Dave Malloy, Josh Groban, Grace McLean - A Call to Pierre lyrics

(A servant hands a letter to Pierre)

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
