Just Music. Enrico Caruso & Geraldine Farrar sing "Vogliatemi Bene" from Giacomo Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" in this Victrola recording from 1908.
Notte completa: cioelo purissimo e stellato. Avvicinandosi lentamente a Pinkerton seduto sulla panca nel giardino. Si inginocchia ai piedi di Pinkerton e los guarda con tenerezza, quasi suplichevole.
BUTTERFLY
Vogliatemi bene,
un ben piccolino,
un bene da bambino,
quale a me si conviene.
Vogliatemi bene.
Noi siamo gente avvezza
alle piccole cose
umili e silenziose,
ad una tenerezza
sfiorante e pur profonda
come il ciel, come l'onda del mare!
Full night: that is pure and starry. Slowly approaching Pinkerton sitting on the bench in the garden. He kneels at Pinkerton's feet and looks at him with tenderness, almost supri-compliant.
BUTTERFLY
Please feel good,
a very small child
a child's good,
which one suits me.
Please feel good.
We are good people
to the little things
humble and silent,
to a tenderness
grazing and yet deep
like heaven, like the wave of the sea!
