Bess, You Is My Woman Now — текст песни (Ella Fitzgerald)

Porgy:
Bess, you is my woman now,
you is, you is!
An` you mus` laugh an` sing an` dance
for two instead of one.
Want no wrinkle on yo` brow,
Nohow,
Because de sorrow of de past is all done done
Oh, Bess, my Bess!

Bess:
Porgy, I`s yo` woman now,
I is, I is!
An` I ain`t never goin` nowhere `less you shares de fun.
Dere`s no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow,
But I ain`t goin`! You hear me sayin`,
If you ain` goin`, wid you I`m stayin`!

Porgy, I`s yo` woman now!
I`s yours forever -
Mornin` time an` evenin` time an`
summer time an` winter time.

Porgy:
Mornin` time an` evenin` time an`
summer time an` winter time.
Bess, you got yo` man.

Bess, you is my woman now and forever.*
Dis life is jes` begun,
Bess, we two is one
Now an` forever.
Oh, bess, don`t min` dose women.
You got yo` Porgy.
I knows you means it,
I seen it in yo` eyes, Bess.
We`ll go swingin`
Through de years a-singin`.

Bess:
Mornin` time an` evenin` time an`
summer time an` winter time.

Porgy:
Mornin` time an` evenin` time an`
summer time an` winter time.

Bess:
Oh, my Porgy, my man, Porgy.

Porgy: [simultaneously] My bess, my Bess.

Bess: From dis minute I`m tellin` you, I keep dis vow: Porgy, I`s yo`
woman now.

Porgy: [simultaneously]
From dis minute I`m tellin` you, I keep dis vow:
Oh, my Bessie, we`s happy now. We is one now.

*Sung as Bess repeats her part from `Porgy, I`s yo` woman now...`
through `I`s yours forever -`
