Finale Sequence: The Death of Alonso Quijana - Dulcinea (Reprise) / The Impossible Dream (The Quest) (Reprise) / Man of La Mancha

DON QUIXOTE
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!
And you called me by another name!

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
Then perhaps... it was not a dream

ALDONZA
You spoke of a dream. And about the Quest!

DON QUIXOTE
Quest?

ALDONZA
Yes, how you must fight and it doesn't matter whether
You win or lose if only you follow the Quest!

DON QUIXOTE
The words. Tell me the words!

ALDONZA
"To dream the impossible dream"
But they're your own words!
"To fight the unbeatable foe"
Don't you remember?
"To be with unbearable sorrow"
You must remember!
"To run where the brave dare not go!"

DON QUIXOTE
To right the unrightable wrong

ALDONZA
Yes

DON QUIXOTE
To love, pure and chaste, from afar

ALDONZA
Yes

DON QUIXOTE
To try, when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star!

ALDONZA
Thank you. My Lord!

DON QUIXOTE
But this is not seemly, My Lady
On thy knees? To me?

ALDONZA
Oh, my Lord, you are not well!

DON QUIXOTE
Not well? What is sickness 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
Here, Your Grace!
More misadventures!

DON QUIXOTE
Adventures, old friend!

DON QUIXOTE
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
My (Our) destiny calls and I (we) go!
And the wild winds of fortune Shall carry me (us) onward
Oh, whithersoever

ALDONZA
My Lord!

SANCHO
Master!

DON QUIXOTE
Whithersoever they blow
Onward to glory... aah!... I... go

ALDONZA
My Lord

SANCHO
He is dead
My master is dead

ALDONZA
A man died
He seemed a good man, but I did not know him

SANCHO
But

ALDONZA
Don Quixote is not dead. Believe, Sancho, believe

SANCHO
Aldonza

ALDONZA
My name is Dulcinea
