[Dave Malloy, Josh Groban, Grace McLean - A Call to Pierre lyrics]
A letter from Marya Dmitryevna asking you
To come and visit her
On a matter of great importance
Relating to Andrey Bolkonsky
And his betrothed
What? What can they want with me?
(He arrives at Marya D’s)
Pierre, old friend I’m sorry it’s late
I’m sorry I haven’t seen you about
Where have you been? Where have you been?
I have been studying
Pierre old friend, we need your help
Pierre old friend: the family name!
We need your help we need your help
There’s ruin at the door
Marya?
Natasha has let down the family
What?
Natasha has broken with Andrey
What?
Natasha has tried to elope
What?
Natasha and Anatole Kuragin!
What?!
We need your help we need your help
There’s ruin at the door
Natasha, that charming girl?
I can’t believe my ears
So I am not the only man
Chained to a bad woman
And Anatole, that stupid child
They’ll lock him up for years
For Anatole is a married man!
Married? He’s married?
Yes
Oh wait ’til I tell her
PIERRE poor Andrey
And when Andrey comes home
He will challenge Anatole to a duel
And get himself killed
And all will be ruined
You must go see your brother-in law
And tell him that he must leave Moscow
And not dare to let me set
My eyes on him again
At once
