Madam Butterfly (Un Bel Di Vedremo)

Lyrics

Back in Nagasaki
 I got married to Cho Cho San
 that was her name
 In those days
 and I was her man.
 I'm going back to visit her
 she got a problem
 She got a little Cho Cho
 Cho Cho San was her name
 And this is her tale of woe
 take it away Cho Cho.
 ♪
 Today's the day that I see clear
 A tiny thread of smoke appears
 Where blue skies border on the ocean and a ship is set in motion.
 All the while I sing this song
 I see a dot on the horizon
 Growing bigger every second gleaming white in my direction.
 Who on Earth can it be coming up the path for me?
 What on Earth will he say
 shall I run to him or run away?
 Freaking out he's come to get me
 my feet are stuck and just won't let me.
 Run to him do I dare
 Madam Butterfly
 don't blow it.
 Calling Butterfly
 Madam Butterfly
 That's the name he used to give me
 He's my man 'til the day I die.
 Oh sweet Butterfly
 So sweet Butterfly
 She's waiting
 He'll be back
 I have faith in this love track.
 Pinkerton's the name
 Lieutenant Colonel Pinkerton Sir
 U.S. Navy
 I'm a bounder
 I married a Yankee girl
 But I went back to visit old Japan
 where there she was
 Cho Cho San.
 Gotta have something to believe in
 My white honky
 I do miss him.
 Someday soon he'll come around
 Just to stop my nervous breakdown.
 Call me fool! Call me stupid!
 Bend this arrow
 kill this cupid.
 Say it with me
 He'll be back
 I have faith in this love track.
 Calling Butterfly
 Madam Butterfly
 That's the name he used to give me
 He's my man 'til the day I die.
 Oh sweet Butterfly
 So sweet Butterfly
 She's waiting
 He'll be back
 I have faith
 ♪
 Little sweet
 sweet Butterfly
 I hear him crying faintly
 He thinks I'm still his sweet sixteen
 I guess I'll tease him gently.
 Calling Madam Butterfly
 his angel plucked right from the sky
 Hide my baby in strange places
 I feel the fear that I might die.
 Right in his arms and his embraces softly kissing my eyelashes
 Got no right
 no right to doubt it
 ain't no doubt
 no doubt about it.
 Call me fool! Call me stupid!
 Bend this arrow
 Kill this cupid.
 I have faith I'll always pray
 My white honky's here to stay.
 Call me Butterfly
 Madam Butterfly
 Butterfly
 Butterfly
 have no fear
 I'll be back to wipe your tears.
 Oh sweet Butterfly
 so sweet Butterfly
 she's waiting.
 I will wait for him with unshakable
 faith. He'll be back - He'll be back.
