bbc singers - come to florence lyrics

Loading...

[one man]
if you’re bent on viewing
something doing
come to florence!
where is life more active
and attractive
than in florence?

[one woman & two men]
where are people singing
at a swinging
but in florence?

[ensemble]
everything warrants
our singing of florence
so, florence, we’re singing of you
everything warrants
our singing of florence
so, florence, we’re singing of you

[several men]
there’s artistic treasure
none can measurе
here in florencе
[several women]
great is every statue
looking at you
here in florence

[several women & men]
and we’ve gotta lotta
terracotta
here in florence

[ensemble]
praises in torrents
we shower on florence
oh, florence, you always come through!

[women]
in all of italy
no brighter star
we’re singing prettily
right where we are

[men]
don’t mention napoli
venice or rome
florence sings happily:
no place like home
[several women]
if you’re spending ducats
by the buckets
you’re in florence

[several men]
all the girls are busty
life is l+sty
here in florence

[several women]
and did you know that dante
and chianti
came from florence?

[ensemble]
everything warrants
our singing of florence
so, florence, we’re singing of you
everything warrants
our singing of florence
so, florence, we’re singing of you

[narrator, spoken]
as the trial gets under way
defendant maffio has had his say
[ensemble]
hear the drum, hear the drum
beating out his fate
here they come! here they come!

[hangman]
i can hardly wait!

[ensemble]
hear the drum!
here they come!

[maffio]
at this point no angel or devil or genie
can possibly save the neck of cellini

[ensemble]
here they come! time to yell
hail, cellini and farewell!

[apprentices]
our master
has met disaster
our sculptor will sculpt no more
but high up
he’ll find a tie+up
redesigning heaven’s golden door
he will make completer
the portals of saint peter

[models]
the models of florence
disciples of grace
all view with abhorrence
what’s now taking place

[ensemble]
oh, models of florence
your master is through
your tears fall in torrents
but what can you do?
the fatal bell has rung
the trap will soon be sprung

[magistrate, spoken]
benvenuto cellini, have you a final say to say? we allow three minutes.
