Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
SUZUKI
svegliandosi di soprassalto
Gia il sole!
si alza, va verso Butterfly e le batte sulla spalla
Cio-cio-san...
BUTTERFLY
si scuote e fidente dice:
Verrà, verrà, vedrai.
vede il bimbo addormentato e lo prende sulle braccia, avviandosi verso la stanza a sinistra
SUZUKI
Salite a riposare, affranta siete
al suo venire... vi chiamerò.
BUTTERFLY
salendo la scaletta
Dormi amor mio, dormi sul mio cor.
Tu se con Dio ed io col mio dolor...
A te irai degli astri d'or.
Bimbo mio dormi!
entra nella camera a sinistra
SUZUKI
mestamente, crollando la testa
Povera Butterfly!
BUTTERFLY
voce un po' lontana
Dormi amor mio, dormi sul mio cor.
voce più lontana
Tu sei con Dio ed io col mio dolor.
SUZUKI
Povera Butterfly!
Si batte lievemente all'uscio d'ingresso.
SUZUKI
Chi sia?
Si batte più forte. Suzuki va ad aprire lo shosi nel fondo.
SUZUKI
grida, per la grande sorpresa
Oh!

Go up to rest, you are frightened
when he comes ... I will call you.

You with God and I with my
