I'm going out of town for a few days, so I'm leaving this to tide you guys
over:
________________________________________________________________ Summery: Gordo's hormones are going nuts (what do you expect from a 14 year old boy?) So he decides to share this news with Lizzie and Miranda:
Gordo as Cherubino in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro (Once again this will be done in English)
Cherubino is a Pageboy who is just starting to discover what love is like. He explains his emotions in 2 Arias. ________________________________________________________________
****Non so più cosa son, cosa faccio****
Sitting one day in Lizzie's room, Gordo decides to burst out into song about how he's feeling:
Gordo: I don't know what I am, what I'm doing,
First I seem to be burning, then freezing,
Every woman makes me change colour,
Every woman I see makes me shake.
Just the words of 'love' and of 'pleasure'
Bring confusion, my breast swells with terror,
Yet I am compelled to speak of love
By a force I cannot explain
I speak of love while waking,
I speak of love while dreaming,
To water, to shadows, to mountains,
To the flowers, the grass and the fountains,
To the echo, to the air, to the winds
Which carry the idle words
Away with them.
And if there is no one to listen,
I speak of love to myself!
Gordo sees the confused looks on Lizzie and Miranda's faces, so he tries again, with a different song:
****Voi che sapete****
Gordo:
Ladies, you know love,
Look into my heart,
See if I'm suffering
From Cupid's dart.
All I experience
I'll tell you true,
I am bewildered,
It's all so new.
I feel affection,
Longing so strange,
Now bringing pleasure,
Now bringing pain.
Freezing one moment,
Than all afire,
Then in a second,
I'm freezing once more.
Something I'm seeking
Outside of me,
I know not who has it
Nor what can it be.
All quite unwittingly
I moan and sigh,
My poor heart races,
I know not why.
I'm never tranquil
By day or night,
And yet this suffering
Brings me delight.
Ladies, you know love,
Look into my heart,
See if I'm suffering
From Cupid's dart.
Lizzie: Gordo, I think you've really lost it this time.
Miranda: Yeah Gordo, go take a cold shower!
Gordo: GIRLS!
