That's it!

That's it

That's it.

It's wonderful

And where does it all happen

all that this music expresses?

And how is it a man can reach such ecstasy,

and cannot keep it?

Yes, it's most original. In fact

Not original but the real thing!

It's really simple, except the rhythm

Oh, that's good.

I wanted to speak to you alone.

What about?

I have come from your home.

Your wife has entrusted me

with this letter, and besides

Well, now, you friends have a rest.

I say, Karenin, of course you know

what is in this letter?

I know and I want to say

Wait, wait a bit!

Please don't imagine that I am drunk

and my words irresponsible.

I mean, that I am irresponsible!

I am drunk, but in this matter

I see quite clearly.

Well, what were you commissioned to say?

I was commissioned to find you

and to tell you

that she is waiting for you.

She asks you to forget everything

and come back.

Still, why you?

Yelisaveta Andreyevna sent for me,

and asked me

So

But not so much in your wife's name,

as for myself

I ask you, come home!

You are a better man than I.

What nonsense! It is easy enough

to be better I am a scoundrel.

And you are a good yes, a good man.

And that is the very reason

why I won't alter my decision.

No! Not on that account either

but simply because I can't and won't

How could I return?

Let us go to my rooms now.

I'll tell her that you will return,

and tomorrow

And tomorrow, what?

I shall still be I,

and she'll be she.

It's best to have the tooth out

at one go.

Didn't I say that if I broke my word

she was to throw me over?

Well, I have broken it,

and that's the end of it.

For you, but not for her!

It is strange that you'd be so anxious

that our union should not be broken.

Listen Just hear her sing!

An ovation, eh?

An ovation! Come

An ovation:

"Victor, my Lord, son of Mikhael"!

Well, bottoms up, Gov, bottom up

How much shall I give them?

Well, give them twenty-five roubles.

Splendid! And now, "The Flax!"

Now, let's have "The Flax"!

Now "The Flax", and then finish up.

Karenin's bunked!

Bunked off Well, devil take him!

Well

Oh, Masha, Masha!

How you do turn me inside-out!

And how about what I asked you for?

What?

Money? Here, take it!

Who can make it out?

She opens heaven for me, and then

asks for money to buy scents with!

Why, you don't in the least

understand what you're doing!

Not understand indeed!

When I'm in love, I try to please my man,

and sing all the better.

Kiss me.

Do you love me?

Looks like it!

But I'm married,

and your choir won't allow it

This is good! Isn't it?

Of course, it's good

we've jolly visitors, and are all merry.

Ah, don't!

Never go below the chin!
