《La Fanciulla del West》是普契尼的歌劇作品,其中的歌曲"Hello Minnie"的歌詞如下:
Hello Minnie, come you're dreaming of the sun?
In the sunset of the day I'll find you.
And when I come and take you by the hand
All my cares, my pain will vanish.
Goodbye to hope, goodbye to dreams,
Life has lost its charm, it's time to dream.
So farewell, the world I must adieu,
But you will stay forever with me.
For me there is no sun that shines,
No air that wafts my spirit free,
But Minnie, Minnie, Minnie, you are mine.
And I'll love you till I die.
Minnie is a character in the opera and these lyrics are sung by the title character, Scarpia.
