Turkish Delight the Opera - Tango // My Heart Bleeds
Silje Lervik Aarflot and Adam McNab perform the sexy tango sequence from Turkish Delight the Opera - a new musical by Giles Howe and Katy Lipson. The songs are called 'Can We Go Dancing' and 'My Heart Bleeds'. This video was recorded live at the Rosemary Branch Theatre, Islingon, London in August 2008.
SONG: CAN WE GO DANCING?
The Brit hides behind some bushes. The Turk and the British Woman are eating a picnic.
Woman Can we go dancing?
Turk I'll take you out tonight!
Let me spin you around
Just let me spin you around
I'll take you dancing
We will hit the town tonight
Woman Where did you learn to tango like that?
Turk Never you mind about that!
Both Just let me spin you around
And let me spin you around
We'll hit the town and have the best night of our lives
They dance a tango
Just let me spin you around
Just let me spin you around
We'll hit the town
And we'll go dancing tonight!
SONG: MY HEART BLEEDS
Woman I'm a simple person in comparison to you
I think it goes without saying that you have secrets to hide
It only adds to your intrigue...
When I'm without you my heart bleeds!
Woman Opposites attract, I hear, and that's exactly what I fear
Turk I'm a simple person in comparison to you, I think it
Woman I'm a good girl, I am!
Turk ...goes without saying that you have secrets to hide
Both I'll be sorry to see you leave
Turk Yes, I will
Both When I'm without you my heart bleeds!
Woman Mis'rable realities and melancholic atmospheres
Turk Sinister dimensions and an overwhelming grief enclose me
Woman When I am back in England and you're not around
Turk I miss you when you're not here
Woman Lonely's not how I want to feel
Turk Don't
Both Ask me to marry you, please!!
