Bertram's Song

 

Good Heavens! His Majesty has married me

To a maid I do know well but cannot love.

I want to do the things that young gents do:


Seeing faces, lush places,

Not wasting, but tracing

The treasures of my life!


Oh I long for that gracious story,

Making love, having fun – feel free!

With sweet kisses embracing my liberty;

But His Majesty’s married me,

His Majesty married me!


Neither fair nor rich, I will ditch that bitch!

The smutty fate of common folk, I’m trapped in that yoke;

No! No, I will break it and smash it and throw it away!


I’ll take chances with lances,

Be fighting and smiting,

But will not have the maid!


Oh I’m longing to be that hero,

Having fights, feeling brave – be free!

And I’ll fight for the Duke down in Tuscany;

Their wish was to marry me,

But I’ll choose my destiny!


Finally I’ll write my own gracious story,

Making love, having fun – feel free!

With sweet kisses embracing my liberty;

Seeing faces, lush places,

Not wasting, but chasing

The hero I can be – I’m free!

 

Helena's Song

 

To you, my sweet love, I’d surrender

Wherever, my dear, you may be
For you I will cede my splendour
I’ll do anything for thee.
But, although the king now has married me
My husband has not bedded me
Instead he is off to fair Italy
Where he fights in Tuscany
Because he is longing for liberty
I will have to let him be.


I won’t see him anymore

I guess that’s love’s unhappy lore
I feel it deep inside my core, it’s like a sore.
While he will shine back in Rossillion
I’ll be off into oblivion
Oh, I wish you were not far but near, my dear.


The gulls above us, they are crying

Their tears falling down to the sea

My heart, grey as ashes, is dying
Like a phoenix in the sea.
Although a king has married me

My husband will not stay by me!
And now my heart, grey as ashes, is dying
Like a phoenix in the sea.


Oh, he thinks he will get rid of me

Wants to hide me in a dark nunnery!

By God, no, I will have my man

Make good use of everything I can!

I want my man right now with me,

Have his ring and then bear his child.

There's no chance for him to shun me,

No use going wild,

I'll fetch my catch!

 

Amore

 

Amore, amore, you are all I'm waiting for

Finally you gave my life amore

Amore, amore, this is not a game touched by your name, Diana!

Diana, Diana, how beautiful that sound

I can see and feel its magic all around

Amore, amore, forever more amore, believe me when I say

You're the essence of that word: Amore, A-mo-re!
