Operetta. Libretto by W.S. Gilbert. D'Oyly Carte Opera Company ; New Symphony Orchestra of London ; Isidore Godfrey, conductor. Compact discs. Synopsis (6 p.) inserted in container. List and learn -- Good morrow, pretty maids -- For the merriest fellows are we -- See, see at last they come to make their choice -- Buon' giorno, signorine! -- We're called gondolieri, but that's a vagary -- And now to choose our brides! -- Are you peeping? -- Thank you gallant gondolieri -- From the sunny Spanish shore -- In enterprise of martial kind -- O rapture, when alone together -- There was a time for ever gone -- I stole the Prince -- But, bless my heart, consider my position! -- Try we life-long we can never -- Bride-groom and bride! -- When a merry maiden marries -- Kind sir, you cannot have the heart, our lives to part -- Do not give way to this uncalled-for grief --Then one of us will be a queen -- Now pray, what is the cause of this remarkable hilarity -- Replying, we sing as one individual -- For ev'ryone who feels inclined -- Come let's away-our island crown awaits me --Now, Marco dear, my wishes hear -- Then away they go to an island fair. Con't -- Of happiness the very pith -- Rising early in the morning -- Take a pair of sparkling eyes -- Here we are, at the risk of our lives -- After sailing to this land -- Dance a cachucha, fandango, bolero -- There lived a king, as I've been told -- In a contemplative fashion and a tranquil frame of mind -- With ducal pomp and ducal pride -- Thid polite attention -- On the day when I was wedded -- To help unhappy commoners -- Small titles and orders for mayors and recorders -- I am a courtier grave and serious -- Here is a case unprecedented! -- Now let the loyal lieges gather round -- Speak woman speak, we're all attention! -- The royal prince was by the king entrusted -- Luiz! Casilda! -- One more, gondolieri. Sung in English. |
