The Great Fact Check of 1812: No One Else

All quotes used in this post come from Pevear and Volokhonsky's translation of War and Peace. As a refresher, since this song is probably popular enough for this to circulate to newcomers, this is a series where I "fact check" the book-accuracy of the libretto of Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 and explain the context of various lyrics, etc.

This was fun and definitely got me back in my Andrei/Natasha feels. Hope you enjoyed! Check out the rest of the series here:

Prologue, Pierre, Moscow, The Private and Intimate Life of the House, Natasha & Bolkonskys

I don't need gold, don't need silver. Just bread when I'm hungry, fire when I'm cold. Don't need a ring for my finger. Just need a steady hand to hold. Don't promise me fair sky above. Don't promise me kind road below. Just walk with me, my love. Any way the wind blows.

now, why would a man of his own free will go to work all day in the mine, in the mill? why would he trade the sunshine for a couple of nickels and dimes?

I hate when people use the phrase “what have I done” because then sweet jesus what have I done become a thief in the night become a dog on the run have I fallen so far and is the hour so late that nothing remains but the cry of my hate the cries in the dark that nobody hears here where I stand at the turning of the years if there’s another way to go I missed it twenty long years ago my life was a war that could never be won they gave me a number and murdered valjean when they chained me and left me for dead just for stealing a mouthful of bread yet why did I allow that man to touch my soul and teach me love he treated me like any other he gave m
