Balcony Scene Lyrics

Maria? Maria!
Shh!
Maria!
Quiet!
Come down.
No!
Maria!
Please! If Bernardo knew.
He's at the dance! Come down.
He will soon bring Anita home.

Just for a minute?
A minute is not enough.
For an hour then?
I cannot.
Forever!
Shhhh!
Then I'm comin' up!
Maria!
Momentito, papa. It is dangerous.
I'm not one of them.
You are, but to me, you are not. Just as I am one of them.
To me, you're all that--
Maruca!
Si! Yo vengo, papa.
Maruca?
His pet name for me.
I like him, and he will like me.
No. He is like Bernardo: afraid. Imagine being afraid of you.
You see?
I see you.
See only me.
