Operetta "P.S. Who Are You?", Act I, Scene II, No.3 - Aria: "Look But Don't Touch"Muito basicamente, este personagem (a baronesa) está num baile de máscaras assim já mais para o bêbeda, e a atirar-se aos homens todos, mantendo-os contudo afastados o suficiente ao dizer que anda à procura de alguém que lhe agrade e não de qualquer um.
Para quem conseguir seguir a voz (piano substitui a soprano) aqui está a
linha vocal com o libretto.
Para quem não conseguir, aqui está o libretto com as repetições, mas encaixá-lo é praticamente impossível por causa da divisão silábica que só está explícita na linha vocal (primeiras seis notas são um "You" repetido e prolongado, outras oito notas mais à frente para "touch", por exemplo):
Quote:
BARONESS:
You! Young man!
I know I’ve drunk a bit too much,
Still, no matter what’s your plan:
Look but don’t touch!
Look but don’t touch!
Look but don’t touch!
You may look but don’t touch!
Don't touch!
At least not around here!
If you want we can go upstairs...
Don’t really mind if somebody cares...
No, nobody cares!
One more glass for the lady, please!
Thank you very much!
How I love being such a tease!
Look but don’t touch!
Look but don’t touch!
Look but don’t touch!
You may look but don’t touch!
Don't touch!
I do as I please!
I’ve come here to have fun on my own,
And not as a prize to be shown!
A toast! I came on my own!
Alas, I feel I’m alone...
Perhaps a bit of fun
Tonight, no harm can be done!
Not with that one! Neither that one!
It’s so hard, so hard to choose!
Barons, earls, dukes and counts, and such...
Shallow rich men don’t need a muse!
They may look but don’t touch!
Look but don’t touch!
Look but don’t touch!
They may look but don’t touch!
There is never one decent man around,
Like a brave good-looking soldier back from war!
So instead we have avaricious clowns,
Like the man I married!
A useless man I can’t stand anymore!
I can’t stand anymore!
I want to lift the bore!
A toast to fun!
Much more than one!
Come toast to fun!
One more glass for the lady, please!
Thank you very much!
How I love being such a tease!
Look but don’t touch!
Look but don’t touch!
Look but don’t touch!
You may look but don’t touch!
Don't touch!
At least not around here!
If you want we can go upstairs...
Don’t really mind if somebody cares...
If you want I’ll undo my hair...
Under the dress guess what I wear!
I want to have some fun!
I’ve hardly begun!
It’s my choice, thank you very much!
The rest can look, not touch!
