- HOUSEKEEPER: spoken
- Padre, on my way here, I was informed by at least ten people...
- ANTONIA: spoken
- Yes, Padre, my uncle is the laughing-stock of the entire neighborhood. But in spite of the humiliation his madness is bringing down upon our heads...
- sung
- I'm only thinking of him.
I'm only thinking of him.
Whatever I may do or say,
I'm only thinking of him.
In my body it's well known,
there is not one selfish bone.
I'm only thinking and worrying about him.- I've been told he's chasing dragons,
and I fear it may be true.
If my groom should hear about it,
heaven knows what he will do.
For I dearly love my uncle,
but for what he's done to me,
I would like to take and lock him up
and throw away the key.
But if I do...
But if I do,
there is one thing that I swear will still be true.
- ANTONIA:
- I'm only thinking of him.
I'm only thinking of him.
I'm only thinking and worrying about him.
- PADRE:
- I know you are, my dear.
Of course, you are, my dear.
I understand.
- HOUSEKEEPER:
- Oh, I think he's been too lonely,
living years without a spouse,
so when he returns I fear
I may have trouble in the house.
For they say he seeks a lady,
how his own true love shall be.
God forbid that in his madness
he should ever think it's me.
If he should try,
I'll surely die,
and I will grimly guard my honor as I cry.
- HOUSEKEEPER:
- I'm only thinking of him.
I'm only thinking of him.
I'm only thinking and worrying about him.
- ANTONIA:
- Woe! Woe! Woe!
- PADRE:
- I know you are, my dear.
Of course, you are, my dear.
I understand.
- HOUSEKEEPER:
- Woe!
- ANTONIA:
- Woe!
- PADRE:
- They're only thinking of him.
They're only thinking of him.
How saintly is their plaintive plea.
They're only thinking of him.
What a comfort to be sure,
that their motives are so pure,
as they go thinking and worrying about...
him!
- ANTONIA & HOUSEKEEPER:
- Woe! Woe! etc.
