Raffaela [speaking]:
Oh, Elizaveta. It is not pennies I have saved
For twenty-two years, I have invested everything you paid me
Waiting for the day when time would run out, and you would have no one to turn to but me. Twenty-two years
Raffaela [singing]:
For twenty-two years
I have kept secrets from you
Twenty-two years, I've protected you
From the harshness of life
Always feeling for you
A kind of love
Dear one
Come where the pines grow
Come, come, and we'll find
A villa on a hill
In Positano
Someday, high in our arbor
Far, far from tonight
We'll gaze in delight
Down on the harbor
When those fabled feet
Dance down that ancient street
Oh, the thought of that
Is sweet, sweet
Far from Berlin or Milano
I know we will find
True peace of mind
A peace that will fill
Our villa on a hill
In Positano
