letra de i had just been pardoned - rod gilfry
[cellini]
i had just been pardoned and peacefully
was pushing my way through the crowd
when i saw three villainous fellows glaring
dark and beetle-browed
there was maffio on one side
his henchmen on the other
but being of those
who love repose
my rage i had to smother
well, sure enough
the boys got tough
at me the three of ’em sprang
but cellini’s sword is a noted one
and when it started to clang
i quickly got rid of the henchmen
and the murder they tried to promote
and as for mister maffio
i drove my sword through his throat
[emilia squeals.]
what else could i do?
three of them attacked me
and three of them are gory
and there they lie
and here am i—
and that’s my story
[narrator, spoken]
just then, a rap upon the door
it’s angela, cellini’s… girl
cellini was a sculptor who’d insist his models modeled nude
so there they’d sit without a slip
while he carved them chip by chip
angela, his current flame
asks about his latest shame
[angela, spoken]
you’re in trouble again?
[cellini, spoken]
let me tell you all about it.
(sung)
i had just been pardoned and peacefully
was pushing my way through the crowd
when i saw five villainous fellows glaring
dark and beetle-browed
there was maffio on one side
his henchmen on the other
but being of those
who love repose
my rage i had to smother
well, sure enough
the boys got tough
at me the six of ’em sprang
but cellini’s sword is a noted one
and when it started to clang
i quickly got rid of the henchmen
and the murder they tried to promote
and as for mister maffio
i drove my sword through his throat
it’s still there, i’ve no doubt
i strove in time with all my strength
but i couldn’t pull it out
[angela squeals.]
eight of them attacked me
and eight of them are gory
and there they lie
and here am i—
and that’s my story
[angela, spoken]
the duke will never forgive you!
[cellini, spoken]
then posterity will never forgive the duke. men like myself don’t happen twice.
[angela, spoken]
but he’ll k!ll you! aren’t you afraid?
[cellini, spoken]
i don’t have to be, angela, believe me. that statue is a better armor to me than any duke’s pardon. my nymph—our nymph, angela.
[angela, spoken]
i suppose you want to work. shall i disrobe?
[cellini, spoken]
disrobe! must i only see you when i have a chisel in my hand? can you not think of me as a man as well as an artist?
[angela, spoken]
i, i don’t know, master.
[cellini, spoken]
and don’t call me master. call me benvenuto.
[angela, spoken]
benvenuto.
[cellini, spoken]
again.
[angela, spoken]
benvenuto.
[cellini, spoken]
oh, angela, angela! that one word from your lips makes me forget that i am a violent and dreadful man, bathed in the blood of mine enemies—
[angela, spoken]
i had almost forgotten your danger!
[cellini, spoken]
do not interrupt me when i’m speaking well.
[angela, spoken]
i’m sorry.
[cellini, spoken]
no, it’s me who’s sorry. believe me, i never make a beautiful thing without thinking of you.
[angela, spoken]
you’re very complimentary today.
[cellini, spoken]
you like it?
[angela, spoken]
almost as much as she did.
[cellini, spoken]
who?
[angela, spoken]
the lady you said the same thing to last thursday. the one with the great legs.
[cellini, spoken]
oh, d-mn it! simply and truly: i love you. i think you very beautiful.
