hand of God! Our cause prospers! It's empty! Holla! Holla! Faster! Faster! Bravo! Bravo! Ah, Brother Vladimir, you don't love me You don't care that I am so alone, that I'm just a poor, abandoned orphan whom no one pities It's not right for the Tsar to fraternize with the landowners and above all not with the Staritskys! It is not for you, Alexei to teach the Tsar his business nor to raise your hand against the Tsar's relations But it was you who taught me to weed them out The Tsar's connections outshine all other connections As the celestial tamarind outshines homely oak Aren't we the new forest growing about you? I don't hack down oaks to make room for wretched aspens Don't touch the Tsar's relations! The ties of blood are sacred! Aren't we who are closest to you bound to you by other blood- blood which has been shed? You're no relation of mine You are my slaves I raised you from the dust to crush the boyar traitors I express my will through you Your function is to serve me, not to teach me how to behave Keep to your place, Basmanovs! You are beginning to catch the boyars' sickness You are beginning to get ideas about rank Would you like to put yourself beside the Tsar? I've sworn never to fraternise with the boyars nor with the landowners I am alone, a poor orphan No one loves or pities me! The guests have assembled In the courtyards of the boyars In the courtyards of the boyars The axes skim the necks of the boyars The axes, the axes Come along! Come along! What happens next? What happens next? Come on, tell us more Come on, tell us more Strike with the axes The gates have split down the middle Down the middle The golden goblets pass from hand to hand From hand to hand Come along. Come along What happens next? What happens next? Come on, tell us more, Come on, tell us more Strike with the axes! Oh, you are wrong, Tsar of all the Russias - you have friends. - I haven't one. -Yes, you have! -Don't lie. - I'm not lying. - Then who is my friend? - Well, me for one. - I don't believe you! I swear it! Don't swear it. Prove it by your actions! I will prove it! And when the guests are parting Having drunk their fill Drunk their fill They set fire to the castle Set fire to the castle Come along. Come along What happens next? What happens next? Come on, tell us more, Come on, tell us more Strike with the axes! What is Archbishop Pimen's man doing amongst the servants? Pimen assigned him to the service of Vladimir Andreyevich You lie... You won't prove anything! I will... I will prove it to you! You sit here celebrating and you don't even know some people want you out of the way - Is that so? - I swear it! And who do they want in my place? You'd never guess! I said to her: who'd want to be Tsar? Plots... executions As for me... I'm just a peaceful man; all I ask of life is to drink and live in peace Indeed, who'd want to be Tsar? The task is a heavy one! That's exactly what I said Why do I want to be Tsar? But she insists Take it... take the crown Take the collar! Take the collar... Take the crown Take it! Take it! Why not? Take it, cousin! Bring the Tsar's regalia! He likes it, this lackey of the Poles! The farce is over Enough of this ungodly revelry! Brothers, let's address ourselves to the Almighty! Let us think upon our last hour! Awake, my soul, Awake Lead us to the cathedral! A Tsar does not draw back The Tsar is always first to enter! Ivan is no more! Good people, look! Ivan is no more! The brute is dead! Russia shall flourish under a boyar Tsar! Vladimir! Holy Mother of God... No! Torture me! Execute me! You'll never make me speak! I won't give anyone away Why are you holding him? It was not the Tsar he killed... only the fool! Let him go And it was not only a fool he killed but the Tsar's worst enemy! My grateful thanks!
