Miaka
(Sung to the tune of "Maria"
West Side Story-Steven Sondheim, lyrist)

In Tamahome's Head: The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
He and Miaka stand, hands joined, in front of her chambers.

In Tamahome's Head: Miaka, Miaka, Miaka, Miaka...
They kiss.

In Tamahome's Head: All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word.
Miaka goes into her room and closes the door.

In Tamahome's Head: Miaka, Miaka, Miaka, Miaka...
In a daze, he slowly turns and walks along the walkway

In Tamahome's Head: Miaka, Miaka...
He begins to move at a faster pace.

Tamahome: Miaka!
He does a slow pirouette.

Tamahome: I just met a girl named Miaka,
Begins dancing along the raised walkway.

Tamahome: And suddenly that name...will never be the same to me.
Hotohori and his advisors walk by giving Tamahome a strange look.

Tamahome: Miaka!
Does a balletic jump.

Tamahome: I just kissed a girl named Miaka,
Dances down the steps and into the courtyard.

Tamahome: And suddenly I found...how wonderful a sound can be!
Chichiri approaches him and tries to say something. Seeing that Tamahome doesn't hear him, Chichiri gives up and leaves.

Tamahome: Miaka!
He grabs Nuriko who is walking by.

Tamahome: Say it loud and there's music playing--
He begins dancing with Nuriko, who's rather shocked. Tamahome then twirls him and walks off.

Tamahome: Say it soft and it's almost like praying--
He gets down on one knee like he's praying.

Tamahome: Miaka...
He gets back up and begins to make his way to the Palace gate.

Tamahome: I'll never stop saying Miaka!
He begins to run.

Tamahome: Miaaaaaaaakaaaaaa!!
He does a balletic leap through the gate, surprising two guards.

Tamahome: Miaaaaaaakaaaa!!
He begins to dance through the town, getting strange looks from everyone.

Tamahome: Miaaaaakaaa! Miaaaaakaaaaaa!!
He dances past Mitsukake and Chiriko, who are shopping. They both look at him like he's lost his mind.

Tamahome: Miaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
He does one of those slow turns, his arms straight out to the side.

Tamahome: Miaaaaaaaaaaaakaaaaaaa!!
Begins dancing through the town again, towards the Palace.

Tamahome: Miaaaaaaaaaakaaaaaaa!!
Does another balletic leap through the Palace gate, past the same startled guards.

Tamahome: Miaaaaakaaaa!!
Dances up the steps to the walkway.

Tamahome: Say it loud and there's music playing--
He leaps up onto the railing. He grabs a support beam with one hand while holding the other hand out. (Think Gene Kelly in "Singing in the Rain".)

Tamahome: Say it soft and it's almost like praying--
Tamahome leans against the support beam, a dreamy look in his eyes.

Tamahome: Miaka...
I'll never stop saying Miaka.
He does a graceful jump off the railing into the courtyard

Tamahome: The most beautiful sound I ever heard--
He reaches out and grabs the nearest person, who happens to be Tasuki, and begins to dance with him.

Tamahome: Miaaaaaaaaaaakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
He dips Tasuki, who glares up at him. Tamahome nevers looks at him but sings ecstatically to the sky.
