Bilingual
Now, what can he want with a woman like her?
Blacker than coal and low as dirt!
He could have the world but takes a peasant!
Perhaps his brain was hurt!
Look how she holds him โ
โ And touches and attends him
The boy believes she can make him well...
And she has him in a spell
I have a gift for you
What is it?
A charm. If you wear it next to
your heart, it will make you whole again
You are my charm. Without you, I could never be whole again
I will never leave you, Daniel
Now, what do you make of a peasant like her?
Putting on airs without a doubt!
When the boy is well and does not need her โ
โ How soon he'll throw her out
Soon, I'll be dancing!
And I'll dance with you! But for now, walk slowly, Daniel
Then you must walk even more slowly
Why?
So I can catch you!
Daniel
Father
How long do you think you'll be playing this game?
This is no game
Surely you can't believe it's real?
I'm in love with Ti Moune!
You are not the first to want a peasant
I, too, know their appeal...
But you are my son
You'll do what must be done
No matter what you feel!
I know what he sees in a peasant like her...
Probably makes him rise like yeast!
Well, the girl may think she's very clever
The boy may keep her here forever
But I can tell you this:
They'll never stand before a priest!
