Brittain Ashford - Sonya & Natasha lyrics

[SONYA] How was it I noticed nothing? How could it go so far? It can't be that she loves him, It can't be Natasha [NATASHA] Sonya, you're back And with the tender resolve That often comes at the moment of awakening, I embraced my friend But noticing Sonya's look of embarra**ment My face expressed confusion, And suspicion Sonya, you've read the letter! [SONYA] Yes! [NATASHA] Oh Sonya, I'm glad, I can't hide it any longer! Now you know, we love one another! Oh Sonya, He writes, He writes, He writes, He writes, He writes! [SONYA] And Andrey? [NATASHA] Oh, Sonya, if you only knew How happy I am! You don't know what love is [SONYA] But Natasha, can that all be over? [NATASHA] I do not grasp the question [SONYA] Are you refusing Prince Andrey? [NATASHA] Oh, you don't understand anything! Don't talk nonsense, just listen [SONYA] But I can't believe it, I don't understand How you loved one man a whole year And suddenly, You've only known him three days— Natasha, you're joking! [NATASHA] Three days? It seems to me I've loved him a hundred years It seems to me that I've never loved anyone before Sonya, wait a bit, sit here I had heard that it happens like this And you must have heard it too But it's only now That I feel such love It's not the same as before He's my master And I am his slave What can I do, Sonya, what can I do? I'm so happy And so frightened Why can't you understand? I love him! [SONYA] Then I won't let it come to that, I shall tell, Bursting into tears! [NATASHA] What do you mean, for God's sake? If you tell, you are my enemy! You want me to be miserable? You want to tear us apart? For God's sake, Sonya, Don't tell anyone, don't torture me I have confided in you [SONYA] What has happened between you? What has he said to you? Why doesn't he come to the house And openly ask for you hand? Why this secrecy? Have you thought what his secret reasons may be? [NATASHA] I don't know what the reasons are, But there must be reasons! Sonya, one can't doubt him, one can't, One can't! Don't you understand? [SONYA] Does he love you? [NATASHA] Does he love me? Why, you've read his letter, You've seen him I can't live without him [SONYA] Natasha, think of our family And think of Prince Andrey [NATASHA] Andrey said I was free to refuse him [SONYA] But you haven't refused him, or have you? [NATASHA] Perhaps I have Perhaps all is over between me and Bolkonsky, Would you think so badly of me? [SONYA] I won't succumb to your tender tone Natasha, I don't trust him, Natasha, I'm afraid for you, Natasha! Afraid you are going to your ruin [NATASHA] Then I'll go to my ruin! Yes I will, as soon as possible! But it's not your business, It won't be you, it'll be me who'll suffer Leave me alone, yes, leave me alone! I hate you Sonya! I hate you Sonya! I hate you, I hate you! You're my enemy forever! [SONYA] I burst into sobs [NATASHA] And without a moment's reflection, I wrote the answer to Princess Mary I'd been unable to write all morning All our misunderstandings are at an end Forget everything and forgive me, But I can't be Andrey's wife
