†The Opera†

This is the script to Celes' Opera scene, and also the lyrics to her song, "Aria de Mezzo Caraterre", in English and Italian. Of course, I had to add the MIDI.

IMPRESARIO: DRACO: NARRATOR:

The West and East are waging war... Draco, the West's great hero, thinks of his love, Maria. Is she safe? Is she waiting? Oh Maria! Oh Maria! Please, hear my voice! How I long to be with you! 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...

English 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. 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...

Italian Amor mio, caro bene, perché vai lontan da me? Giurasti un amor, che mai non dovea aver fine per noi. Nei momenti di tristezza Nei momenti di dolor, A te, mia stella, penso con infinito ardore. Un legame senza speme perché mai dovrei aver? Che cosa tu vuoi ch'io faccia oramai, mi devi dire tu. [long instrumental part] Ti ringrazio, caro bene, amor mio, vita mia, Al grave doler, al buio timor che il cuore mi turbó, dolcemente, con amore hai risposto al mio gridar, per sempre ognor, per sempre ognor, qui a me, t'attenderò.
