[Anatole:]
I have long wished to have this happiness
Ever since the Naryshkins' ball
Where I had the well-remembered pleasure of seeing you
How do you like the performance?
Last week Semenova fell down on the stage

[Natasha:]
He is sensible and simple
Bold and natural
So strange and agreeable
There is nothing formidable
His smile is most naive
Cheerful and good-natured
And he's as handsome up close as at a distance
And he's as handsome up close as at a distance

[Anatole:]
And do you know, Natasha
We are having a costume tournament soon
You ought to come, please come!

[Natasha:]
Oh

[Anatole:]
You ought to come, please come!

[Natasha:]
Oh, I

[Anatole:]
And I never remove my smiling eyes
From your face, your neck, your bare arms
And I never remove my smiling eyes
From your face, your neck, your bare arms

[Natasha:]
I know for certain that he is taken by me
I know for certain that he is enraptured by me
I feel him looking at my shoulders
My face, my neck, my bare arms

[Anatole:]
And I look you in the eye

[Natasha
