Vogliatemi BeneVogliatemi bene ("Love me") is one of the most famous arias from Puccini's Madama Butterfly, and a staple of the verismo canon. This aria was often performed by the legendary soprano Maria Callas, and her recording of it continues to be a favorite of opera aficionados. Lyrics - Vogliatemi bene,
- un bene piccolino,
- un bene da bambino,
- quale a me si conviene.
- Vogliatemi bene.
- Noi siamo gente avvezza alle piccole cose
- umili e silenziose,
- ad una tenerezza sfiorante e pur profonda
- come il ciel, come londa del mare!
Translation: - Love me a little,
- with a little love,
- the kind that suits me.
- We're a people used
- to tiny things,
- humble and silent,
- to a tenderness that barely touches
- and yet is as deep as the sky
- or as the sea's wave.
