Nellie and kids:

Dites-moi

Pourquoi

La vie est belle,

Dies-moi

Pourquoi--



Emile:

La vie est gai,

Dites-moi

Pourquoi,

Chere Mad'moiselle,

Est-ce que

Parce que

Vous m'aimez?



Nellie:

Born on the opposite sides of the sea,

We are as diff'rent as people can be.



Emile:

It's true



Nellie:

And yet you want to marry me.



Emile:

I do!



Nellie:

I've known a few short weeks and yet

Somehow you made my heart forget

All other men I have ever met of view, but you...



Emile:

Some enchanted evening

When you find your true love,

When you feel her call you

Across a crowded room,

Then fly to her side,

And make her your own

For all through your life you

May dream all alone.



Nellie:

Once you have found her,

Never let her go.



Emile:

Once you have found her,

Never let her go
