El Capitan, Act III: “The enemy has begun”

John Philip Sousa, Charles Klein

[SCARAMBA, spoken]
The enemy has begun the attack. That General Herbana is punctual. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Run along, my dear Estrelda. I'll join you in battle in a moment. 

[DON MEDIGUA tiptoes over to the prison window.]

Psst... Psst... Princess, dearest wife. 

[SCARAMBA, spoken]
Capitan, the Spanish army has surrounded our right flank. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
I shall draw my sword. Run back and tell them the hero of the hundred battles is coming to save them. Go!

[SCARAMBA runs off.]

Dear wife! Princess, Pozzo, I'm here to free you. 

[NEVADO, spoken, SPANISH TROOPS]
Capitan, the Spanish Army has surrounded our left flank. 
La la la la la la la la

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken, SPANISH TROOPS]
Beginner's luck. Tell the brave lads on our side that I'll be thеre anon. 
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
Princess!

[POZZO, spoken]
Don Medigua!

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
I'll dеal with you later. 

[PRINCESS, spoken]
Oh, dearest husband, I knew that you would rescue me. 

[SPANISH TROOPS]
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la

[ESTRELDA, spoken]
Nevado, seize this traitor. He is Don Medigua!

[GENERAL HERBANA, spoken]
Where is Don Medigua?

[ESTRELDA, spoken]
There he stands, the coward, the traitor. Oh Papa, and brave Scaramba...

[SCARAMBA, spoken]
But I thought he was El Capitan, and that he was—

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Tut, tut, Scaramba, thinking isn't your strong point. 

[GENERAL HERBANA, spoken]
Have I the honor of addressing Don Medigua?

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Viceroy, hero, husband, father—

[VERRADA, spoken]
And father-in-law. Your Excellency, now that you mention it, and now that the crisis is over... I love your daughter and I want her ha—

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
You want her hand. Well, take her hand and whatever else goes with it. And while I'm at it... Estrelda, Scaramba, here, take each other. And you're both welcome, I'm sure. General, you must spare this luscious creature's father. On one condition, fair Estrelda. 

[ESTRELDA, spoken]
Name it, sir. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
That you will forgive Don Medigua for the shortcomings of El Capitan.
