Malcolm McLaren Madame Butterfly Lyrics

Back in Nagasaki
I got married to Cio-Cio 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 Cio Cio

Cho Cho San was her name
And this is her tale of woe
Take it away, Cio Cio

Un bel di, vedremo
Levarsi un fil di fumo
Sull'estremo con fin del mare
E poi ka nave appare
Poi la nave bianca

Today's the day I see clear
A tiny thread of smoke appears
Where blue skies fall upon 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 but just won't let me
Run to him do I dare?
Madam b___erfly, don't blow it

(Calling b___erfly, Madam b___erfly)
That's the name he used to give me
He's my man till the day I die

(Oh sweet b___erfly, so sweet b___erfly
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 j__an
Where there she was, Cio-Cio 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 my arrow, kill this cupid
Say it with me, he'll be back
I have faith in this love track

(Calling b___erfly, Madam b___erfly)
That's the name he used to give me
He's my man till the day I die

(Oh sweet b___erfly, so sweet b___erfly
She's waiting)
He'll be back
I have faith

Piccina mogliettina
Olezzo di verbena
I nomi che mi dava al suo venire

Cio-Cio San
My little wife
My sweet b___erfly
I still hear you
I'll give you when I return

Tienta la tua paura

Little sweet, sweet b___erfly
I hear him crowing faintly
He thinks I'm still just sweet sixteen
I guess I'll tease him gently

Calling Madam b___erfly
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 b___erfly, Madam b___erfly)

b___erfly, b___erfly, have no fear
I'll be back to wipe your tears

(Oh sweet b___erfly, so sweet b___erfly
She's waiting)
I'll wait for him with unshakable faith
He'll be back

E un po' per non morire
Al primo incontro;
Ed egli alquanto in pena
Chiamèra, chiamèra:
"Piccina mogliettina
Olezzo di verbena"

I nomi che mi dava al suo venire

He'll be back

L'aspetto!
