lirik lagu maury yeston - the bells of st. sebastian
(during the following music, carla, dressed as a nun, ushers the boys back on stage, where they clasp their hands in prayer. carla moves to sarraghina’s box and prays there, having assumed the posture of a nun; sarraghina moves to carla’s box, sits, and waits.)
[guido]
i remember st. sebastian with a memory most unkind
i can hear the bells i heard when i went there
inside the church
inside my mind
the bells of st. sebastian only ring once in your ears
but if you’re very young when you hеar them
their sound can last
a hundred yеars
[guido and ensemble]
but the music of the ringing
was the music of our singing
when we were singing
kyrie eleison
kyrie eleison
kyrie eleison
each day at lauds
each night at vespers
from every tower
the hour would be told
for those of us at st. sebastian
no longer young
and not yet old
[guido’s mother]
but why did you go to her?
[little guido]
to see what she was like!
[guido]
each day at st. sebastian
in the classroom, we would hear
that devils lurked behind every corner
if you tried to look
they would disappear
the nuns at st. sebastian tried to teach the facts of life
explaining there are two kinds of women
one was a wh0re
one was a wife
[guido and ensemble]
but the music of the ringing
was a different world that opened through our singing
when we were singing
kyrie eleison
kyrie eleison
kyrie eleison
they rang at dawn
they rang at midnight
in tones well~rounded
they sounded down the nave
for all the souls of little boys at st. sebastian
too young to save
kyrie eleison
eleison
christe eleison
eleison
[guido]
you’ve brought such shame on us!
[little guido]
but mama, i didn’t know!
[guido and ensemble]
for lunch at st. sebastian
country cheese and b~ttered bread
[guido]
a prayer we never learned sang in latin
then a midday nap
in a makeshift bed
[guido and ensemble]
then the music of the ringing
then the music of our singing
and we were singing
kyrie eleison
kyrie eleison
kyrie eleison
we should have known
they should have warned us
at st. sebastian
they never spared the rod
but in the music of the bells at st. sebastian
we looked for god
[little guido]
kyrie eleison…
[guido’s mother]
guido, where are you running to?
(little guido has run back to wave at sarraghina. she returns his wave as the curtain falls to end act one.)
