Lyrics The Abduction - 'The Great Comet' Original Cast Ensemble

ANATOLE
Everyone raise a glass! Whoa!

Well, comrades
We've had our fun
Lived, laughed and loved
Friends of my youth,
When shall we meet again?
I'm going abroad

Goodbye my gypsy lovers
All my revels here are over
Well goodbye, Matryosha
Kiss me one last time, whoa
Remember me to Steshka
There, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Wish me luck my gypsy lovers
Now goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

ALL
Goodbye my gypsy lovers
All my revels here are over
Well goodbye, Matryosha
Kiss me one last time, whoa
Remember me to Steshka
There, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Wish me luck my gypsy lovers
Now goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Hurrah!
Let's go! Let's go!

(They start to leave.)

ANATOLE
No, wait, wait, wait!
First we have to sit down!

It's a Russian custom

All right

(They start to leave)

DOLOKHOV
Wait, wait, wait!

I have heard what elopements are like
She'll rush out more dead than alive
If you delay at all, there'll be tears and 'Papa' and 'Mama'
And she's frozen in a minute and must go back

ALL

BALAGA
Let's get outta here!
Whoa! Giddyup, now! Whoa! Whoa!

ALL
Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey ho Balaga
Hey hey Balaga

Hey Balaga
Ho Balaga
Hey hey ho Balaga
Hey hey Balaga

MARYA D.
You will not enter my house, scoundrel!

DOLOKHOV
Anatole, come back!
Betrayed! Betrayed!
Betrayed, Anatole!
Come back!
Betrayed! Betrayed! Betrayed!
