I have long wished to have this happiness
Ever since the Naryshkins' ball
Where I had the well-remembered pleasure of seeing you
How do you like the performance?
Last week, Semenova fell down on the stage
He is sensible and simple
Bold and natural
So strange and agreeable
There is nothing formidable
His smile is most naïve
Cheerful and good-natured
And he's as handsome up close as at a distance
And he's as handsome up close as at a distance
And do you know, Natasha
We are having a costume tournament soon
You are to come
Please come
Oh, I -
You are to come
Please come
Oh, I -
And I never remove my smiling eyes
From your face, your neck, your bare arms
And I never remove my smiling eyes
From your face, your neck, your bare arms
I know for certain that he is taken by me
I know for certain that he is enraptured by me
I feel him looking at my shoulders, my face, my neck, my bare arms
And I look you in the eye
And I look you in the eye
And looking into his eyes
I am frightened
There's not that barrier of modesty
I've always felt with men
I feel so terribly near
I feel that he may seize me from behind
And kiss me on the neck
How do you like Moscow?
At first, I did not like it much because
What makes a town pleasant
Ce are THE pretty femmes -
Isn't that so?
But now I like it very much indeed
We are having a costume tournament, Countess
Do come
You will be the prettiest there
You will be the prettiest there
Do come, dear Countess
And give me this flower as a pledge
We are speaking of most ordinary things
Yet I feel closer to you
Than I've ever felt
With any other man
No-one else is here
No-one else can see us
Your eyes, your eyes
Your eyes, oh, your eyes
It's all right, Natasha
I'm here
It's all right, Natasha
I'm here
And I -
I cannot speak
Look straight into my eyes
Nearness, tenderness
Smile at me
Gaze straight into my eyes
There is no barrier between us
There is nothing between us
Nothing between us
