No. 24: Ah, Monseiuer le Baron
Marquise and Baron
MIDI File 2' 42"
| MARQUISE: | Ah, Monsieur le Baron! | ||
| BARON: | Madame la Marquise! | ||
| MARQUISE: | Quelque froideur de ton! | ||
| BARON: | And why not, if you please? | ||
| MARQUISE: | A manner so chilly Is hardly in season. |
||
| BARON: | Madame, this is silly, You must know the reason |
||
| MARQUISE: | So cold is your carriage, | ||
| As cold as December! | |||
| BARON: | The cause is a marriage, | ||
| You doubtless remember; | |||
| So my manner must freeze — | |||
| MARQUISE: | Oui, comme un vrai glacon! | ||
| BARON: | Madame la Marquise! | ||
| MARQUISE: | Ah! Monsieur le Baron! | ||
| MARQUISE: | Ah! Monsieur le Baron! | ||
| BARON: | Madame la Marquise! | ||
| MARQUISE: | Mon ami, soyez bon! | ||
| BARON: | Excusez ma surprise. | ||
| MARQUISE: | My nephew, I know it, Has jilted your daughter. |
||
| BARON: | I cannot condone it — He's fickle as water. |
||
| MARQUISE: | He craves for your pardon | ||
| And vows reformation | |||
| BARON: | I won't be too hard on | ||
| A young aberration! | |||
| If he falls on his knees — | |||
| MARQUISE: | Il aura son pardon? | ||
| BARON: | Madame la Marquise! | ||
| MARQUISE: | Oh, Monsieur le Baron! | ||
| MARQUISE: | Oh, Monsieur le Baron! | ||
| BARON: | Madame la Marquise! | ||
| MARQUISE: | Puis-je dire, Gaston? | ||
| BARON: | Puis-je dire, Louise? | ||
| MARQUISE: | Ah, do you remember The passion you cherished? |
||
| BARON: | Though sunk to an ember, The flame has not perished. |
||
| MARQUISE: | You're really so pressing, | ||
| I cannot resist you. | |||
| BARON: | Recall the old blessing | ||
| The day when I kissed you. | |||
| Quelle douceur exquise! | |||
| (kisses MARQUISE.) | |||
| MARQUISE: | Je ne peux dire non! | ||
| BARON: | Madame la Marquise! | ||
| MARQUISE: | Oh, Monsieur le Baron! | ||
| [Dance. | |||
