The SNES version, because it sounds more like a soft love song. I really dislike this part of the GBA version and it sort of ruins everything for me, personally.
I am thankful, my beloved,
For your tenderness and grace.
I see in your eyes, so gentle and wise,
All doubts and fears erased!
The GBA version is much more singable. You'll notice that all the right syllables receive an emphasis in the right place. Also, it rhymes.
I feel Woosely did a good job considering everything he had to work with and the SNES version will always be special to me, that said, I actually like the GBA version better cause it works better with the music and fits better with the opera as a whole.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
