Sheldon Harnick - Chavaleh / Tevye's Denial lyrics

Artist: Sheldon Harnick

album: Fiddler on the Roof (2016 Broadway Cast Recording)


Chava is dead to us!
We will forget her
Go home, Golde

Little bird, little Chavaleh
I don't understand what's happening today
Everything is all a blur
All I can see is a happy child
What a sweet little bird you were
Chavaleh, Chavaleh
Little Bird, Little Chavaleh
You were always such a pretty little thing
Everybody's favorite child
Gentle and kind and affectionate
What a sweet little bird you were
Chavaleh, Chavaleh

Papa, I beg you to accept us!
Accept them?
How can I accept them?
Can I deny everything I believe in?
On the other hand, can I deny my own child?
On the other hand, how can I turn my back on my faith? My people?
If I try to bend that far, I will break!
On the other hand
There is no other hand
No, Chava! No!
(Tradition!) No!
Papa—
No!
(Tradition!) Papa!
No!
(Tradition!) Papa!
NO!
