Dulcinea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don Quixote
(Enters the inn)
Sweet lady, fair virgin
(Don quixote averts his eyes worshipfully)
I dare not gaze full upon thy countenance
Lest I be blinded by beauty. But I implore
Thee - speak once thy name.
Aldonza
Aldonza
Don quixote
My lady jests
Aldonza
Aldonza!
Don quixote
The name of a kitchen-scullion or perhaps my
Lady's serving-maid?
Aldonza
I told you my name! Now get out of the way
(She clears past him to the table)
Don Quixote
(Smiling, sill keeping his eyes averted)
Did my lady think to put me to a test?
Ah, sweet sovereign of my captive heart, I shall
Not fail thee, for I know
I have dreamed thee too long
Never seen thee or touched thee
But known thee with all of my heart
Half a prayer, half a song
Thou hast always been with me
Though we have been always apart
Dulcinea, Dulcinea
I see heaven when I see thee, Dulcinea
And thy name is like a prayer
An angel whispers, Dulcinea, Dulcinea!
If I reach out to thee
Do not tremble and shrink
From the touch of my hand on thy hair
Let my fingers but see
Thou art warm and alive
And no phantom to fade in the air
Dulcinea, Dulcinea
I have sought thee, sung thee
Dreamed thee, dulcinea!
Now I've found thee
And the world shall know thy glory
Dulcinea, Dulcinea!
