The Sound of MusicHow Can Love Survive?
Lyricist：Oscar Ii Hammerstein, Richard Rodgers

In all the famous love affairs
The lovers have to struggle
In garret rooms away upstairs
The lovers starve and snuggle

They're famous for misfortune which
They seem to have no fear of
While lovers who are very rich
You very seldom hear of

No little shack do you share with me
We do not flee from a mortgagee
Nary a care in the world have we
How can love survive?

You're fond of bonds and you own a lot
I have a plane and a diesel yacht
Plenty of nothing you haven't got
How can love survive?

No rides for us on the top of a bus
In the face of the freezing breezes
You reach your goals in your comfy old rolls
Or in one of your Mercedeses

Far, very far off the beam are we
Quaint and bizarre as a team are we
Two millionaires with a dream are we

We're keeping romance alive

Two millionaires with a dream are we
We'll make our love survive

No little cold water flat have we
Warmed by the glow of insolvency
Up to your necks in security
How can love survive?

How can I show what I feel for you?
I cannot go out and steal for you
I cannot die like Camile for you
How can love survive?

You millionaires with financial affairs
Are too busy for simple pleasure
When you are poor it is toujours l'amour
For l'amour all the poor have leisure

Caught in our gold platted chains are we
Lost in our wealthy domains are we
Trapped by our capital gains are we
But we'll keep romance alive

Trapped by our capital gains are we
We'll make our love survive

How can love survive? Lyrics

[Elsa]
Oh Max!

[Max]
In all the famous love affairs
The lovers have to struggle.
In garret rooms away upstairs
The lovers starve and snugggle.
They're famous for misfortune which
They seem tohave no fear of,
While lovers who are very rich
You very seldom hear of.

[Elsa]
No little shack does he share with me,
We do not flee from a mortgagee,
Nary a care in the world have we,

[Max]
How can love survive?

[Elsa]
He's fond of bonds and he ows a lot.
I have a plane and a diesel yacht,

[Max]
Plenty of nothing you haven't got!

[Both]
How can love survive?

[Elsa]
No rides for us on the top of a bus
In the face of the freezing breezes

[Max]
You reach your goals in your comfy old Rolls
Or in one of your Mercedes-es!

[Elsa]
Far, very far off the beam are we,
Quaint and bizarre as a team are we,
Two millionaires with a dream are we,
We're keeping romance alive.
Two millionaries with a dream are we,
We'll make our love survive...
How can I shw what I feel for him,
I cannot go out and steal for him,
I cannot die like Camile for him

[Max]
How can love survive?
You millionaires with financial affairs
Are too busy for simple pleasure.
When you are poor it is toujours l'amour,
For l'amour all the poor have leisure!

[Elsa]
Caught in our gold platted chains are we,
Lost in our wealthy domains are we.
Trapped by our capital gains are we,
But we'll keep romance alive.

[Max]
Trapped by your capital goals are you

[Both]
We'll make our love
survive!

Max and Elsa, friends of Captain von Trapp, are guests at his villa. Assuming that Elsa will eventually marry the Captain, Max asks why she hasn’t secured the Captain’s hand in marriage. He suggests that the problem may be money, since Elsa and the Captain are both rich! Teasingly, Max sings, “In all the famous love affairs, the lovers have to struggle.” The ensuing charm song foreshadows the couple’s fate; the Captain later decides he can’t marry Elsa, due to her support for capitulation to the Nazis – not for any financial reasons.

“How Can Love Survive?” does not appear in the movie. Both of Elsa and Max’s songs were cut from the film, reinforcing their distance from the musicality of the von Trapp family.
