Gelsey Bell - Natasha & Bolkonskys lyrics

[NATASHA] I know they'll like me They can't help but like me Everyone has always liked me His father, my Andrey's father His sister, my Andrey's sister There is no reason for them not to like me Are the Prince and Princess at home? [SERVANT] The Prince is not receiving, But the Princess begs you to walk up [MARY] Oh Oh, hello Won't you come in [NATASHA] Hello [MARY] And from the first glance I do not like Natasha Too fashionably dressed Frivolous and vain Her beauty, youth, and happiness My brother's love for her And my father— [BOLKONSKY] I do not wish to see her! [MARY] I know at any moment he might indulge in some freak [NATASHA] I'm sorry the Prince is still ailing [BOLKONSKY] Songstress! [NATASHA] I am not afraid of anyone But such hesitation Such unnatural manners And from the first glance I do not like Princess Mary Too plain and affected Insolent and dry I shrink into myself Assume an offhand air [MARY] Which alienates me still more [NATASHA & MARY] Constrained and strained Constrained and strained Constrained and strained Irksome Irksome [BOLKONSKY] Ah! Ah, Madam! Countess Rostova, if I am not mistaken— Oh! Oh I beg you to excuse me, Excuse me my costume, this dressing gown— I did not know, my poor girl God is my witness, I did not know you had honored us with a visit I came in such a costume only to see my daughter God is my witness, I didn't know, My poor girl [MARY] And he looked at her once Head to toe And left Muttering [NATASHA] I must take my leave [MARY] Please wait— Dear Natalie I want you to know how glad I am My brother has found happiness [NATASHA] Is that the truth? I think it is not convenient To speak of that now, Dear Princess… [MARY] She said, With such dignity and coldness [NATASHA] Though I felt tears choking me What have I said, what have I done? Crying like a child Oh, they were so awful! Oh, it all hurts so terribly Andrey Where are you?
