Finale Act 1.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

[Katinka] Goodnight!
About love's sweet retreat,
and guide to Cupid's feet.

Ah! may love's fair dreams be sweet!
In Hymen's Hall, in Hymen's Hall,
May love's fair dreams be sweet!

Goodnight! Goodnight!
Good night!

[Ivan] And now a toast to Boris
Happy owner of Heaven's fairest star!
To Boris! To Boris!

[Boris] I thank you, friends, both new and old,
for wishes so benign,

I only hope that soon you'll hold
the bliss that now is mine.

And as I spill this liquid fire,
a gift to gods above,
May love.

I thank you friends, both new and old,
for wishes so benign,

I only hope that soon you'll hold
the bliss that now is mine.

and as I spill this liquid fire,
a gift to gods above,

may they pour blessings and inspire
my heart's mate with true love.

[Katinka] Jewels of gold,
diadems old,
for they mar a fairer beauty,

now to unfold,
now to unfold,

no one can paint the lilies white,
no gems can make my charms seem bright.

My blushes hide!
Oh, that I might these glowing blushes hide!

No! no!
No! No! No! No!

Yes, but I'm freezing
while you are teasing!

Turn out the light!
I wish you goodnight!

[Chorus] Long life of bliss they'll live, with blessings,
that Heav'n may give, and peace.

And on this happy new made home,
may never shade
of shame, or sorrow or trouble come.

So once again with song and anthem,
we greet the bride!

and the lucky man,
who walks by her side!

May the bloom of love abide;
their love abide!

[Varenka] Aah!
believe me!

no time for him is slow time,
it's always hustle, rustle, bustle, tussle,

hustle, rustle, bustle, in a hurry!
Aah!

Must not hesitate,
or he will be late,

He will not forget we met!
So long!
Goodbye!
