Valse Duet - 1907 - The Merry Widow

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 24 Jan 2002

[Danilo] Though I say not
what I may not let you hear.
Yet the swaying dance is saying,
Love me, dear!
Ev'ry touch of fingers
tells me what I know,
Says for you, It's true, it's true,
You love me so!

[Sonia] And to the music's chime,
My heart is beating time,
As if to give a sign,
That it would say,
Be mine, be mine!
Though our lips may say no word,
Yet in the heart a voice is heard.
You cannot choose but know
I love you so

[Both] Ev'ry touch of fingers
tells me what I know,
Says for you,
It's true, it's true,
You love me so!
