Madam Butterfly (Un bel di vedremo)

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.
