Chess (Complete Cast Album) - Mountain Duet текст песни

FLORENCE
This is the one situation
I wanted most to avoid
Nothing I say will convince him it isn't a trick.

ANATOLY
A drink on a clear moonlit night--I relax, she smiles
There's something peculiar going on

FLORENCE
So through my own stupid fault, I'm left to carry the can
Embarrassed, deserted, marooned--

ANATOLY
Now she can't be working for them--I mean us--
She seems so very straightforward--
But where is he?

FLORENCE
He has to turn up--it's not just the money
Perhaps it is?

ANATOLY
Maybe he's scared--just as scared as he was in the game

FLORENCE
Oh I just couldn't care less
He can go right ahead, go and wreck his career
I know I've done my best

ANATOLY
Well, at least she's a good-looking spy

FLORENCE
What if our Russian friend thinks that my plans
Have nothing to do with the chess?
If I don't say something else soon
He'll go-- nobody's on nobody's side!

ANATOLY
Listen, I hate to break up the mood
Get to the point, begin the begin
Haven't you noticed we're a protagonist short
In this idyllic, well-produced scene?

FLORENCE
All I can say is moments ago
He was right here ready and waiting

ANATOLY
Never mind him--I haven't missed him so far

ANATOLY and FLORENCE
Maybe it won't do any harm
To struggle on without his charm?
Funny how all at once I feel
That he can go jump off the mountain I won't care

FLORENCE
This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid

ANATOLY
My dear opponent--I really can't imagine why

FLORENCE
So I am not dangerous then?
What a shame!

ANATOLY
Oh you're not dangerous--who could think that of you?

ANATOLY and FLORENCE
You--you are so strange--why can't you be what you want to be?
You should be scheming, intriguing, too clever by half--

ANATOLY
I have to hand it to you
For you've managed to make me forget why I ever agreed to this farce.

ANATOLY and FLORENCE
I don't know why I can't think of anything
I would rather do
Than be wasting my time
On mountains with you

ANATOLY
Who'd ever think it, such a very pretty setting
Tell me what's the betting
Very pretty plotting too?
No matter, I've done all the work for you

FREDDIE
Who'd ever guess it, daughter in collaboration
With the very nation
Gave her father third degree
Where's daddy? Dead or in the KGB!

I have agreed new terms which in short means more money. For you as well, but that can't be helped. This meeting is therefore unnecessary. The match can continue and we don't have to be friends.
