After Mimi has collapsed on the staircase to the attic room, she is carried into the room. On the edge of death, she says that her hands are cold. In order to buy her something to keep her hands warm, Musetta pawns her jewelry and Colline decides to pawn his old overcoat, to which he sings farewell. Vecchia zimarra, Colline’s aria from La Bohème Vecchia zimarra, senti, io resto al pian, tu ascendere il sacro monte or devi. Le mie grazie ricevi. Mai non curvasti il logoro dorso ai ricchi ed ai potenti. Passâr nelle tue tasche come in antri tranquilli filosofi e poeti. Ora che i giorni lieti fuggîr, ti dico: addio, fedele amico mio. Addio, addio.
