TODD - Act 2 "II. A Small Island"

Lovett: Just a small island in the light of sunset – scarlet - in the boundless sea, hidden from anyone’s eyes... The sheet of shore and warm autumn... The wind, whipping around, brings baby talk in short gusts.

Lovett and the Women’s Chorus: How wonderful! What an autumn! How colorful!

The male voice: This is it! This is happiness!

Lovett: The island is uninhabited – and we fly, only we two, and dive in the velvet waves of the peace. Hand, give me your hand – I am afraid for some reason that suddenly something from our past might return.

Lovett and the Women’s Choir: But I believe in a miracle! I believe in a miracle! I believe in happiness!

The male voice: This is it! This is happiness!

Lovett and the Women’s Choir: It feels strange – it feels so light! This is happiness, so difficultly obtained happiness! Silent, light happiness...

The narrator’s voice: But Sweeney is almost insane. He cuts throats to his customers like a butcher does to the cattle, like a baker does to the bread. He cannot stop until he gets to the Judge and avenges his ruined life!
