Ah, look at how they've let this garden go
This is not Milan, Doctor
I think it's rather beautiful
Captain Bachetti, would you lend my cousin your arm?
I wish to have a word with the Doctor
Of course
I know how to walk. My cousin likes to treat me like a child
All the while as we strolled, Clara-
I hope I didn't frighten you the other day
No, not at all
I could see you reading my letter
All the while as we strolled -
I'm not afraid of death.
I rather think I'd welcome dying.
It's being shut up in a coffin, covered by the earth, that I dread
All I saw, all I knew
All that I could think of was you
All that I could think of was you
How ridiculous
To be looking at her
And be thinking of you
How could anyone
So unbeautiful
Stir my memory of you?
To feel a woman's touch
To touch a woman's hand
Reminded me how much I long to be with you
How long I've been without you near
And then to hear a woman's voice
To hold a woman's arm
To feel a woman's touch
These thoughts are bad for you.
Surely if you are sick, you must realize
That there is also the hope that you will get better
Hope in my case is in short supply
Perhaps it was the dress
The fragrance of her dress
The light perfume of silk
That's warm from being in the sun
That mingles with a woman's own perfume
The fragrance of a woman
There is no absolute happiness in anyone's life, Signora
The only happiness we can be certain of is love
The garden filled with you-
Are you speaking of friendships?
I'm speaking of a superior love
And all that I could do
Because of you
Was talk of love
Love that fills every waking moment
Love that grows every single day
Love that thinks everything is pure
Everything is beautiful
Everything is possible
Love that fuses two into one
Where we think the same thoughts
Want the same things
Live as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love that shuts away the world
Love that shuts away the world
That envelops my soul
That envelops your soul
That ennobles my life (Your life)
Love that floods
Every living moment
Love like ours
Love like-?
-like wine
An intoxication
A great blindness, if you will
You can be incredibly cruel, Captain
Cruel?
To speak to me of love
Oh, forgive me! I didn't mean to-
To dangle words like
"Happiness"
"Beautiful"
"Superior"
You can't be that naive
You with all your books
Your taste, your sensitivity
I thought you'd understand
The others - well, they're all alike
Stupidity is their excuse
As ugliness is mine
But what is yours?
I've watched you from my window
I saw you on the day that you arrived
Perhaps it was the way you walked
The way you spoke to your men
I saw that you were different then
I saw that you were kind and good
I thought you understood
They hear drums
You hear music
As do I
Don't you see?
We're the same
We are different
You and I are different
They hear only drums
All the time I watched from my room
I would think of coming downstairs
Thinking we'd meet
Thinking you'd look at me
Thinking you'd be repelled by what you saw
Don't reject me
Don't deny me, Captain
Understand me, be my friend
They hear drums, we hear music
Be my friend
