olga neuwirth - after the execution of her mother... كلمات الأغنية
[narrator]
after the execution of her mother
elizabeth was declared illegitimate
and hence, cut out of the succession
together with her half_sister mary
because their father henry viii
wanted a son as his successor
wearing a silver breastplate
over a white velvet dress
she addressed _ at the top of her power _
her troops in onе of her most famous speeches:
“i know i have thе body
but of a weak and feeble woman
but i have the heart and stomach of a king
and of a king of england too
and think foul scorn that parma or spain
or any prince of europe
should dare to invade the borders of my realm.”
[male chorus]
orlando was excited, was flushed
but terribly late
[narrator]
he was just in time to sink upon his knees
his head hanging in confusion
such was his shyness that he saw no more of the queen
than her ringed hand in rosewater
it was a memorable hand
[male chorus]
the queen in silver!
[orlando]
an old body that smells like fur kept in camphor
the night, the candles, bright
the silent silent glen, the clanging
of serving men
[queen]
a pair of the finest legs to stand upon
[orlando]
the poor thing, her skin scarred
by smallpox, half bald
[queen & male chorus]
here comes my innocent! come!
he ascended
come!
he ascended…
[orlando]
elizabeth, the great patron of great poets
will she read my poems?
[male choir]
she reads him like a page
[queen & orlando]
eyes, mouth, nose, breast
hips, hands… legs…
legs? strength, grace, romance
folly, poetry, youth…
[angel]
she adores him
[queen]
you are my treasurer, my steward
my officer… bend your knee!
[queen & orlando]
my knee… bend your knee
my knee…
[queen]
the jewel led order of the garter
i will deny you nothing
[orlando]
for the old woman loves me
[angel]
loves him
[queen]
i know a man when i see one
this is my victory
[male chorus]
the queen’s victory
he is the queen’s victory
[queen]
i assign you lands and houses…
i give you everything
[male chorus & orlando]
she made him a great n0bleman
(am i the son of her old age?)
[queen]
orlandooo
i’m so cold
[male chorus]
and then she died
because she was great and she was old
