gilbert and sullivan - the hour of gladness is dead and gone lyrics

Loading...

[katisha]
the hour of gladness
is dead and gone;
in silent sadness
i live alone!
the hope i cherished
all lifeless lies
and all has perished
all has perished
save love, which never dies!

oh, faithless one, this insult you shall rue
in vain for mercy on your knees you’ll sue!
i’ll tear the mask from your disguising!

[nanki-poo]
now comes the blow!

[katisha]
prepare yourselves for news surprising!

[nanki-poo]
how foil my foe?

[katisha]
no minstrel he, despite bravado!

[yum-yum]
ha! ha! i know!

[katisha]
he is the son of your —

[nanki-poo, yum-yum & chorus]
o ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!

[katisha]
in vain you interrupt with this tornado!
he is the only son of your —

[nanki-poo, yum-yum & chorus]
o ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!

[katisha]
i’ll spoil —

[nanki-poo, yum-yum & chorus]
o ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!

[katisha]
your g-y gambado!
he is the son —

[nanki-poo, yum-yum & chorus]
o ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!

[katisha]
of your —

[nanki-poo, yum-yum & chorus]
o ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!

[katisha]
the son of your —

[nanki-poo, yum-yum & chorus]
o ni! bikkuri shakkuri to! oya! oya!

[katisha]
ye torrents roar
ye tempests howl!
your wrath outpour
with angry growl!
do ye your worst, my vengeance call
shall rise triumphant over all!

[nanki-poo, yum-yum & chorus]
we’ll hear no more
ill-omened owl
to joy we soar
despite your scowl!
the echoes of our festival
shall rise triumphant over all!

[katisha]
prepare for woe
ye haughty lords
at once i go
mikado-wards

[nanki-poo, yum-yum & chorus]
away you go
collect your hordes;
proclaim your woe
in dismal chords;

[yum-yum]
we do not heed their dismal sound

[nanki-poo]
for joy reigns everywhere around

[yum-yum]
we do not heed their dismal sound

[yum-yum & nanki-poo]
for joy reigns everywhere around
the echoes of our festival
shall rise triumphant over all!
shall rise triumphant over all!
triumphant over all!
shall rise triumphant over all!

[chorus]
we’ll hear no more, ill-omened owl
to joy we soar, despite your scowl!
to joy we soar
to joy we soar, despite your scowl!
[katisha]
my wrongs with vengeance shall be crowned!

my wrongs with vengeance shall be crowned!
my wrongs with vengeance shall be crowned! [chorus]

we do not heed their dismal sound
for joy reigns everywhere around!
we do not heed their dismal sound
for joy reigns everywhere around!
we do not heed their dismal sound
for joy reigns everywhere around!
