Man of La Mancha Soundtrack Lyrics
Finale (The Impossible Dream) Lyrics
DON QUIXOTE
(courteously, but without recognition.)
Now then. What is it you want?
ALDONZA
Don't you know me?
DON QUIXOTE
Should I?
ALDONZA
I am Aldonza!
DON QUIXOTE
I'm sorry. I do not recall anyone of that name.
ALDONZA
Sancho knows. Please, my Lord.
DON QUIXOTE
Why did you say "my lord"? I am not a lord.
ALDONZA
You are my lord, Don Quixote!
DON QUIXOTE
Don Quixote? You must forgive me, I have been ill...
I'm confused by shadows. It is possible I knew you once,
but I do not remember
ALDONZA
Please! Try to remember!
DON QUIXOTE
Is it so important?
ALDONZA
Everything. My whole life.
You spoke to me and everything was... different!
DON QUIXOTE
I spoke to you?
ALDONZA
And you looked at me! A
nd you called me by another name!
