I had been looking for the Distant worlds: Final Fantasy Album done by the Royal Stockholm Philharmoic Orchestra now for quite some time and today I ran across it, I love all of the songs on there they are all so well done. But….One of them stuck out! and really got me. The “Opera: Maria and Draco” it was a Opera in Final Fantasy VI that plays as a part in the storyline. I would love to get promission from Nobuo to do a full scale Opera of this because there is much more to the Opera then what I am about to post, these two Youtube videos is the full song on the Album but not the full Opera. So enjoy and maybe one day I’ll be able to do a full scale Opera of this!! ^_^
Also here are the Lyrics:
Part 1
Draco:
Oh, Maria
Oh, Maria
Though I call you from afar,
Will this message reach your heart?
Oh, how I long to be with you!
Maria:
Oh, 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
Oh, speak! Guide me anew!
Part 2
Draco:
Maria!
Maria:
Draco! I knew you would return to me, my love!
Ralse:
Insolent rogue! Knave of the Western Horde!
Would you address my Queen-to-be, Maria?
Draco:
Never shall you have Maria’s Hand!
I would die before that day comes!
Ralse:
Then we duel!
Ralse:
I yield… this day is yours, Draco.
Curse you should you let Maria go!
Draco:
Peace, then! For you have my word:
With me she’ll know nothing of need!
Ralse:
Maria! Maria!
I love you so!
Draco and Ralse:
Maria! Maria!
Return to 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
Maria and Draco:
Our love, come what may
Will never age a day
I’ll wait forevermore…
I’ll wait forevermore!
