Candide the Musical - Quartet Finale Lyrics
CANDIDE:
Once again we must be gone
Moving onward to the New World!
Shall our hopes be answered there?
Is that land so good and fair?
CUNEGONDE:
In that land across the sea,
When our quest at last is ended,
Then all our fortunes shall be mended:
We shall dwell there,
Free of every care, happy we!
OLD LADY:
Stripped though we are
Of our possessions, my dear,
We shall go far
Through our professions, my dear.
If this New World
Has plenty of gallants,
We'll right our balance
Using our talents, my dear.
CAPTAIN:
Go now and save
Montevideo, Candide!
Faithful and brave,
Go on your way, O Candide!
You must deter
The heathen invader,
Drive out the raider,
Like a crusader, Candide.
OLD LADY:
I was in a funk,
My confidence was failing,
I was feeling sunk,
But once again I'm sailing!
CAPTAIN:
Yes, go, Candide.
Do as I say: On your way, O Candide!
Ah!
CUNEGONDE:
Farewell, Old World!
Ah!
OLD LADY:
I was depressed and my spirits were failing,
All's for the best now because we are sailing!
Ah!
CANDIDE:
Shall my hopes for the first time
Be answered in that New World?
Oh, farewell, Old World, farewell!
Ah!
In that land across the sea,
When our quest at last is ended
All our fortunes shall be mended.
CUNEGONDE:
Though we're deprived
Of our possessions, my dear,
We have survived
Through our professions, my dear.
If the New World
Has plenty of gallants...
OLD LADY:
I was in a funk,
My confidence was failing,
I was feeling sunk,
But once again I'm sailing!
CAPTAIN:
Go now and save
Montevideo, Candide!
Faithful and brave,
Go on your way, O Candide!
You must deter
The heathen invader!
CUNEGONDE, WOMEN:
Farewell to the Old!
We're bound for the realms of Gold!
OLD LADY:
My heart's full of hope,
I'm sure we can cope, my dear!
CANDIDE, MEN:
Farewell to distress!
All hail to our happiness!
CAPTAIN:
With many a deed, Candide!
