CANDIDE Oh. Is it true? Cunegonde! Cunegonde! Cunegonde! CUNEGONDE Oh. Is it you? Candide! Candide! Can... CANDIDE Oh. Is it true? Cunegonde! Oh my love, dear love! CUNEGONDE Oh. Is it you? Candide! Dear, my love! (They fall into each other's arms.) CANDIDE Dearest, how can this be so? You were dead, you know. You were shot and bayoneted, too. CUNEGONDE That is very true. Ah, but love will find a way. CANDIDE Then what did you do? CUNEGONDE We'll go into that another day. Now let's talk of you. You are looking very well. Weren't you clever, dear, to survive?
CANDIDE I've a sorry tale to tell; I escaped more dead than alive.
CUNEGONDE Love of mine, where did you go?
CANDIDE Oh, I wandered to and fro...
CUNEGONDE Oh, what torture, oh, what pain...
CANDIDE Holland, Portugal and Spain...
CUNEGONDE Ah, what torture...
CANDIDE Holland, Portu...
CUNEGONDE Ah, what torture...
CANDIDE I would do it all again To find you at last! CANDIDE, CUNEGONDE Reunited after so much pain; But the pain is past. We are one again! We are one at last! One again, one at last! (They waltz with abandon around the room.)
