Judi Dench's The Ad-dressing of Cats but I'm narrating the other cats' thoughts


Lyrics

00:03
OLD DEUTERONOMY: You've heard of several kinds of cats
00:08
And my opinion now is that You should need no interpreter
00:16
To understand our character.
00:20
You've learned enough to take the view That cats are very much like you.
00:28
You've seen us both at work and games, And learnt about our proper names,
00:36
Our habits, and our habitat, But how would you address a cat?
00:49
So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: a cat is not a dog.
01:01
ALL: So first, your memory I'll jog, And say: a cat is not a dog.
01:17
OLD DEUTERONOMY: With cats, some say, one rule is true:
01:22
Don't speak 'til you are spoken to.
01:28
Myself, I do not hold with that.
01:32
I say, you should address a cat.
01:36
But always bear in mind that he Resents familiarity.
01:45
You bow, and, taking off your hat, Address him in this form: Oh Cat!
01:59
ALL: Oh Cat!
02:04
OLD DEUTERONOMY: Before a cat will condescend To treat you as a trusted friend,
02:12
Some little token of esteem Is needed, like a dish of cream
02:19
Or you might now and then supply Some caviar, or Strasbourg pie,
02:26
Some potted grouse, or salmon paste, He's sure to have his personal taste.
02:34
And so in time you'll reach your aim, And call him by his name.
02:46
ALL: A cat's entitled to expect These evidences of respect.
02:56
So this is this, and that is that, And there's how you address a cat.

【妙法蓮華經4】信解品第四/寶鬘覺華vs蓮歌子

Mozart - Queen of the Night (Diana Damrau)

Mozart - Queen of the Night (Diana Damrau) English Translation: The wrath of hell burneth in my bosom Death and despair, Death and despair inflame my soul! If you do not make Sarastro suffer If you do not make Sarastro suffer, Then you shall be my daughter nevermore! Then you shall be my daughter nevermore! You will be disowned forever, Repudiated forever, Cursed be forever, All the bonds of nature will break Disowned, repudiated, cursed, you will be forever! All the bonds of nature will break, If Sarastro does not meet his end through you, Hear! Hear! Hear, gods of revenge! Hear a mother's oath!
