South Pacific soundtrack – Finale lyrics

Nellie and kids:
Dites-moi
Pourquoi
La vie est belle,
Dites-moi
Pourquoi--

Emile:
La vie est gai,
Dites-moi
Pourquoi,
Chere Mad'moiselle,
Est-ce que
Parce que
Vous m'aimez?

Nellie:
Born on the opposite sides of a sea,
We are as diff'rent as people can be.

Emile:
It's true.

Nellie:
And yet you want to marry me.

Emile:
I do!

Nellie:
I've known you a few short weeks and yet
Somehow you've made my heart forget
All other men I have ever met but you, but you...

Emile:
Who can explain it? Who can tell you why?

Nellie:
Fools give you reasons.

Emile:
Wise men never try.
Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love,
When you feel her call you
Across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side,
And make her your own
Or all through your life you
May live all alone.

Nellie:
Once you have found her,
Never let her go.

Emile:
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!
