Il testo della Mountain duet

Florence
This is the one situation i wanted most to avoid
Nothing i say will convince him this 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 no thought of my own, i'm stuck her to carry the can
Embarrassed, uncertain, marooned --

Anatoly
Now she can't be working for them -- i mean us --
She seems to know what she is doing -- but where is he?

Florence
He has to turn up -- he wanted this meeting, well didn't he?

Anatoly
Maybe he's scared --but he didn't seem scared 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 my russian friend thinks that my plans
Are more of an intimate kind?
If i don't say something else soon
He'll go -- maybe i'm on nobody's side!

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

Florence
He couldn't wait to join you up here
Maybe he walked, cable cars scare him

Anatoly
Never mind him -- i haven't missed him so far.

Both
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
No, you are not dangerous -- who could think that of you?

Both
You -- you are so strange -- why can't you be what you ought 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.

Both
I don't know why i can't think of anything
I would rather do
Than be wasting my time
On mountains with you.
