Impresario

The battle between the West and the East

was growing more fierce day by day.

On the battleground during a furious skirmish,

the soldier Draco of the Western castle Garou

thinks of Maria,

whom he left in his homeland...

Draco

Oh, Maria

Oh, Maria

Is my voice reaching

To where you are?

Impresario

The West was defeated, and Maria's castle

came under Eastern control.

Maria, forced into marriage by

the Eastern Prince Ralse,

does not abandon her feelings for Draco,

but thinks of her lover each night

as she watches the skies...

Maria

My beloved, are you going to a distant place?

And we just pledged eternal love...

Through sad times and hard times,

I'll think of that shooting star as you.

Do I have to exchange vows with one I don't love?

What shall I do? I'm waiting for your words...

Draco

Come... Maria.

Dance a step with me...

Ha ha ha ha...

Maria

And I thank you, my beloved,

For my feelings may have swayed,

But oh so gently, and so kindly, you answered me

I'll wait for you forevermore...

Chancellor

Prince Ralse is searching.

For his dance partner.

Please resign yourself to this.

We've become a dependency

of the East, after all...

Messenger

The Western survivors are attacking!

Ralse

What?

Soldiers

Attack!

Draco

Wait!

Maria!

Maria

Draco!

I had believed in this day.

Ralse

Maria is meant to

be my queen.

Draco

Though it may cost me my life,

I refuse to let her go.

Ralse

Then we duel!

SNES
Impresario

The West and the East were waging war...

Draco, the West's great hero, thinks of his love, Maria.

Is she safe? Is she waiting...?

Draco

Oh Maria!

Oh Maria!

How I long to be with you!

Impresario

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...

Maria

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.

Draco

Ha ha ha ha...

Maria

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...

Chancellor

Prince Ralse is looking for a dance partner.

Leave the past behind.

Our kingdom is adopting the spirit of the East.

Messenger

The survivors of the West attack!

Ralse

Impossible!

Soldiers

Attack!!

Draco

Wait!!

Draco

Maria!

Maria

Draco, I've waited so long.

I knew you'd come.

Ralse

Maria will finally have to become my queen!

Draco

For the rest of my life, I'll keep you near...

Ralse

It's a duel!

GBA
Impresario

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?

Impresario

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...

Ha-ha-ha...!

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!

Chancellor

Prince Ralse is looking for his dance partner.

Please, leave the past behind! Our kingdom is part of the East now...

Soldier

The Western survivors attack!

Ralse

Impossible!

Soldiers

Attack!

Draco

Wait!

Draco

Maria!

Maria

Oh, Draco!

I knew you would

Come for me, my love!

Ralse

Insolent rogue!

Knave of the Western Horde!

You would address my queen to be, Maria?

Draco

Never shall you have Maria's hand!

I would die before that day comes!

Ralse

Then it's a duel!

The battle between the West and the East

was growing more fierce day by day.

On the battleground during a furious skirmish,

the soldier Draco of the Western castle Garou

Messenger

The few surviving soldiers of the Western army

summoned the last of their strength

and invaded the Garou castle.

Leading these soldiers with a fierce battle cry

and cutting down the warriors of the East

was a single hero, battered and bruised.

The soldier Draco had returned!

Draco

Maria!

Maria

Draco!

I had believed in this day.

Ralse

Maria is meant to

be my queen.

Draco

Though it may cost me my life,

I refuse to let her go.

Ralse

Then we duel!

Draco

I risk my life for Maria's sake

Ralse

My love for her is greater than anyone's

Draco

Take this!

Chorus

The gloves are off!

Ralse

Come and get me!

Chorus

Clash your swords!

Draco

Maria--what is she to you?

Chorus

How important is she?

Ralse

Do you even have to ask?

Chorus

She's very much so

Draco

I guess we have no choice but to fight

Ralse

Maria is

Draco and Ralse

Mine!

I'm not about to lose!

Impresario

Neither retreated even a single step

in their fierce battle.

But the match came down to luck.

The badly wounded Draco unleashed a final thrust

that pierced Ralse's heart.

Part 4

Ralse

I have lost, Draco.

Don't let Maria go.

Draco

I promise you we will be happy.

Ralse

Oh, Maria...oh, Maria, my dearest.

Draco and Ralse

Oh, Maria...oh, Maria, I love her.

Maria

And I thank you, the one I love,

For my feelings may have swayed,

But oh so gently, and so kindly, you answered me

Maria and Draco

I'll wait for you forevermore,

I'll wait for you.
