El Capitan, Act III: “Capitan... Under the window”

[SCARAMBA, spoken]
Capitan, you are a coward and a traitor and a womanizer. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Señor, one of us must die. 

[SCARAMBA, spoken]
I agree. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
The only question is... which one? As your superior officer, I nominate you. 

[SCARAMBA, spoken]
Coward! I'll report you to Don Cazarro. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Ah, Estrelda! Here she is. Come to me, my Peruvian plum—

[SCARAMBA, spoken]
Is this man bothering you?

[ESTRELDA, spoken]
Scaramba, perhaps you—

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Scaramba, you are everlastingly piping the same tune. I knew a young man in Zanzibar who did the same thing. I'll tell you what happened to him. 

(sung)
Under the window he softly crept
While father and mother and Towser slept
Thеn plunking a tune on his light guitar
He warbled a ballad of Zanzibar
From out hеr chamber emerged the maid
Begging the name of the tune he played
Said he as he plunked his light guitar
"'Tis a typical tune of Zanzibar"

Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya

"I'm yours for aye," the maiden cried
"I'm ready to marry, to be your bride
Only plunk again on your light guitar
That typical tune of Zanibar"
Looking with love on his bride to be
He tuned the strings in another key
Then plunked once more on his light guitar
That typical tune of Zanzibar

[DON MEDIGUA, ESTRELDA & SCARAMBA]
Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya

[DON MEDIGUA]
Quickly she leaped from the casement high
Into his arms and ready to fly
But Towser had heard the light guitar
And the typical tune of Zanzibar
They buried them down by the ocean's spray
Where oft at night, so neighbors say
Is heard the plunk of a light guitar
And the typical tune of Zanzibar

[DON MEDIGUA, ESTRELDA & SCARAMBA]
Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, ya, ya
