No. 16 - Finale Act II
Fujiwara: | Is this your love, this living lie! This woman's trick of lip and eye! A tale that's told, A toy that's sold To any man who cares to buy! |
Hana: | How frail and brittle love must be To show so little faith in me! Is this the love I deem'd so great? Then take your love and give me hate! |
Fujiwara: | My faith is fled! |
Hana: | My hope has flown! |
Fujiwara: | My love is dead! |
Hana: | Not yours alone! |
Both: | The vows you swore Have proved untrue, For evermore, for evermore, I've done with you, I've done with you! |
Fujiwara: | My heart is broken and my love betrayed! |
Hana: | A faithless love! a worthless heart! |
Fujiwara: | My name the play-thing of a singing maid! |
Hana: | In truth, you play a manly part! You dare to hold my honour up to scorn! You who have broken ev'ry vow! |
Fujiwara: | Fickle and worthless! Faithless and forsworn! |
Hana: | Oh, how I hate you now! |
Fujiwara: | My faith is fled! |
Hana: | My hope has flown! |
Fujiwara: | My love is dead! |
Hana: | Not yours alone! |
Both: | The vows you swore Have proved untrue, For evermore, for evermore, I've done with you, I've done with you! |
Chorus: | Fly for safety! Faster, faster! Angry are the gods on high! Do not wait to court disaster, Fly for safety, fly! The underworld With thunder peals; Asunder hurl'd It rocks and reels! The houses sway, The ground gives way Beneath our very heels! Escape, escape, Escape, escape, While yet you may, While yet you may! |
