The Joy You Feel

[FRANCA, spoken]
Very handsome, your new fellow. You and I are very much alike I think. You and Fabrizio

[CLARA, spoken]
Like you and Giuseppe

[FRANCA, spoken]
You see? Two pairs of lovers

(sung)
How truly happy you must be
You are the first to set him on his knee
You're the envy of so many girls
And you are the most beautiful so far

The gentle jangle of his voice
No other sound, no smile, no face, no choice
And the joy I know you feel
This is something I remember well, my dear

And on your first anniversary
In the piazza where you met
At first it's, it's only a glance
And then his eyes will set
Upon a girl who's prettier and younger than you
What to do

Enjoy it, you are free
You have time to spare
The bassinet is empty
The nursery is bare
You can spend his money
Then there is no money

(spoken)
You can take a lover, but...

(sung)
He's the one you love
He's the one you love
Isn't he?

Though truly happy, you must beware
For happiness can also scar
For so like me you are
You are...
Beware

[CLARA, spoken]
Thank you?
