Brave Omar teach us to use weapons as

you once did is it true that when you

lived in the city of the golden domes

there was no one there who could

overcome you with any

weapon yes but then certain situations

arose there which forced me to make

decision between Liberty or my own

dishonor I chose to be

free that is the reason I fled from that

City and escaped the reach of vile you

serer

[Music]

there Allah Deliver us all from the you

suffer Cur your anger if you Valu your

life thieves and bandits

[Music]

stand apart all of you keep your

distance welcome my Lord and Master what

is the matter with my Valiant officers

territory to suppress a miserable band

of slaves magnificent they car who

better than you would be able to ensure

a victory for your own Warriors remember

D the future of your kingdom

depends entirely on you and there is no

one as exceptional as yourself D when it

comes to being an expert swordsman take

the word of a faithful slave who is

motivated solely by profound devotion I

know R I know you're one of the few

trustworthy persons in this court filled

with secret traitors

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

this Palace is empty without

you I had hoped that your first thought

would have been only for me not for

those

others could I am remissed in any way to

deserved so much neglect put it out of

your mind

in I think only of you you don't know

what torment it was for me to be without

you while I was gone so long well now

there is no more torment for you are you

disposed to receive the administrators

of your provinces now

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

la

[Music]

my Lord Dain to accept with favor these

fruits grown to bring joy to your dinner

table and these gems a contribution

loyally offered from the foremost of

your provinces

my wavers have created for you these

magnificent brocades any gold maybe

you've forgotten the gold the gold is

here my Lord I always say for the last

moment the best

thing fur skillfully prepared and here

is what was collected from the cell of

our animals this

year come back to you defrauding

embezzler

you believe this tribute would be

satisfactory why the last time you paid

in three-fold what this is perhaps you

think I am blind no my lord The Province

I administer is the poorest of all this

year the Harvest have been very meager

and many animals perished because of the

drought don't try to fool me with

excuses if you value your head be sure

that in the future your harvests are

gathered in abundance and the animals

are alive and healthy or else I should

have to kill

you now get out

don't let your anger spoil your return

[Music]

la

a

[Music]

I have kept aside until the last the

tribute worth most of

all more than gold much more than gold

the devoted administrator of one of your

outlying provinces while suppressing a

tribe in Rebellion has gathered for you

a flow worthy of a royal pleasure gun

[Music]

[Applause]

pap

[Applause]

forgive your Warriors by having spared

such dazzling Beauty reserving us solely

for your

[Music]

pleasure never before this moment has it

been so easy for me to Pardon

anyone your great Beauty eclipses the

rays of

sunlight but can you give a name to such

Splender as this yes surely my Lord her

name is Fatima shining in the sky as the

Morning

Star here is a woman worthy to stand at

my side you have nothing which you can

offer to me you who have robbed me me of

everything and I have nothing to ask of

a bandit who killed my father my mother

and my

brother since when may I ask has the

great darar let one who insulted him go

unpunished for it I didn't expect you to

greet me with something birds

today but I am

patient I am going to tame you

[Music]

look at

me you are plotting your own Misfortune

and I can forell it in your eyes take

care you'll find to your sorrow that you

are cherishing a

[Music]

serpent you're too good for

me let's see now dear if you're is hard

to beat with bow and arrow all right on

condition the target be set at no less

than 50 Paces I'll even give you 60

no no no neither 50 nor 60 Paces will do

how many times do I have to repeat to

you that an arrow doesn't strike into a

target with Force at more than 40

Paces then make it 40

agreed eyes magnificent dear you're

almost as good as I was when I was your

age one of these days I bet I can beat

him I'm sure of it don't you believe it

no one can beat the de you must get some

rest now my son let us go

home well

what is it nadir my

son don't tell me you exhausted after

those exercises you took a while ago you

are capable of enduring more difficult

trials than

that it is not my body that is tired I

see it is your mind whose thoughts fly

far

away and this is what disturbs

me I've raised you as if you were my son

tell me what's wrong in my mind I often

wander far beyond the horizons of this

wretched Village attracted as by a

vision to that far off city of golden

domes the one you've told me so much

about since I was a little

boy that city is Rich with palaces and

Gardens but you would be unable to enjoy

there all the Liberty that you are used

to here as I have often told you before

the man who rules there owes his power

to a band of mercenaries who are utterly

unscrupulous and he dominates by filling

the prisons with those who are innocent

or merely guilty of having rebelled

against his immoderate thirst for riches

the populace puts up with this for so

long isn't there any man who is able to

relieve his subject from such

oppression the man

exists but it is still much too early

for him to undertake such an

overwhelming birt this

[Music]

dearest Fatima allow your faithful

katisha to stay here beside you always

and give you

consolation however the joy of being

here with you may be overcome by the

sorrow of seeing you tormented and in

despair in all this Misfortune your

faithful attendance has been a great

comfort to me the moment I heard that

you had been brought here to live at the

palace I insisted on taking care of you

as personal

handmaiden a long time ago I was happy

and carefree living in your father's

Kingdom what brought you to this

place they overran Us in thousands they

were like Furies Unleashed in us not a

single one of our men toied the T they

also slaughtered many of the

women but they kept for themselves only

those who were the most

beautiful we Shar a sad lot in common

faithful kacia but rather than liveed

the side of a

Murder My Princess the car has many

enemies even Within These very walls you

shall not stay for long inside

here what do you mean is it possible to

get

away I think it

is I know how it is done

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I still

don't make a

[Applause]

move let him go the one we're looking

for is not

[Music]

here Omar speak to me Omar what have

they done to

[Laughter]

[Applause]

you nothing nothing my

son nothing at

all as you can

see I still alive if they have done you

any harm I would never forgive myself

but why attach any

importance to the life of an old man

like

myself it was for you that I was

[Music]

[Applause]

afraid here I am good people I have all

kind of we

those the

best we are bured with Misfortune this

is the third Village of miserable rank

Pickers that we've run up against in

this journey now these ladies may bring

us some business look at the beautiful

materials I've brought to make dresses

for you bring out something for these

ladies to see I have the best quality

merchandise for women's wear here you're

wasting your time with us pedler we have

more urgent need of other things here

just look around you you mean the

mercenaries came even here and by any

chance were some of you hiding the

princess who is this princess Omar was

right when he said he knew them those

plunderers were mercenaries sent by

darar yes they were searching for the

royal princess Fatima who fled from the

evil clutches of that Tyrant they're

looking into every single nook and

cranny of all the village it would be

best then if you didn't wander too far

away don't worry I am able to defend

myself from every possible Danger

a

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

than

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

here put this over

here who is she did she tell you her

name there wasn't any way I could speak

to her she was was lying in a boat being

swept by the current toward the Rapids

she would certainly have been drowned if

I hadn't got to her in

time who are you his name is nadir there

is no lad braver than he in all the land

now while you lie there and look at him

I'll go and prepare something for you to

eat come with me I'm

coming tell us what we can do to make

you comfortable my

daughter our house is a humble one and

all our resources are limited yet

everything we have is always at the

disposal of our visitors in a modest

house one is often received royally as

here your courteous generosity would put

a prince to shame your manner of

speaking is that which a princess

uses are you by chance Fatima Fatima why

yes that is my name how did you know who

I

was I didn't know who you were but I put

two and two together and I came to the

right conclusion what are you two

talking about and

hurry those soldiers of De cars are

sifting the countryside in their search

for the lovely Fatima and the river

casts up into our arms a young maiden of

Royal Beauty you may draw your own

conclusion age has endowed you with

wisdom uh not only age has done it but

also a lifetime lived to the full in joy

and in

sorrow your very presence here however

exposes The Village to new raids and

further de station it is necessary

therefore for you to go somewhere so far

away that that car will be unable to rec

me as yet I do not know I've had enough

not even the two of you put together

would be a match for me any news nothing

my

Lord what was that nothing and you dare

to use that word with me search The

remotest Districts The Forest Villages

and cities dismantle the provinces of

stone by Stone do whatever you like but

you find me the princess Fatima and you

bring her back here to

me as surely as I was given the name d

car not a single one of you will be left

with his head on his shoulders if you

return once again empty-handed now get

out of my sight you be off with you you

p a

mongr what do you want when your spirits

are once more free from anger Dain them

to consider the opinion of the most

devoted of all your counselors don't

bother with these preambles and excuses

R but tell me what's on your mind the

captain of your bodyguard is a man of

the best of tensions but not really

fortunate now I certain that I can solve

better than he in a much less time the

difficult problems that you have set him

to

do what makes you think so because I'm a

man who is trustworthy and what is the

price of this trustworthiness of yours

in an outlying province of your broad

dominions There lives a certain citizen

whose personal Fortune exceeds every

ordinary limit he owns vast properties

with buildings and innumerable slaves

but by now he's well on in years and

it's bad for him to enjoy alone such a

Fortune as H what is it you're asking

for with your foring phrases I want his

possessions my Lord but to obtain them

you will have to let me take his life

also his life is already yours and so

are all his

riches but take care I will not think of

pardoning you if you're unsuccessful

[Music]

what do you think how easy it is to

bring Beauty even to a simple Hut why

it's almost fit for a queen and you are

Fit For A King

well you must excuse me uh well the next

time I'll make sure you hear me a long

way off before I come in

why are you so sad my I'm afraid that

all this will end oh if it is our love

that you mean I'm sure you are

mistaken I'm nothing more than a poor

fisherman I wish I possessed a kingdom

to give you but all I have is myself I

don't ask for more I don't have marble

palaces that you were born to live in

nor richly woven dresses for you to wear

what use have we too of such

riches do you believe any man could ever

build a lovely place like this a ceiling

of heavenly color as blue and shiny

where is the Magnificent

City able to offer us such a peaceful

life all of this is our kingdom which

will last forever and you are the

loveliest of Queens

[Music]

la

[Applause]

[Music]

anything unusual which attracts your

attention let's push on

[Music]

Whenever there is a fire burning there

must also be someone who kindled it they

must be fishermen

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

big catch move

move I'll not rest from now on until I

defeat alone what does that matter I'm

care of your life my dear son I'm only

[Music]

a

[Music]

do not despair your devoted Katia will

be here by your

side Allah has willed it that my plan

should be a

failure but surely does not mean that

you must bow down to the evil W of the

car there is still hope for you my

beloved princess dis fortun cannot be

overcome by all your weeping

away with you leave us alone

here you have given me more reason to

worry on your account recently than all

my cares of Stay

Together have you finally been able to

comprehend that I always obtain whatever

I set my heart on

I desire you to sit on the throne at my

side and to Reign Over All My People you

shall be the most envied Queen on Earth

I should prefer to be the most pitiable

slave rather than belong to you don't

speak to me this way I will not allow

you to use language like

this I have put up with your stubborn

Pride for as long as I can and my

Indulgence to you has a limit at

last I can also destroy even the things

I love most if it is necessary

I have no doubt whatever I have seen

with my own eyes the cruelties you're

capable of it's not proper for women to

judge certain measures of government

remove these gloomy thoughts from your

mind if they are a burden to

you let me enjoy your loveliness Fatima

calmly and serenely but how is it

possible for a man to enjoy a woman whom

he despises this Hess of yours makes you

even more desirable to me

Fatima but beware now lest you provoke

my anger as well all you can do to me is

kill me D and that is a power of no

concern to a woman who would prefer to

be put to death you are still not

yourself after everything that's

happened to

you if I want to I can be

patient I shall return to you later

on and you will do well to receive and

greet me as a woman should receive her

son as you see I am almost as good as

new the kind people of our village came

here constantly while I was recovering

my health many things have changed since

then Omar I have been to darak where

darar made me a

prisoner but the most important thing is

that I must say Fatima I shall have no

peace until I have set her free again I

shall round up some men arm them and I

shall attack the city and put an enter

the car my life shall have no other

purpose except

this come Nadia let us go inside what

you are saying to me is very serious it

is time for me to tell you some things

that are unknown to

put you in great danger of losing your

life and your life is something far more

important than you could possibly

imagine what do you mean I don't

understand

you my

dear you are not who you think you

are your real father reigned over this

country before Dakar overthrew

snatched you from certain death and

need of you continue as my oldest and

most reliable counselor for my own well

being as for you

R you shall answer to me personally for

all these strange things that are going

on around here I can no longer put my

faith in anyone who could possibly have

arranged The Escape of that man and the

Escape before of

Fatima it certainly appears that someone

is an accomplice in all these events of

late the whole thing is unheard of my

mighty Lord and Master gives somewhat

excessive importance to all that has

occurred the flight of a rag picker does

not Merit such attention as the Wrath of

the great D reserve your fearful

indignation for causes that more deserve

it all I want is to be able to put my

trust in my own men the gods have all

been severely punished for being

negligent of their Duty I can assure you

that in the future nothing of this kind

will occur again very well

then perhaps it is better that my mind

now should dwell un happier and more

welcome subjects such as my wedding with

Fatima almost upon us and so I'm

counting on you to protect me from

disturbances which should be spared me

[Music]

I need all you young men capable and

willing to join me and take up arm I am

making this appeal throughout all the

friendly Villages until I have enrolled

an invincible Army which I can lead

against takar

the appeal which you have just heard has

been spoken by a prince to whom you owe

respect in

devotion the young man whom you have all

known here to for by the name of Nadia

is the legitimate heir to this great

Kingdom which the usurping Tyrant AAR

holds by force after possessing it by

violence if you will follow us at the

risk of your lives Nadia will restore

you your Liberty which was rested from

you Brothers we were convinced we would

be able to count on all of you the men

who are with us will prepare for Army

service the women will supply them with

clothing and Provisions and with every

scrap of cloth they will throw together

Banners To Be raised High over every one

of our

Villages have your Messengers bear this

news to all of the tribes in the

neighborhood

a

[Music]

we believe what you say Omar but young

men whose enthusiasms are so easily

aroused are equally prown to hesitation

in time of Crisis I must remind Omar who

must be tested according to the

traditions of our people of which you

are well aware I know these tradition

say well then Nadar prove to one in all

that you are a real Prince you already

know the test you must undergo are you

ready I am ready Omar if I'm Victorious

I shall ow it to your teaching

[Music]

congratulations my prince there is no

doubt that you want a clear Victory you

did it perfectly dear there is a single

man who could beat you that is true come

come let him recover his breath the test

is not yet finished and now another

trial of his

strength

certainly is

disposal most Valiant of princes you

have but to order us so Prince and you

will be obeyed

stand in our way to Victory

by

[Music]

n

[Music]

we are in position now to launch a final

assault against the Tyrant we have men

and weapons to ensure us a victory we

need only make a plan of

attack very heavily Garrison we shall

have to break down the gates with a

battering ram the use of a battering ram

should be restricted to breaking down

the gates on the north of the

city to open the main gate on this side

we shall employ volunteers to carry out

a system which I have used with success

in the past and when the right moment

comes I will do it again we shall suffer

enormous losses the lives of brave men

is the price of winning every battle we

must succeed in entering D here within

the briefest time possible the more time

we spend besieging the battlements the

more men we shall lose we will count

upon a complete surprise we must arrange

for someone to gain entrance to the

Palace of D to protect the beautiful

princess let me be the one for this

I know of some secret passages that for

a long time no one as used there but in

our case they may prove to be invaluable

I shall come with you faithful friend I

wish to perform this task personally you

will assume the command of all our

forces when you see a torch in the sky

which I myself will throw from the

battlements you will

attack here is what I plan at a signal

we've agreed on you will batter down the

gates on the North while the van of the

army covers the towers and battlements

with a continual and Rapid hail of

arrows as soon as the gates have yielded

the whole Army will pour into the city

that's just what I would have advised

you Nadia but it gives me pleasure to

see you no longer need any suggestion of

mine then we are all agreed everyone to

his post now ahead of us Li many

difficulties may Allah protect us

[Music]

a

[Music]

am I then to have no peace even on the

day before the celebration of my own

wedding of what use to me are myund

counselors my thousand of guards an

entire standing army if every time some

wretched Village Rebels you come running

din but if one can become accustomed to

a beautiful creature then one can also

grow tired of

unbounded

curiosity what you say has wounded me

more deeply than any weapon C now leave

draw and live

apart she should not wait until she

hears it told to her in fact you have no

need to tell me that I had already

decided to leave you alone in your Folly

the only reason is that sometimes even a

king is unable to see the abyss into

which he's bound to fall come

signal to the
