Laurel & Hardy - Fra Diavolo - The Maquis Big Aria

"Proudly and wide my standard flies,
O'r daring hearts, a noble band!
All own my sway; whilst for supplies,
Each trav'ller's wealth I freely command!

Now a banker I stop:
'Your gold, your gold, your gold, your gold!'
And now a lord is brought:
'Your gold, your gold, your gold, your gold!'
A lawyer next is caught:
'Let justice be done,
Restore your plunder, even threefold!'
Now a pilgrim before me's led:
'I have no gold, I have no bread!'
'Here are both for you, friend,
Peace your footsteps attend!'
So, so swift run the sands of time!

Then, since life glides so fast away,
Let's enjoy it while yet we may!
For fate, so kind today,
Perhaps tomorrow may betray!
As new dangers our steps surround,
Every moment may be our last,
Then, with new pleasures crown'd
Be ev'ry moment gaily pass'd!

O, what joys divine
Does the brigand's station combine?
Still gay and at ease
Just as a king I do as I please.
I plunder, rob, take people's lives
Bear off both husbands and their wives
And oft their hearts to beat I've made
The last with love, the first with dread
One trembling bows with hat in hand
The other smiles and says: 'Dear brigand.'

Then, since life glides so fast away,
Let's enjoy it while yet we may!
For fate, so kind today,
Perhaps tomorrow may betray!
But as new dangers our steps surround,
Each moment may be our last,
Then, with new pleasures crown'd
Be ev'ry moment gaily pass'd!"

Good scene from Fra Diavolo/Bogus Bandits/The Devil's Brother by Laurel and Hardy from 1934. Marquis de San Marco played by Dennis King.
