Opera “Maria And Draco” (Final Fantasy VI)
[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 my fear
Oh, speak! Guide me anew!

[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 but peace!

[RALSE]
Maria! Maria!
I love you so!
[DRACO, 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, RALSE, DRACO]
Our love, come what may
Will never age a day
I'll wait forevermore...
I'll wait forevermore!
