The Abduction from the Seraglio, K. 384, Act II: O Englishmen you must be crazy (Osmin, Blonda)

Lyrics: Joan Cross/Anne Wood/Gottlieb Stephanie/Hugh Mills Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart OSMIN: O Englishmen you must be crazy, such freedom to grant to your women. BLONDA: The woman who’s born into freedom, will never surrender to slav’ry. OSMIN / BLONDA: Oh how we’d be scorned and derided / And though you may put her in prison if ever we had such ideas. / she still remains free as a queen. O Englishmen! O Englishmen! / The woman who’s born into freedom, O Englishmen you must be crazy, / will never surrender to slav’ry. Oh how we’d be scorned and derided / And though you may put her in prison if ever we had such ideas. / she still remains free as a queen. Oh how we’d be scorned and derided / And though you may put her in prison if ever we had such ideas. / she still remains free as a queen.
