Act II: Aria: What do you want? - John Fryatt/Noel Mangin/Bath Festival Orchestra
Lyrics by:Christoph Friedrich Bretzner
Composed by:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
What do you want
I just wanted to drink your health
That's all
Drink my health
Why
Huh
Why are you so cheerful
Well it's no good being an old kill-joy and cheerfulness runs in the family
Besides wine always helps to keep you happy and optimistic
You know your father Mahomet made a terrible mistake when he forbade wine
Ah
It's poison
Oh you're always talking about poison and plots and stabs in the back
Come on be friendly have a drink
Mahomet would never allow it
Mahomet's asleep
And in any case he has much more important things to bother about than you
Well I don't know what wine is it
Cyprus
Cyprus
Hum that's a very good wine indeed
Or so I've been told
There you are
Taste it
Well there's no harm in that I suppose
Oh don't sip it drink it off or you won't get the full effect
Oh
Oh
Oh
No wonder it's forbidden
Have some more
Oh no no
Well I suppose
Y'know you and I are going to be good friends
Osmin
There's nothing like wine for creating a brotherly feeling
It seems the Prophet did make a slight mistake in forbidding this
Perhaps if we drink to the Prophet's health he won't be too annoyed
Oh no
It's Bacchus we must drink to brother
Osmin
All right I don't mind whom we drink to
