(la boheme)(oh, sweet little lady)

Rodolfo
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
Di mite circonfuso alba lunar,
In te ravviso il sogno
Chio vorrei sempre sognar!

Mimi
(ah, tu sol comandi, amor!)
Fremon nellanima dolcezze estreme,
Ecc nel baccio freme amor!
(oh come dolci scendono le sue
Lusinghe al cor...tu sol comandi, amor!)
No, per pieta! sei mia! vaspettan gli amici...
Gia mi mandi via? vorrei dir...ma non osso,
Di. se venissi con voi? che? mimi!
Sarebbe cosi dolce restar qui. ce freddo fuori.v
Vi staro vicina! e al ritorno? curioso!
Dammi il braccio, o mia piccina...
Obbedisco, signor! che mami...di...lo tamo.

Rodolfo e mimi
Amor! amor! amor!

Synopses
Mimi and rodolfo are getting acquainted fast. outside, rodolfos
friends call him to join them. he would rather stay with mimi,
but she shyly suggests they all go out together. "tell me
you
Me," he pleads. she holds back, at first, but as this duet
ends, they sing together for the first time, and their first word
is "love."

English translation
Rodolfo
Oh! sweet little lady! oh, sweetest vision,
With moonlight bathing your pretty face!
The dream that I see in you is the dream Ill always dream!

Mimi
(oh, you rule alone, love!)
Deep in my soul trembles the deepest of passions, etc.
Our kisses shudder with love!
(how gently now his words of praise make their way
Into my heart...you rule alone, oh love!)
No, I beg you! youre mine now! your friends are still waiting.

So soon must I leave you? I would like...i cant say it...
Speak! what if I went along? what? mimi!
How sweet instead to stay behind here. its freezing outside.

Id be right beside you! what about later? who knows, sir?
Take my arm, my dear young lady...as you say, my dear sir...
Do you love me, say! I certainly do.

Rodolfo and mimi
Love! love! love!
