Текст песни Prima Donna - Phantom Of The Opera Original London Cast

MEG, RAOUL
Christine must be protected!
CARLOTTA
Zero, fortunata! Non ancor abbandonata!
ANDRE, FIRMIN
You'd never get away with all this in a play,
But if it's loudly sung and in a foreign tongue
It's just the sort of story audiences adore,
In fact a perfect opera!

ANDRE, FIRMIN
Prima donna the world is at your feet!
A nation waits, and how it hates to be cheated
The stress that falls upon a famous prima donna!
Terrible diseases, coughs and colds and sneezes!
Still, the dryest throat will reach
The highest note, in search of perfect opera!

MEG, GIRY
Then I fear the outcome
RAOUL
Christine plays the Pageboy,
Carlotta plays the Countess
GIRY
Should you dare to
MEG
When you once again

ALL
Light up the stage with that age old rapport!
Sing, prima donna, once more!
PHANTOM'S VOICE
So, it is to be war between us!
If these demands are not met,
A disaster beyond your imagination will occur!
ALL
Once more!
