This song occurs early in the opera, as Candide and Cunegonde are revealed to have quite different views on what a happy marriage will look like.
[CANDIDE]
Soon, when we feel we can afford it
We'll build a modest little farm
[CUNEGONDE]
We'll buy a yacht and live aboard it
Rolling in luxury and stylish charm
[CANDIDE]
Cows and chickens
[CUNEGONDE]
Social whirls
[CANDIDE]
Peas and cabbage
[CUNEGONDE]
Ropes of pearls
[CANDIDE]
Soon there'll be little ones beside us
We'll have a sweet Westphalian home
[CUNEGONDE]
Somehow we'll grow as rich as Midas
We'll live in Paris when we're not in Rome
[CANDIDE]
Smiling babies
[CUNEGONDE]
Marble halls
[CANDIDE]
Sunday picnics
[CUNEGONDE]
Costume balls
Oh, won't my robes of silk and satin
Be chic! I'll have all that I desire
[CANDIDE]
Pangloss will tutor us in Latin
And Greek, while we sit before the fire
[CUNEGONDE]
Glowing rubies
[CANDIDE]
Glowing logs
[CUNEGONDE]
Faithful servants
[CANDIDE]
Faithful dogs
[CUNEGONDE]
We'll round the world enjoying high life
All bubbly pink champagne and gold
[CANDIDE]
We'll lead a rustic and a shy life
Feeding the pigs and sweetly growing old
[CUNEGONDE]
Breast of peacock
[CANDIDE]
Apple pie
[CUNEGONDE]
I love marriage
[CANDIDE]
So do I
[CUNEGONDE]
Oh, happy pair!
Oh, happy we!
It's very rare
How we agree!
[CUNEGONDE & CANDIDE]
Oh, happy pair!
Oh, happy we!
It's very rare
How we agree!
Oh, happy pair!
Oh, happy we!
It's very rare
How we agree!
Oh, Happy We was written by Richard Wilbur & Leonard Bernstein.
Oh, Happy We was produced by Hans Weber.
