Duet Larisa and Yasha from the operetta The White Accacia after Isaac Dunaevsky

L: - Look, the wind is driving all the clouds…

Ya.: - Well, so what?

L: - It will rain again now.

Ya.: - Yes, perhaps.

L: - So, many things happen

For reasons beyond our control.

Ya.: - Of course, something, even if it is a little,

Since the time the world has existed,

Still depends entirely on God,

Despite the fact that there is no God.

But believe me,

I could do for you

What even God could not do!

You only have to order -

Please!

I am ready to get everything for you -

Please!

I am ready to accept any plan:

To the cinema, to dance, to a restaurant!

Please,

I beg you to give me an answer quickly!

L: - Please!

I: - Just don't say "no"!

L: - Please!

But I must ask you...

Well, at least be a little more modest.

More serious...

I: - More serious? Please!

L: - Calmer!

I: - Calmer? Please!

L: - More dignified!

I: - More dignified? Please!

L: - More respectable!

I: - More respectable? Please!

L: - More serious, calmer, more dignified, more respectable.

I: - Please!

L: - Please!

I: - Please!

I: - Nothing of what was, is in sight.

I am seriously in love for the first time.

L: - Yasha, I don't recognize you.

Ya: - For a reason, in this case,

Depending on you.

L: - I have a fiancé.

Ya: - That's for sure!

L: - He will find out - he will be so worried.

Ya: - I give you my word as a gentleman, Laura,

That I don't care about this!

L: - I don't know what to do, how should I act?

Ya: - You have to approach life philosophically!

I will carry out any order, please!

Do you want me to disappear from sight - please!

So that I can get the moon from the sky,

So that I can climb into the fire for you?

Please,

I beg you to give me an answer quickly!

L: - Please!

Ya: - Just don't say "no"!

L: - Please!

But I have to ask you...

Well, at least be a little more modest.

More serious...

Ya.: - More serious? Please!

L.: - Calmer!

Ya.: - Calmer? Please!

L.: - More dignified!

Ya.: - More dignified? Please!

L.: - More dignified!

Ya.: - More dignified? Please!

L.: - More serious, calmer, more dignified, more dignified.

Ya.: - Please!

L.: - Please!

Ya.: - Please!
