The Duel

Paroles
Good evening, Pierre

Studying?

Yes

How was the opera?

Lovely

Natalya Rostova was there

Oh?

Oh, that charming young girl?

I have known her since she was a child

And long carried affection for her

Yes, charming

Look, Dolokhov is coming round

And we are off to the Club

Will you come, old man?

I will come

Lend me fifty rubles?

Drink, drink

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna drink

Gonna drink

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna

Drink, drink

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna

Gonna drink

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna drink tonight

Gonna drink tonight

Drink with me my love

For there's fire in the sky

And there's ice on the ground—

Either way, my soul will die

Whoa

The doctors warn me

That, with my corpulence

Vodka and wine are dangerous for me

But I drink a great deal

Only quite at ease

After pouring several glasses

Mechanically into my large mouth

Then I feel

A pleasant warmth in my body

A sentimental attachment to my fellow men

Keep drinking old man

Keep drinking old man

Drink the whole night through

Keep drinking old man

Keep drinking old man

Drink the whole night through

Keep drinking old man

Now, Anatole

What women tonight?

Moscow ladies

Or Gypsy girls?

French actresses?

Just no more unmarried heiresses

So plain and boring!

And a little too dangerous, eh?

Anatole is a married man

A fact known only to his intimates

A Polish landowner of some small means

Had forced him to marry his daughter

Never mind about that now

It doesn't matter, I don't give a damn

Just as a duck is made to swim in water

God has made me as I am

All I care for is gaiety and women

And there's no dishonor in that

As long as there's money and vodka

I'll keep a feather in my hat

Whoa

I used to love

I used to love

I used to be better

Keep drinking old man

Yes, drink, drink, drink

Drink, drink, drink

God, to think I married a man like you

Don't speak to me, wife—

There is something inside me

Dolokhov, pour me another

Something terrible and monstrous

Here's to the health of married women!

And a smile lurks in the corner of my mouth

Here's to the health of married women

And their lovers!

Here's to the health of married women!

Here's to the health of married women

And their lovers!

Here's to the health of married women!

Here's to the health of married women

And their lovers!

How dare you touch her?

You can't love her!

Enough!

You bully, you scoundrel!

I challenge you!

Oh, a duel!

Yes, this is what I like

He will kill you

Stupid husband!

So I shall be killed

What is it to you!

Anatole, my guns

Oh, this is horribly stupid!

Just show me where to go

And tell me when to shoot

Just wait 'til you're close enough

You'll never hit him from forty paces

Well, let's begin

This is child's play

As the adversaries have refused a reconciliation

We shall please proceed with the duel

Ready your pistols

And on the count of tri

Begin to advance

Rahz! Dva! Tri!

Pierre, hold your fire

Pierre, hold your fire

Pierre, not yet!

No!

My turn

My turn

Pierre!

Stand back!

Missed

Missed

Oh my mother, my angel

My adored angel mother!

Take him away

Missed

Missed

Such a storm of feelings

You are a fool

Natasha, Natasha

Her arms, her shoulders

Her neck, her feet

The air of a connoisseur

I will m**e to her

And what will come of it?

She's first-rate, my dear

But she's not for you—

You'd better wait till she's married

You know I adore little girls

They lose their heads at once

Ask her to dinner, eh?

Sweet sister
