letra de liaisons - stephen sondheim
[[mme. armfeldt:]
at the villa of the baron de signac
where i spent a somewhat infamous year
at the villa of the baron de signac
i had ladies in attendance
fire-opal pendant
liaisons! what’s happened to them?
liaisons today
disgraceful! what’s become of them?
some of them
hardly pay their shoddy way
what once was a rare champagne
is now just an amiable hock
what once was a villa, at least
is “digs
what once was a gown with train
is now just a simple little frock
what once was a sumptuous feast
is figs
no–not even figs–raisins!
ah, liaisons!
now, where was i? where was i? oh, yes
at the palace of the duke of ferrara
who was prematurely deaf but a dear
at the palace of the duke of ferrara
i acquired some position
plus a tiny t-tian
liaisons! what’s happened to them?
liaisons today
to see them–indiscriminate
women, it
pains me more than i can say
the lack of taste that they display!
where is style?
where is sk!ll?
where is forethought?
where’s discretion of the heart?
where’s p-ssion in the art?
where’s craft?
with a smile
and a will
but with more thought
i acquired a chateau
extravagantly o
verstaffed
too many people muddle s-x
with mere desire
and when emotion intervenes
the nets descend
it should on no account perplex
or worse, inspire
it’s but a pleasurable means
to a measurable end
why does no one comprehend?
let us hope this lunacy’s just a trend
now where was i? where was i? oh, yes
in the castle of the king of the belgians
(we would visit through a false chiffonier)
in the castle of the king of the belgians
who, when things got rather touchy
deeded me a duchy
liaisons! what’s happened to them?
liaisons today
untidy! take my daughter, i
taught her, i
tried my best to point the way
i even named her desiree
in a world where the kings are employers
where the amateur prevails
and delicacy fails
to pay
in a world where the princes are lawyers
what can anyone expect
except to recollect
lia
[she falls asleep]
