[CLARA]
I'm so happy
I'm afraid I'll die
Here in your arms
What would you do
If I died
Like this
Right now
Here in your arms?
That we ever should have met
Is a miracle
[GIORGIO]
No, inevitable—
[CLARA]
Then inevitable, yes
But I confess
It was the look—
[GIORGIO]
The look?
[CLARA]
The sadness in your eyes
That day
When we glanced
At each other in the park
[GIORGIO]
We were both unhappy
[CLARA]
Unhappiness can be seductive
[GIORGIO]
You pitied me
[BOTH]
How quickly pity leads to love
[CLARA]
All this happiness
Merely from a glance in the park
So much happiness
So much love
[GIORGIO]
I thought I knew what love was
[CLARA]
I wish we might have met so much sooner
I could have given you—
[GIORGIO]
I thought I knew what love was
[CLARA]
—My youth
[GIORGIO]
I thought I knew how much I could feel
[CLARA]
All the time we lost...
[GIORGIO]
I didn't know what love was
[CLARA]
I've never known what love was
[GIORGIO]
But now—
[CLARA]
And now—
[BOTH]
— I do
It's what I feel with you
The happiness I feel with you
[CLARA]
So much happiness
Happening by chance in a park
Surely, this is happiness
No one else has ever felt before!
[GIORGIO]
You are so beautiful...
Not by chance
By necessity
By the sadness that we saw in each other.
[BOTH]
Just another love story
That's what they would claim
Another simple love story
Aren't all of them the same?
[CLARA]
No, but this is more
We feel more!
[BOTH]
This is so much more!
Like every other love story
Some say happiness
Comes and goes
Then this happiness
Is a kind of happiness
No one really knows
[GIORGIO]
I thought I knew what love was
[CLARA]
I'd only heard what love was
[GIORGIO]
I thought it was no more than a name for yearning
[CLARA]
I thought it was what kindness became
[GIORGIO]
I'm learning
[CLARA]
I thought where there was love there was shame
[GIORGIO]
That with you
[CLARA]
But with you
[BOTH]
There's just happiness
[CLARA]
Endless happiness...
(spoken)
What?
[GIORGIO, spoken]
I've been transferred to the Fourth Brigade
Oh, Clara, please don't look so sad
[CLARA, spoken]
You're the one that makes me happy
[GIORGIO]
God, you are so beautiful
I love to see you in the light
Clear and beautiful, memorize
Every inch
Every part of you
To take with me
[CLARA, spoken]
Giorgio...
[GIORGIO]
Your feet so soft
As if they'd never touched the ground
[CLARA, spoken]
I must go...
[GIORGIO]
Your skin so white, so pure, so delicate
Your smell so sweet, your breathe so warm
I will summon you in my mind
I'm painting you indelibly on my mind
[CLARA]
Let me go
[GIORGIO]
We must fill every moment
[CLARA]
All this happiness ended by a word in the dark
[GIORGIO]
Oh my love, oh my darling
[CLARA]
So much happiness wasn't meant to last
[GIORGIO]
I am here
I am with you
I am yours
[CLARA]
I never knew what love was
[GIORGIO]
Your skin
Your silken hair
Your breasts, your lips
I want you every minute of my life
I will always be here
[CLARA]
I always thought I didn't deserve it
I didn't know what love was
I don't know how I'll live when you're gone!
[CLARA]
I don't know how I'll live
Giorgio!
Don't leave me
