Aria de Mezzo Carattere

IMPRESSARIO: The West and East are waging war...

Draco, the West's great hero, thinks of his love, Maria.

Is she safe? Is she waiting?

Draco: Oh Maria!

Oh Maria!

Please, hear my voice!

How I long to be with you!

Narrator: The forces of the West fell,

and Maria's castle was taken.

Prince Ralse, of the East,

took her hand by force,

but she never stopped yearning for Draco...

Maria: Oh my hero, so far away now.

Will I ever see your smile?

Love goes away, like night into day.

It's just a fading dream.

I'm the darkness, you're the stars.

Our love is brighter than the sun.

For eternity, for me there can be,

Only you, my chosen one...

Must I forget you? Our solemn promise?

Will autumn take the place of spring?

What shall I do? I'm lost without you.

Speak to me once more!

Draco: Come, Maria, follow my lead.

Maria: We must part now, my life goes on.

but my heart won't give you up.

Ere I walk away, let me hear you say.

I meant as much to you....

So gently, you touched my heart.

I will be forever yours.

Come what may, I won't age a day,

I'll wait for you, always...
