Poor Butterfly

There's a story told of a little Japanese

Sitting demurely neath the cherry blossom trees
慎重開滿櫻花的樹下
Miss Butterfly's her name

A sweet little innocent child was she
一個天真爛漫的女孩
Till a fine young American from the sea

To her garden came

They met neath the cherry blossoms everyday
日日邂逅櫻花樹下
And he tought her how to love in the American way

The moments pass into hours
刻刻成時
The hours pass into years

And as she smiles through her tears

She murmurs low
輕聲細語
The moon and I know that he'll be faithful
唯月與我知他忠誠
I'm sure he'll come to me by and by

But if he won't come back
若他不再回來
Then I'll never cry or sigh

I just must die
我定會死去
