Trio Songtext

von Stephen Sondheim

FOSCA: I am writing to you, Signora
Just as soon as I've arrived,
With a most unhappy heart.
GIORGIO: God, you are so beautiful.
FOSCA: I do not wish to cause you pain,
GIORGIO: As I remember every night.
FOSCA: So please consider what I say --
GIORGIO: Clear and beautiful.
FOSCA: With calm.
GIORGIO: Every night,
Every day,
Every part of you.
FOSCA: My heart --
CLARA: You feel so good,
FOSCA: My heart belongs --
CLARA: As if you'd never been away.
FOSCA: My heart belongs to someone else.
CLARA: Your breath so warm,
Your touch so sure.
GIORGIO: Your skin so delicate.
CLARA: Your arms so strong.
FOSCA: I am in love.
Hopelessly in love.
Hopelessly in love, and am loved
Hopelessly in turn, Signora.
CLARA & GIORGIO: All this happiness --
FOSCA: You and I --
CLARA & GIORGIO: Being here with you in the dark.
FOSCA: We're not meant for each other.
CLARA & GIORGIO: So much happiness.
FOSCA: If I seemed to imply something more --
CLARA & GIORGIO: Even more than what I felt before.
FOSCA: I apologize.
CLARA & GIORGIO: To feel your touch again --
FOSCA: But since we're forced to be together --
CLARA & GIORGIO: When so much time has passed.
FOSCA: Let us try to face the fact.
CLARA & GIORGIO: To dream of you and then,
To be with you again,
And have some time at last.
FOSCA: Let us both behave with tact.
CLARA & GIORGIO: How long were we apart?
FOSCA: If this letter seems cold-hearted --
CLARA & GIORGIO: A month, a week, a day?
FOSCA: It conceals my own distress, nonetheless --
CLARA & GIORGIO: To feel your touch again --
FOSCA: We must end what never started.
CLARA & GIORGIO: You've never been away.
FOSCA: You must recognize --
CLARA: Still, I've missed you --
GIORGIO: Shh,
FOSCA: There is nothing between us.
CLARA: So much.
GIORGIO: Shh.
FOSCA: Nothing.
GIORGIO: I'm here now.
FOSCA: Nothing.
Nothing.
CLARA: Welcome home.
