PREVIEW 2nd ACT

[Casear]
We haven´t seen each other
for quite a while, my dear,
I have been busy fighting wars,
a soldiers life is tough,
but one thing must be clear:
I never messed around with whores.

I´ve always been faithful to you, my dear,
I hope you´ve been faithful to me, too.
So please, for a moment: lend me your ear
Cause I want to talk to you:

My beautiful wife, come and dance with me,
Just follow my step, take my hand,
Together we´ll dance into heaven, you´ll see,
unless you’ve got plans with some “friend.”

[Cleopatra]
I was longing for you, while you were away,
I promise - today I´m all yours,
I mean I am yours - EVERY day !
every day and every night - of course.

Come on, brave soldier, and dance with me,
we´ll waltz through fire and flame,
forget all the rumors — just hold me tight,
It’s only YOUR heart, that I claim.

[Casear]
Oh Cleo, my wife, I enjoy to be
with you and Caesarion our son,
he reminds me a lot of Mark Anthony,
we fought in many battles and won.

[Cleopatra]
Forget about Mark, he means nothing to me,
for I belong only to you,
you conquered my heart, what a victory.

[she turns to the audience, talking to herself]
It´s so sad, I have to lie to you ...

[Casear]
Come on my love, won´t you dance with me,
one LAST time our bodies embrace,
Yes, maybe it really will be the last time,
that I see your beautiful face.

[Both]
So let us enjoy our last dance,
Yes, let us enjoy our last dance,
and put an end to this romance !
