Here We Are the Musical - The Road 1 (Part 2) Are we not blessed? Lyrics
The song is written by Stephen Sondheim.
MARIANNE:
Face it, are we not blessed!
If it isn't the sun, it's the birdsong
If it isn't the air, it's the view
(CLAUDIA's phone rings.)
I'm completely undone
By the endless abundance of life
Aren't you?
CLAUDIA: (spoken, barking into her phone)
Yes, what?
MARIANNE:
Don't we all feel blessed!
CLAUDIA: (spoken, into phone)
Tell ABC to screw themselves!
MARIANNE:
Blessed with health—
Blessed with friends—
RAFFAEL:
Blessed with Shakespeare—
PAUL:
Teslas—
CLAUDIA:
Honey—
LEO:
Blessed with boobies—
MARIANNE:
Very funny
FRITZ:
Blessed with tons and tons of—
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
We get it, Fritzie
FRITZ: (spoken)

CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Sorry
Remember when she was "Frances"?
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Oh, how I miss those days
PAUL: (spoken, sotto voce to RAFFAEL)
Is there any news from "Abdul"?
RAFFAEL: (spoken, sotto voce to PAUL)
Not now
(CLAUDIA's phone rings.)
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Now what?
PAUL: (spoken)
What's wrong?
MARIANNE: (spoken)
That sky
CLAUDIA: (spoken, into phone)
What now?
PAUL: (spoken)
Are there problems with the shipment?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Could be
CLAUDIA: (spoken, into phone)
Fat chance!
MARIANNE: (spoken)
What luck!
PAUL: (spoken)
What if—?
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Such bliss — !
LEO: (spoken)
Will you relax?
MARIANNE:
Buy this day for me, darling
Buy this perfect day

Let it stay
Just this way
Forever
MARIANNE, PAUL & RAFFAEL:
Yes, buy this day for us, Leo
Buy this perfect day
CLAUDIA: (spoken, into phone)
Hold on
MARIANNE, PAUL, CLAUDIA & RAFFAEL:

Let it stay
Just this way
Forever
CLAUDIA: (spoken, into phone)
Go ahead
MARIANNE: (spoken)
I found you a credenza for your embassy
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Never mind credenzas
MARIANNE: (spoken)
And a vintage Aubusson that's darling
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Darling, I have to have you
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Raffi, what are you saying?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
I'm saying I have to have you
"La vidida ay estada el tidada!"
It's an old Morandan proverb
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Well, it's lovely
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
La vidida—
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Listen, everybody—!
Say it, Raffi
Once again
Listen, people!

Don't you love it?
La vidida ay estada el tidada
PAUL: (spoken)
La vidida ay estada el tidada
MARIANNE, PAUL, CLAUDIA,
LEO & RAFFAEL: (spoken)
La vidida ay estada el tidada!
MARIANNE: (spoken)
It just flows
MARIANNE, PAUL, CLAUDIA,
LEO & RAFFAEL: (spoken)
La vidida ay estada el tidada!
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Meaning what?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
"Life's a tit! Suck it up!"
MARIANNE, PAUL, CLAUDIA,
LEO & RAFFAEL: (spoken)
La vidida ay estada el tidada!
La vidida ay estada el tidada!
La vidida ay estada el tidada!
