ANTONIA |
|
(Don Quixote's niece) |
|
(piously) |
|
I'm only thinking of him, |
|
I'm only thinking of him, |
|
Whatever I may do or say; |
|
I'm only thinking of him! |
|
In my body; it's well known, |
|
There is not one selfish bone... |
|
I'm only thinking and worrying about him! |
|
|
|
I've been, told he's chasing dragons |
|
And I fear it may be true |
|
If my groom should hear about it. |
|
Heaven knows what he will do! |
|
Oh, I deadly love my uncle, |
|
But for what he's done to me, |
|
I would like to take and lock him up |
|
And throw away the key! |
|
But if I do... but if I do... |
|
There is one thing |
|
That I swear will still be true... |
|
|
|
PADRE |
|
I'm only thinking of him; I know I know my dear; |
|
I'm only thinking of him; Of course you are, my dear; |
|
|
|
|
|
I'm only thinking and worrying about him. I understand. |
|

|
HOUSEKEEPER |
|
I'm only thinking of him, |
|
I'm only thinking of him, |
|
Whatever I may do or say, |
|
I'm only thinking of him! |
|
In the very heart of me |
|
There is Christian charity |
|
I'm only thinking and worrying about him! |
|
|
|
Oh, I think he's been too lonely, |
|
Living years without a spouse, |
|
So when he returns |
|
I fear I may have trouble in the house; |
|
For they say he seeks a lady |
|
Who his own true love shall be; |
|
God forbid that in his madness |
|
He should ever think it's me! |
|
If he should try I'll surely die, |
|
And I will grimly |
|
Guard my honor as I cry... |
|
I'm only thinking of him; |
|
I'm only thinking of him; |
|
I'm only thinking and worrying about him. |
|
|
|
ANTONIA |
|
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, |
|
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe. |
|
|
|
PADRE |
|
I know, I know, my dear; |
|
Of course you are, my dear; |
|
I understand. |

HOUSEKEEPER |
|
Woe! |
|
|
|
ANTONIA |
|
Woe! |
|
|
|
PADRE |
|
They re only thinking of him, |
|
They re only thinking of him, |
|
How saintly is their plaintive plea... |
|
They're only thinking of him! |
|
What a comfort, to be sure, |
|
That their motives are so pure... |
|
As they go thinking and worrying about him! |
|
|
|
ANTONIA, HOUSEKEEPER |
|
Woe, woe, woe, woe, woe, etc. |
