Man of La Mancha Page #6

Milady, you must not wait

upon my needs.

I implore you,

speak once your name.

Aldonza.

- Milady jests.

- Aldonza!

The name of a kitchen scullion

or milady's serving maid!

I told you my name.

Now get out of the way,

or I'Il... by Christ, I'Il...

Milady,

think to put me to the test?

Oh, sweet sovereign

of my captive heart...

how could I fail thee

when I know...

I have dreamed thee too long

Never seen thee or touched thee

But known thee

with all of my heart

Half a prayer, half a song

Thou hast always been with me

Though we have been always apart

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

I see heaven when I see thee

Dulcinea

And thy name is like a prayer

an angel whispers

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

If I reach out to thee

Do not tremble and shrink

From the touch of my hand

on thy hair

Let my fingers but see

Thou art warm and alive

And no phantom

to fade in the air

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

I have sought thee,

sung thee, dreamed thee

Dulcinea

Now I've found thee, and

the world shall know thy glory

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

Come along, Sir Knight.

I'll show you to your quarters.

Dulcinea.

Dulcinea.

- Dulcinea!

- Dulcinea!

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

I see heaven when I see thee

- Dulcinea

- Dulcinea

Filthy swine!

And thy name is like a prayer

an angel whispers

Sons of whores!

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

I have sought thee,

sung thee, dreamed thee

Dulcinea

Now I've found thee, and

the world shall know thy glory

Dulcinea

Dulcinea

- Halt!

- Bastards!

Governor, this man proposed

to offer a defense.

This is my defense.

The most curious

I've ever heard.

- But if it entertains?

- The word is "diverts."

I think your purpose

is to divert us from ours.

Precisely. May I go on?

- Continue with your defense.

- Thank you.

Imagine now the family

our brave night leaves behind.

Not the lords and ladies...

and retainers of

Don Quixote de La Mancha...

but the simple womenfolk

of Alonso Quijana.

Think of the shock

the news of his madness...

- brings to his niece...

- Antonia.

Antonia, who is concerned

about the effect...

on her forthcoming marriage.

Can't I have it?

Afterwards, princess,

you can keep it...

but now you're my niece

concerned about marriage.

To his housekeeper

of many years...

pious lady, come on, come on...

concerned that devils and

darkness have overtaken him.

- And to the local priest...

- Please let me be him.

Who has known Alonso

all of his life. One priest.

- Thank you.

- One priest!

And, shortly, there will appear

a character...

whose philosophy

may appeal enormously... to you!

Antonia and the housekeeper

hurry to the church.

- Church, please.

- The church.

Anguished by the situation...
