Songtexte Death in Venice, Op. 88: "Naturally, Signore, I Understand" - John Shirley-Quirk feat. Steuart Bedford, English Chamber Orchestra, Kenneth Bowen, Sir Peter Pears, Ronald Murdock & Michael Bauer
Naturally,
signore,
I
understand
How
regrettable,
unfortunate
We
shall
be
sorry
to
lose
you
But
of
course,
if
the
signore
has
reasons,
then
he
must
go
No
doubt
the
signore
will
return
to
us
in
his
own
good
time
Meanwhile,
our
deepest
respects
and
please
keep
us
in
mind
Arrivederci,
signore
Julio,
The
signore's
baggage
Presto,
presto
It
is
here
The
motorboat
is
waiting
It
is
too
soon
You
allow
too
much
time
I
will
not
be
hurried
I
will
follow
by
gondola
Signore
Yes,
I
must
go,
but
does
it
seem
fresher
this
morning?
Can
the
wind
have
changed?
For
the
last
time,
Tadzio,
it
was
too
brief
Oh,
too
brief
May
God
bless
you
Ah
Shall
I
never
see
these
columns
rise
again?
Never
see
the
marble
brows
upon
each
curving
bridge?
Oh,,
why
did
I
yield
so
quickly
to
my
fears?
There
you
are,
signore!
Just
in
time
You
have
my
baggage?
Gone
on
the
train
to
Como
Gone?
Gone?
To
Como?
That
is
not
where
I'm
going
Signore
You
must
find
it
Get
it
back
Without
it,
I
cannot
go
You
understand?
I
cannot
go
I
shall
return
to
the
hotel
Arrange
for
the
baggage
to
be
sent
back
there
Very
good,
signore
In
the
twinkling
of
an
eye,
it
shall
be
back
Gondaliere,
to
the
leado
at
once
I
am
become
like
one
of
my
early
heroes,
passive
in
the
face
of
fate
What
do
I
really
want?
First,
I
am
grief-stricken
but
must
go
Because
of
the
danger
to
my
health
Then
I
am
furious
because
I
am
forced
to
return
But
secretly,
I
rejoice,
vacillating,
irresolute,
absurd
Ah
The
whole
experience
has
been
disruptive
To
my
thoughts
and
to
my
work
Yet
in
spite
of
it
I
feel
my
spirits
rise
Often
what
is
called
disruptive
is
not
directed
Against
life,
but
is
invigorating
and
renewal
A
thousand
apologies
to
the
signore
I
would
not
have
discommoded
him
for
the
world
And
now
the
signore
will
find
the
wind
Is
blowing
from
the
healthier
quarter
The
wind
blows
sweetly
from
the
east
Now
the
signore
can
holiday
at
ease
He
can
enjoy
what
he
thought
to
have
left
forever
Ah,
Tadzio
The
charming
Tadzio
That's
what
it
was
That's
what
made
it
hard
to
leave
So
be
it
So
be
it
