alone, O Love!)

RODOLFO
Already I taste in spirit
the heights of tenderness!
Love trembles in our kiss!

MIMÌ
(How sweet his praises
enter my heart ...
Love, you alone rule!)
Rodolfo kisses her.
No, please!

RODOLFO
You're mine!

MIMÌ
Your friends are waiting.

RODOLFO
You send me away already?

MIMÌ
I daren't say what I'd like ...

RODOLFO
Tell me.

MIMÌ
If I came with you?

RODOLFO
What? Mimi!
It would be so fine to stay here.
Outside it's cold.

MIMÌ
I'd be near you!

RODOLFO
And when we come back?

MIM
Who knows?

RODOLFO
Give me your arm, my dear ...

MIMÌ
Your servant, sir ...

RODOLFO
Tell me you love me!

MIMÌ
I love you.

RODOLFO and MIMÌ
as they go out
Beloved! My love! My love!
