(Mimi sings about herself after Rodolfo finishes his aria.) Yes. They call me Mimi, but my name is Lucia. My story is brief: I embroider linen or silk, at home or outside. I’m contented and happy, and it’s my pleasure to make roses and lilies. I love those things which possess such sweet enchantment, which speak of love and springtime, of dreams and visions, those things that people call poetic. Do you understand?
