[PRIEST] Et quatenus masculinum et femininam ses mutuo complent [CLARA] Et quatenus masculinus [PRIEST] No. Et quatenus masculinum [CLARA] Et quatenus masculinum [PRIEST] Si! Bene. Ecco [CLARA AND PRIEST] Et quatenus masculinum et femininam sese mutuo complent Unitas duorum Unam carnem Vir et mulier Simul creati, creati [SIGNOR N. AND FRANCA] The shock of winter Or coming on of spring New spring [FRANCA] Suspended summer nights The inner flights That only fall can bring [CLARA AND PRIEST] Voliti sunt a deo Ut Alliis pro alio Alliis pro alio [SIGNOR AND SIGNORA N., AND FRANCA] I am suddenly alive! I would sail across the world For just the color of your eyes [FABRIZIO, FRANCA SIGNOR and SIGNORA N.] You appear...appear to me [PRIEST] Alliis, alliis... [CLARA] Olly olly oxen free! [PRIEST] Che a detto? [CLARA] Sorry [MARGARET] The reappearing Every now and then [CLARA AND PRIEST] Os ex ossibus meis Et caro de carne mea [FABRIZIO, FRANCA, SIGNOR AND SIGNORA N., AND MARGARET] And then [FABRIZIO, FRANCA, SIGNOR AND SIGNORA N., MARGARET, AND CLARA] The diving underneath The diving down And surfacing again [SIGNORA N. AND FRANCA] I am suddenly alone [CLARA AND PRIEST] Vitam Humanam [SIGNORA AND SIGNOR N., MARGARET, FABRIZIO< FRANCA AND GIUSEPPE] I would sail across the world To know the harbor of your arms [CLARA AND PRIEST] Non est bonum esse hominem solum [ALL] You appear... Appear to me [CLARA] Mulier quam deus excosta efformat De ciro sublata quamque Ipse ad virum adduxit Admiratonis ex parte viri provocat clamorem Amoris et communionis exlamationem Hey! You stop! You stop right now! You move! You move away from him! Oh, I see you stealing! [MARGARET] Darling, you- [CLARA] You! You're a thief! You're a rotten theif! You want to steal him away from me! [MARGARET] Franca's- [CLARA] You stand over there! [MARGARET] He's her brother [CLARA] He is mine! He'll always be mine! [MARGARET] Clara, you mustn't speak to Franca that way, she's- [CLARA] No! I will! She can't! He's mine! You're not in charge of me! Why? Because I say so! [MARGARET] Please don't- [CLARA] No! You saw! And I know you saw Her kiss him like he kisses me! Go ahead and stare Jesus, this is so unfair! [FABRIZIO] She's joking [CLARA] Joking? I'm not joking! You love me... You love me... Why were you just sitting? Sitting there! Now, here is your husband! Here is your wife! You should be standing side by side! Don't you have a house? Where are your babies? There's a way to behave There's a nice way to behave! It's what nice people do and that's how it should be! That's how people meet and fall in love and how it should be! Forever! You go near him one more time You're dead! [ALL] Ahh... The shock of winter The coming on of spring That melting air The sun gone red An empty bed A scent, a sound, a gesture triggering I am suddenly alive! I am suddenly alone Knowing I will be alone till I can be alone with you That is what you do You appear, you appear Ooo...
