Io so che alle sue pene

English Libretto or Translation:

SHARPLESS
takes Suzuki aside and tries to persuade her to consent, while Pinkerton, more and more agitated, wanders around the room and observes
I know that his pains are
not comforting!
But the child should
ensure the fate!
The pitiful
that you enter does not dare
maternal care of the child will have.

PINKERTON
Oh, the bitter fragrance of these flowers,
poisonous to my heart.
The room
of our love is unchanged .

SUZUKI
Or, me sad! And you want
me to ask a mother ...

SHARPLESS
Come on, talk,
come on, talk to the pious
and lead her here,
even see Butterfly, it does not matter.
On the contrary, it is better if he realizes that
it was done in his sight.
Come on, talk to the pious one,
come on, take her here, take
her here ...

SUZUKI
And you want me to ask a mother
Oh! me sad! Oh!me sad!
Holy souls of the forefathers!
The sun has gone out!
Oh!me sad!
Holy souls of the forefathers!
The sun has gone out!

SHARPLESS
Did not I tell you?

PINKERTON
Give her some help:
I shrink from remorse,
I feel sorry for remorse.

SHARPLESS
Vel said? do you remember?
when the man gave you:
"mind you!" She believes it "
and I was a prophet!
Deaf to the councils,
deaf to doubts, vilified
in the obstinate wait
