Pobres Corações Infelizes

[Ursula]
The way to get what you want
Is to become a human too

[Ariel]
Can you do that?

[Ursula]
My dear and beautiful girl
That's what I do
That's what I live for
To help the unfortunate merfolks
Like you
Poor souls who have no one else to turn to

I confess that I've been really mean
It wasn't too much to just call me a witch
But after I've regretted it, I became more restrained
And even more generous and plump
(You can believe it)

Fortunately, I know a magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And nowadays, that's my occupation
I use it on behalf of the unfortunate or the sufferer that come here
(Pathetic)

Unfortunate hearts
They need me
This one wants to be skinnier, this other one wants a girlfriend
Do I solve it?
Of course I do
They're unfortunate hearts
In search for everything
All of them come begging: Make me a spell
What do I do?
I help them

But I remember at the beginning
Some of them didn't pay the price
And I was forced to punish those unfortunates
If they complaint, it will be useless
For, on the whole, I am a saint
To those unfortunate hearts

Now let's get down to business
I will make a potion that will make you a human for three days
Did you understand? Three days
Now listen
This is important
Before sunset on the third day
You have to make that prince fall in love with you
That is, he has to kiss you
Not just any kiss
True love's kiss
If he kisses you before sunset on the third day
You will stay human forever
But if you don't kiss
You will be a mermaid again and
You'll belong to me
We reached an agreement?

[Ariel]
If I become human
I will never be with my father and sisters again

[Ursula]
You're right
But you will have your man
Life is full of tough choices, isn't it?
Oh, and there's one more thing
We haven't talked about payment details yet
You can't get a thing for nothing

[Ariel]
But I don't have any—

[Ursula]
I don't charge much
It will cost you a pittance
You won't miss it
What I want from you is your voice

[Ariel]
My voice?

[Ursula]
That's what I said, my darling
No more talking, singing, the end

[Ariel]
But without my voice, how can I—

[Ursula]
You'll have your looks, your pretty face
And don't underestimate the importance of
Body language, hah

The man abhors chatty girls
He loves quiet type girls
If the woman keeps talking, gossiping all day
The man gets angry, says goodbye and goes away, no

You wouldn't want to make small talk
Men do everything to avoid that
Do you know who is the most wanted? It's the withdrawn girl
And only the quiet ones will get married

It's time to resolve
The deal between us
I'm very busy and I don't have all day
My price?
It's your voice

You, who are so unfortunate
Won't be like that anymore
If you want to cross the bridge, there is a payment
Come on, take courage, sign the document
(I have the guaranteed victory of the mermaid)

It's a happy day
I've got what I wanted

Verruga, sifruga, I want a wind like this
Laringo, la tongue and take out the larynx and the voice for me
Now sing

[Ariel]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Ursula]
Keep singing

[Ariel]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
