Quartet Finale

[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 balancе
Using our talents, my dear

[CAPTAIN]
Go now and save
Montеvideo, 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!

[OLD LADY]
I was depressed and my spirits were failing
All's for the best now because we are sailing, sailing!

[CANDIDE]
Shall my hopes for the first time
Be answered in that New World?
Oh, farewell, Old World, farewell!

[CUNEGONDE]
Farewell, Old World!
Ah, farewell, Old World!

[OLD LADY]
Ah!

[CANDIDE]
Ah!

[CUNEGONDE]
Ah!

[OLD LADY]
Ah!

[CANDIDE]
Ah!

[CAPTAIN]
Ah!

[CANDIDE]
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

[CAPTAIN]
Go now and save
Montevideo, Candide!
Faithful and brave
Go on your way, O Candide!
You must deter
The heathen invader!

[OLD LADY]
Ah, I was in a funk
My confidence was failing
I was feeling sunk
But once again I'm sailing!
Sailing! Sailing!

[CUNEGONDE & WOMEN]
Farewell to the old!
Farewell to the old!
We're bound for the realms of gold!

[CANDIDE & MEN]
Farewell to distress!
Farewell to distress!
All hail to our happiness!

[OLD LADY]
My heart's full of hope!
My heart's full of hope!
I'm sure we can cope, my dear!

[CAPTAIN]
With many a deed
With many a deed!
With many a deed, Candide!
