Edelweiss

Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me.

Soft and white, clean and bright – you look happy to meet me.

Blossom in snows you may bloom and grow,

Bloom and grow forever.

Edelweiss, edelweiss, bless my Homeland for ever.

(is sung twice)

· Maria: Children want to say good-bye to everybody, but they need a minute or so. Wait for them, please!

· Captain: Miss Maria, can I have a word with you…

· Baroness: George, sweet heart.

(They leave the stage one by one)

· Helga: Just look at my sister: “George, sweet heart”. If I didn’t know my sister well, I would think she really loves him.

· Max: Isn’t that so?

· Helga: Are you kidding? The only person Eliza loves is she herself. And George is… only temporary passion.

· Max: You have low opinion of your sister.

· Helga: You’ve guessed. I must admit the fact: we have similar features, but, of course, I’m younger and more beautiful. Eliza doesn’t hurry to get married.

· Max: And you?

· Helga: Definitely, no. The marriage is not for me. Adventures, and risk are everything I need.

· Max: I see we have related souls.

· Helga: So, why don’t we discuss it here?

· Max: Good idea! Sit, please.

(They sit on the chairs, Maria, captain and baroness do the same and children start their dance)

There’s a sad song that’s coming from the clock in the hall

And the bells with the sticks sing too.

And upstairs ‘n the nursery you can see a little bird

It’s trying hard to say cuckoo – 2

So long, farewell, aufwiedersehen, good night

I hate to go, and leave this pretty side

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tack,

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tack

So long, farewell, aufwiedersehen, adue

Adue, adue – to you and you and you.

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tack,

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tack

So long, farewell, arevuar, aufwiedersehen

I’d like to stay and taste my first champagne…

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tack,…YES?

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tack…NO!!!

So long, farewell, aufwiedersehen, good night,

I leave and here there is a little sign – GOOD BYE

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tack,

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tack

I’d like to go, I cannot say a lie

We are flakes, we are clouds, we think that we can fly

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tack,

Trick-tick-tick-tick-tack

The sun has gone to bed and I see stars…

So long, farewell, aufwiedersehen, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye…

· Captain: Thank you, Maria. The performance was great.

· Maria: Say these words to your children, captain.

· Captain: If you want you can stay with us for supper.

· Max: You can sit next to me.

· Maria: I don’t think my dress suits the occasion.

· Captain: Don’t worry. You could change your dress and we will wait for you. Shall we?

· Baroness: I will help you, dear.

(Everybody leaves the stage except Maria and baroness)

· Maria: It’s so kind of you to help me.

· Baroness: That’s nothing. It is a great joy for me.

· Maria: I’m afraid none of my dresses suits well.

· Baroness: Are you sure? And what about the dress you are wearing? George can’t take his eyes off you.

· Maria: Can’t take his eyes off?!

· Baroness: Well, it is enough, dear. We are women. Why should we pretend as if we don’t notice men pay attention to us?

· Maria: I hope… it is a joke, baroness.

· Baroness: I don’t even try to do that.

· Maria: But I didn’t do anything… special…

· Baroness: And you didn’t have to. Do you know that the best impression is made upon a man by a woman who is head over ears in love with him…

· Maria: I should think a little… alone…

· Baroness: Then think, my dear. I don’t want to change the governess.

(Maria leaves the stage)
