Aria De Mezzo Carattere Composed by Nobuo Uematsu Source: http://lyricwiki.org, www.fflyrics.com (ENGLISH) [IMPRESSARIO] The war between the East and the West Was growing more violent by the day... Draco, a soldier from the West, Thinks of his love, Maria, Back at home... [Draco] Oh Maria! Oh Maria! My beloved, do you hear My words whispered in you ear As if I were by your side [Narrator] The Western armies were defeated, And Maria's castle fell into the hands of the East. Forced to wed the Eastern Prince Ralse, Maria still thinks only of Draco As she gazes at the stars each night... [Maria] O my hero, my beloved, Shall we still be made to part, Though promises of perennial love Yet sing here in my heart? I'm the darkness, you're the starlight Shining brightly from afar. Through hours of despair, I offer this prayer To you, my evening star. Must my final vows exchanged Be with him and not with you? Were you only here To quiet my fear... O speak! Guide me anew. [Draco] Come, Maria! Dance with me... [Maria] I am thankful, my beloved, For your tenderness and grace. I see in your eyes, so gentle and wise, All doubts and fears erased! Though the hours take no notice Of what fate might have in store, Our love, come what may, will never age a day. I'll wait forevermore!
