Pierre & Andrey Song Lyrics

---

(Pierre visits Andrey)

ANDREY
Well, how are you?
Still getting stouter?

PIERRE
There's a new wrinkle
On your forehead old friend

ANDREY
It's good to see you
It's been way too long

PIERRE
My friend, you are in need
Your face is gloomy

ANDREY
No, I am well
There's a war going on

Forgive me for troubling you;
I have received a refusal from Countess Rostova and have heard reports of your brother-in-law having sought her hand, or something of that kind

Here are her letters
Please give them to the Countess

PIERRE
Natasha is ill
She has been at death's door

ANDREY
I much regret her illness

PIERRE
And he smiled like his father
Coldly, maliciously

ANDREY
Well, it doesn't matter

PIERRE
You told me once
A fallen woman should be forgiven

ANDREY
But I didn't say that I could forgive
I can't

Yes, ask her hand again, be magnanimous, and so on?
Yes, that would be very noble
But I can't be that man
If you wish to be my friend
Never speak of that again

Well, goodbye

(Pierre takes the letters to Natasha)
