"As beautiful as dawn." "A bad comparison." "Like a sunset, you're supposed to say." "They call me Mimi." "I don't know why." "You found me again." "My bonnet!" "Do you remember my first visit?" "The candle had gone out." "You were so flustered." "You had lost your key." "You searched for it in the dark." "Admit you had already found it." "I helped fate along, just a little bit." "You weren't able to see how I blushed." ""Your hands are as cold as ice." "May I warm them?"" "It was completely dark and you took my hand." "What is it?" "Nothing." "It is alright again." "Easy." "Forgive me, I'm going to be good now." "Is she sleeping?" "The doctor is on his way." "Here is the medicine." "Who is it?" "It is me, Musetta." "How beautiful and soft it is."

"Beloved forever with you the hands" "all warm" "just sleeping" "What did the doctor say?" "He's on his way." "Blessed Virgin, have mercy on this poor soul." "Don't let her die." "Can you protect the flame?" "Blessed Virgin, I am unworthy of your mercy," "but Mimi is a heavenly angel." "I still have hope." "Is it really that serious?" "I don't believe so." "Marcello, she is dead." "For you, Musetta." "How is she doing?" "Look, she is quiet." "What are you saying?" "Why are you looking at me that way?" "Courage."
