Antony (spoken)
Mam, could あなた tell me who’s house this is?
Beggar Woman (spoken)
That? That's the great Judge Turpin's house, that is.
Antony (spoken)
And the young lady who resides there?
Beggar Woman (spoken)
Oh her? That' Johanna, his pretty little ward...
Keeps her snug he does. All locked up.
So don't あなた go trespassin' there または it’s a good whipping for you
または any other young man with mischief on his mind!
(sung)
How would ya like a little muff dear
A little jig jig. A little bounce around the bush.
Wouldja like to push me parsley? It looks to me dear that あなた got plenty there to push.
Alms! Alms! For a desperate woman!

Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it あなた sing?
How can あなた jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can あなた remain
staring at the rain
maddened によって the stars?
How is it あなた sing
anything?
How is it あなた sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it あなた sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing または merely aloaming?
Are あなた discussing?
または fussing?
または simply dreaming?
Are あなた crowing?
Are あなた screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
歌う to be sold?
Have あなた decided it's safer in cages
歌う when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, あなた know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.
