There's a story told of a little Japanese 有讲了一个小日本的故事

Sitting demurely neath the cherry blossom trees 端庄地坐在尼思的樱花树

Miss Butterfly her name, a sweet little innocent child was she 蝴蝶小姐她的名字，一个可爱的小无辜的孩子是她

Till a fine young American from the sea, to her garden came 截至罚款年轻的美国人从海上，她来到花园

   

They met 'neath the cherry blossoms every day 他们相识“，每天尼思樱花

And he taught her how to love in the American way 他教会了她如何去爱的美国方式

To love with a soul was easy to learn 爱有灵魂的是简单易学

And he sailed away with a promise to return 他乘船离开了承诺要恢复

   

Poor Butterfly, 'neath the blossoms waiting 可怜的蝴蝶，照耀下的花朵等待

Poor Butterfly, for she loved him so 可怜的蝴蝶，因为她爱他，所以

The moments pass into hours, the hours pass into years 在瞬间传递到小时，时光流逝到年

And there she smiled through her tears, she murmured low 而且她通过她流下了眼泪，她喃喃地低

   

The moon and I knew that he'd be faithful 月亮，我知道他会忠实

She knew he'd come to a by and by 她知道他会来了由和

But if he n'er came back, she'd never sigh or cry 但如果他ner回来了，她从来没有叹气还是该哭

She just would die, poor Butterfly 她只是想死，可怜的蝴蝶

   

But if he n'er came back, she'd never sigh or cry 但如果他ner回来了，她从来没有叹气还是该哭
