Rumia

This Day Aria, or Cadence Aria, is a song that is featured in the episode A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2. It is sung by both Princess Cadance and Changeling Queen Chrysalis. Later in the episode, Queen Chrysalis sings a reprise of the song, when she thinks she has won.

The song seems to bear much resemblance to songs from the Disney Renaissance period, notably Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Savages from Pocahontas. It also resembles a brief reprise of The Little Mermaid's Poor Unfortunate Souls where the villain sings to the mirror while in disguise before her marriage to a hypnotized man.

This Day Aria
[Queen Chrysalis]

This day is going to be perfect

The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small

Everypony will gather round

Say I look lovely in my gown

What they don't know is that I have fooled them all

[Princess Cadance]

This day was going to be perfect

The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small

But instead of having cake

With all my friends to celebrate

My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all

[Queen Chrysalis]

I could care less about the dress

I won't partake in any cake

Vows, well I'll be lying when I say

That through any kind of weather

I'll want us to be together

The truth is I don't care for him at all!

No I do not love the groom

In my heart there is no room

But I still want him to be all mine!

[Princess Cadance]

We must escape before it's too late

Find a way to save the day

Hope, I'll be lying if I say

I don't fear that I may lose him

To one who wants to use him

Not care for, love and cherish him each day

For I oh-so love the groom

All my thoughts he does consume

Oh Shining Armor, I'll be there very soon!

[Queen Chrysalis]

Finally the moment has arrived

For me to be one lucky bride

[Princess Cadance]

Oh, the wedding we won't make

He'll end up marrying a fake

Shining Armor will be

[Queen Chrysalis]: Mine, all mine. [evil chuckle]

This Day Aria (Reprise)
[Queen Chrysalis] This day has been just perfect The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small Everypony I'll soon control Every stallion, mare and foal Who says a girl can't really have it all? [evil chuckle]
