Текст Pierre Natasha – A Call To Pierre

A servant hands a letter to Pierre

Servant:
A letter from Marya Dmitryevna asking you to come and visit her
On a matter of great importance

Pierre:
What?
What can they want with me?

He arrives at Marya D.’s

Marya D.:
Pierre, old friend I’m sorry it’s late
I’m sorry I haven’t seen you about
Where have you been?
Where have you been?

Pierre:
I have been studying

Marya D.:
Pierre old friend, we need your help
Pierre old friend: the family name!
We need your help
We need your help
There’s ruin at the door

Pierre:
Marya?

Marya D.:
Natasha has let down the family

Pierre:
What?

Marya D.:
Natasha has broken with Andrey

Pierre:
What?

Marya D.:
Natasha has tried to elope

Pierre:
What?

Marya D.:
Natasha and Anatole Kuragin!

Pierre:
What?!

Marya D.:
We need your help
We need your help
There’s ruin at the door

Pierre:
Natasha, that charming girl?
I can’t believe my ears
So I am not the only man
Chained to a bad woman
And Anatole, that stupid child
They’ll lock him up for years
For Anatole is a married man!

Marya D.:
Married? He’s married?

Pierre:
Yes

Marya D.:
Oh wait ’til I tell her

Pierre:
Poor Andrey

Marya D.:
And when Andrey comes home
He will challenge Anatole to a duel
And get himself killed
And all will be ruined

You must go see your brother-in-law
And tell him that he must leave Moscow
And not dare to let me set my eyes on him again

Pierre:
At once
