Man of La Mancha

0

[ALDONZA, spoken]
Please, try to remember
You looked at me and you called me by another name
(sung)
Dulcinea, Dulcinea
Once you found a girl and called her Dulcinea
When you spoke the name an angel seemed to whisper
Dulcinea, Dulcinea
Dulcinea, Dulcinea
Won't you please bring back the dream of Dulcinea?
Won't you bring me back the bright and shining glory
Of Dulcinea, Dulcinea?
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
Perhaps... perhaps it was not a dream
[ALDONZA, spoken]
You spoke of a dream
And about the quest!
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
The quest?
The words. Tell me, tell me the words!
[ALDONZA, spoken]
"To dream the impossible dream"
But they're your own words!
"To fight the unbeatable foe"
Don't you remember?
"To bear with unbearable sorrow"
You must remember!
"To run where the brave dare not go"
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
To right the unrightable wrong
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Yes
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
To love, pure and chaste, from afar
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Yes
[DON QUIXOTE]
To try, when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star!
[ALDONZA, spoken]
Thank you, my lord!
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
But this is not seemly, my lady
On thy knees? To me?
[ALDONZA, spoken]
My lord, you're not well!
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
Not well?
What is illness to the body of a knight-errant?
What matter wounds?
For each time he falls he shall rise again
And woe to the wicked! Sancho!
[SANCHO, spoken]
Here, your Grace!
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
My armor! My sword!
[SANCHO, spoken]
More misadventures!
[DON QUIXOTE, spoken]
Adventures, old friend!
(sung)
Oh the trumpets of glory now call me to ride
Yes, the trumpets are calling to me
And wherever I ride, ever staunch at my side
My squire and my lady shall be
I am I, Don Quixote
[DON QUIXOTE, ALDONZA & SANCHO]
The Lord of La Mancha
Our destiny calls and we go!
And the wild winds of fortune shall carry us onward
[DON QUIXOTE]
Oh, whi—
[ALDONZA, spoken]
My Lord!
[SANCHO, spoken]
Master!
[DON QUIXOTE]
Whithersoever they blow
Onward to glory—
(spoken)
Ah! I... I... go... 
[ALDONZA, spoken]
My lord... 
[PADRE]
De profundis clamo ad te
Domine, Domine, audi vocem meam
Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit
