Ariadne’s Thread

Music by Paulo Melo and Lyric by Paulo Schmidt

 

Seven lads

Seven girls

Year by year

Lost their souls

 

[Minos]

For Androgeus Athens will pay

Minotaur is waiting for them

[Teseu]

I will kill the horned beast

Athens will be free

[Delfos Oracle]

If you wish to succeed

The power of love you will need

Only rage won’t be strong enough

You will need help in your battle

[Teseu]

The labyrinth is my will

The minotaur I will kill

To free my land from this price

Even if I may die

 

 Ariadne: You are the one that makes my heart beat stronger

Teseu: She came to me

Ariadne: If you marry me I can save you

Teseu: It will be done

Ariadne: Promise me you’ll never leave me alone

Teseu: You are my strength

Ariadne and Teseu: Together by the thread you will be by my side

 

[Teseu]

Princess help me and show the way

This sword will kill the beast and your thread will guide my way

Princess help me and show the way

This sword will kill the beast and your thread will guide my way

[Teseu]

The labyrinth is my will

The minotaur I will kill

To free my land from this price

Even if I may die

 

[Ariadne]

If you go into the labyrinth

Teseu: She came to me

Use this magical sword to win

Teseu: It will be done

And this thread will bring you back to me

Teseu: You are my strength

Together by the thread you will be by my side

 

[Teseu]

Princess help me and show the way

This sword will kill the beast and your thread will guide my way

Princess help me and show the way

This sword will kill the beast and your thread will guide my way
