Leonard Bernstein — Balcony Scene (Tonight) (from West Side Story) lyrics

Lyrics

Maria? Maria!
Shh!
Maria!
Quiet!
Come down.
No!
Maria!
Please! If Bernardo knew.
He’s at the dance! Come down.
He will soon bring Anita home.
Just for a minute?
A minute is not enough.
For an hour then?
I cannot.
Forever!
Shhhh!
Then I’m comin' up!
Maria!
Momentito, papa. It is dangerous.
I’m not one of them.
You are, but to me, you are not. Just as I am one of them.
To me, you’re all that--
Maruca!
Si! Yo vengo, papa.
Maruca?
His pet name for me.
I like him, and he will like me.
No. He is like Bernardo: afraid. Imagine being afraid of you.
You see?
I see you.
See only me.
