NATASHA & BOLKONSKYS LYRICS
[SERVANT]
May I present the Countess
Natalya Rostova

[MARY]
Oh
Oh, hello
Wont you come in?

[NATASHA]
Hello

(Natasha and Mary awkwardly move to a table in silence.)

[MARY]
And from the first glance I do not like Natasha
Too fashionably dressed
Frivolous and vain
Her beauty, youth, and happiness
My brothers love for her

And my father

[BOLKONSKY]
I do not wish to see her!

[MARY]
I know at any moment he might indulge in some freak

[NATASHA]
Im sorry the Prince is still ailing

[BOLKONSKY]
Songstress!
[NATASHA]
I am not afraid of anyone

But such hesitation

Such unnatural manners

And from the first glance I do not like Princess Mary

Too plain and affected
Insolent and dry
I shrink into myself
Assume an offhand air

[MARY]
Which alienates me still more

[NATASHA & MARY]

Constrained and strained
Constrained and strained
Constrained and strained
Irksome
Irksome

(The Prince enters in his underthings.)

[BOLKONSKY]
Oh!

[MARY]
Papa!

[BOLKONSKY]
Oh, so this is Natasha
Not much to look at
Says the mean old man in his underthings
I never dress for children or peasants
Says the mean old man in his underthings

[MARY]
And he looked at her once
Head to toe
And left muttering

[NATASHA]
I must take my leave

[MARY]
Please wait

Dear Natalie
I want you to know how glad I am my brother has found happiness

[NATASHA]
Is that the truth?
I think it is not convenient to speak of that now
Dear Princess

[MARY]
She said
With such dignity and coldness
[NATASHA]
What have I said, what have I done?
Crying like a child
Oh, they were so awful!
Oh, it all hurts so terribly
Andrey
Where are you?

About Natasha & Bolkonskys 2 contributors
Natasha arrives at the Bolkonskys' home.

Their relationship starts off on a poor note: Mary finds Natasha vain and Natasha
finds Mary plain. The Prince Bolkonsky then enters, dressed in his underthings, and
expresses his distaste for Natasha. Both Mary and Natasha are horrified, and
Natasha moves to make her leave. Though Mary attempts to apologize, Natasha exits
coldly before breaking down.
