Eden Espinosa - Paris Lyrics





[ENSEMBLE]
Paris, city of light
City of refugees
Arriving here overnight
The aristocracy

Gone, the past, the plans
Gone, the servants, the lands
Gone with the setting sun
[?] in Paris
And it's time to move on

[TAMARA]
It's the ugliest, beautiful city
I've ever seen

[TADEUSZ]
What did you do to get me out?

[TAMARA, spoken]
Nothing, Tadeusz, I gave them a few jewels

[TADEUSZ]
What did you do to get me out?

[TAMARA, spoken]
And that's the last of it. I sold my last necklace for the rent

[TADEUSZ]
When my father
With his influence
Could do nothing

[TAMARA, spoken]
Can you look for a job today? There's a polish bank on the Rue Vaneau. Your name will mean something there

[TADEUSZ, spoken]
You want me counting people's stinking bank notes?

[ENSEMBLE]
One small room for a family of three
Hot water, a forgotten luxury
Like eating when you're hungry

[TAMARA, spoken]
Perhaps I could get a job!

[TADEUSZ, spoken]
Are you trying to insult me?

[TAMARA, spoken]
Things are different here

[TADEUSZ, spoken]
What if someone sees you? How would that look?

[ENSEMBLE]
Ah
[?] in Paris

[MAN, spoken]
What are your skills?

[TAMARA, spoken]
I- I'm a very charming hostess

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Ugliest city...

[MAN, spoken]
We need cleaners. Overnight shift

[ENSEMBLE]
Ugliest, beautiful city
I've ever seen
Ah

[TAMARA]
Look at these women
Showing their bodies
As though there was no need for shame
It's a warmer climate here
I suppose, no need for so many clothes!

Look at the pastries
Shining like jewels
Look at these colors
A thousand different blues
Look at the women
Rushing by in their high heeled shoes

[ENSEMBLE]
Paris, city of light

[TADEUSZ, overlapping]
What did you do to get me out?

[TAMARA, spoken]
Tadeusz, look around you

[ENSEMBLE]
Arriving here overnight

[TADEUSZ, overlapping]
What did you do to get me out?

[TAMARA, spoken]
Your daughter is hungry!

[ENSEMBLE]
Gone, the centuries
Gone, the life of ease

[TADEUSZ, overlapping]
What did you do?

[TAMARA, spoken]
We need you here with us

[TADEUSZ]
What did you do to get me out?

[ENSEMBLE]
[?] of Paris

[TAMARA, spoken]
I swear to God, Tadeusz, if you don't stop asking me I will tell you


[TAMARA, spoken]
I am hungry, I am awake, can't break down. Can't break. Start again in this dirty city. How can I make it mine? Breeze off the dirty river. The smell of- oils and turpentine

[TAMARA]
Look at these hands
They once were pretty
The hands of a young girl
Waiting to marry

[TAMARA, spoken]
Look at them now. Cracked and bleeding

[TAMARA]
A lady must never get her hands dirty
Not a lady now
Could I be one of these women
Walking fast in the city
Could losing everything
Make you free

[MAN, spoken]
Armistice declared. The Great War is over. Treaty signed, the troops are coming home

[TAMARA]
The century is different
So why shouldn't I be

[MAN, spoken]
Russia remains in bloody civil war

[TAMARA]
Everything is different
All new possibilities

[MAN, spoken]
But at last, there is peace in Europe

[TAMARA]
My God, I've never been so hungry
It. Feels. Good
The city belongs to me
And I belong to her

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Ugliest, beautiful

[TAMARA]
Look at her! Shining, drenched in color
This is where I was meant to be
This beautiful city

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Paris, city of light, city of refugees
Paris, city of light, city of bakeries

[TAMARA]
Ugliest beautiful city

[ENSEMBLE, overlapping]
Paris, city of light, city of refugees
Gone, the past, the plans
Gone, the servants, the lands

[TAMARA]
And I will capture all that it could be
Show the world what I see

[TOGETHER]
Beautiful city
