Natasha, Pierre And The Great Comet Of 1812 (Original Cast Recording)
The Great Comet Of 1812
Where to now?
Where can I go now?
Not to the club
Not to pay calls
Mankind seems so pitiful
So poor
Compared to that softened, grateful last glance
She gave me through her tears
It was clear and cold
Above the dirty streets, above the black roofs
Stretched a dark starry sky
This vast firmament
Open to my eyes
Wet with tears
And there in the middle
Above Prechistensky Boulevard
Surrounded and sprinkled on all sides by stars
Shines the great Comet of 1812
The brilliant Comet of 1812
The comet said to portend
Untold horrors, and the end of the world
But for me,
The comet brings no fear
No, I gaze joyfully
And this bright star
Having traced its parabola
With inexpressible speed
Through immeasurable space
Seems suddenly to have stopped
Like an arrow piercing the Earth
Stopped for me
It seems to me
That this comet feels me
Feels my softened and uplifted soul
And my newly melted heart
Now blossoming
Into a new life
Where can I go now?
Not to the club
Not to pay calls
Mankind seems so pitiful
So poor
Compared to that softened, grateful last glance
She gave me through her tears
It was clear and cold
Above the dirty streets, above the black roofs
Stretched a dark starry sky
This vast firmament
Open to my eyes
Wet with tears
And there in the middle
Above Prechistensky Boulevard
Surrounded and sprinkled on all sides by stars
Shines the great Comet of 1812
The brilliant Comet of 1812
The comet said to portend
Untold horrors, and the end of the world
But for me,
The comet brings no fear
No, I gaze joyfully
And this bright star
Having traced its parabola
With inexpressible speed
Through immeasurable space
Seems suddenly to have stopped
Like an arrow piercing the Earth
Stopped for me
It seems to me
That this comet feels me
Feels my softened and uplifted soul
And my newly melted heart
Now blossoming
Into a new life
