Overture List and learn Good morrow, pretty maids For the merriest fellows are we Buon giorno, signorine We're called gondolieri And now to choose our brides My papa, he keeps three horses Thank you, gallant gondolieri From the sunny Spanish shore In the enterprise of martial kind O rapture, when alone together There was a time, a time forever gone I stole the prince, and I brought him here But bless my heart Try we life long Bridegroom and bride When a merry maiden marries Kind sir, you cannot have the heart Then one of us will be a queen For ev'ry one who feels inclined Now, Marco dear, my wishes hear Then away they go to an island fair Oh happiness the very pith in Barataria Rising early in the morning Take a pair of sparkling eyes Here we are, at the risk of our lives Dance a cachucha There lived a king In a contemplative fashion With ducal pomp and ducal pride On the day when I was wedded To help unhappy commoners I am a courtier grave and serious Here is a case unprecedented Now let the loyal lieges gather round This statement we receive Once more gondolieri Disc 1.
