Original story by Lucy Maud Montgomery
AKAGE NO ANNE
Hizume no oto
A carriage goes through the gentle hills
Yuruyakana oka wo nutte
Kaketekuru basha
Someone comes to pick me up
Mukae ni kuru no mukae ni kuru no ne
And takes me
Dare ka ga
Watashi wo tsureteyuku no ne
Shiroi hana no michi he
To the avenue with white flowers
To the home of wind
Kaze no furusato he
He takes me
Tsureteyuku no ne
I'm sure

A Solemn Vow and Promise
I hope I can be Diana's friend.
I'm sure I will like Diana.
And I'm sure Diana will like me.
Because Diana's house is lighted, and it seems so close tonight.
Will the rain stop?
Will the rain stop today?
Don't worry, Anne. The rain will stop by noon.
Really, Matthew?
Matthew's weather forecast is usually correct.
I'm relieved!
Then, will I be able to get acquainted with Diana today?
Yes. But only after the tea.
We wouldn't want to vex them too much.
Anne, It's time to go!
Yes!
Your usual attire would do.
I'm just going to borrow some embroidery samples.
But...
Come on. If you keep delaying, the sun will set.
What is it?
Oh, Marilla, I'm frightened.
Now that it has come I'm actually frightened.
What if Diana shouldn't like me!
It would be the most tragical disappointment of my life.
Now, don't get into a fluster.
And I do wish you wouldn't use such long words.
It sounds so funny in a little girl.
Don't worry, I guess Diana'll like you well enough.
It's her mother you've got to reckon with.
If she doesn't like you it won't matter how much Diana does.
If she has heard about your outburst to Mrs. Lynde, and about your hat,
I don't know what she'll think of you.
You must be polite and well behaved, and don't make any of your startling speeches.
The child it's actually trembling!
Oh, Marilla, you'd be excited, too
if you were going to meet a little girl you hoped to be your bosom friend,
and whose mother mightn't like you.
This is the fastest path to Mr. Barry's house.
I will remember it well.
How do you do, Marilla?
Come in.
And this is the little girl you have adopted, I suppose?
Well, dont stand there, come closer.
This is Anne Shirley.
E-excuse me... It's Anne spelled with an E.
How are you?
I am well in body although considerable rumpled up in spirit, thank you ma'am.
Please come in.
There wasn't anything startling in that, was there?
Softer, she is not deaf.
This is my little girl Diana.
Diana!
Diana.
Yes?
You might take Anne out into the garden and show her your flowers.
It will be better for you than straining your eyes over that book.
Alright.
She reads entirely too much and I can't prevent her,
for her father aids and abets her.
She's always poring over a book.
I'm glad she has the prospect of a playmate. Perhaps it will take her more out-of-doors.
Oh, Diana...
do you think you can like me a little... enough to be my bosom friend?
Why, I guess so.
I'm awfully glad you've come to live at Green Gables.
It will be jolly to have somebody to play with.
Really?
There isn't any other girl who lives near enough to play with,
and I've no sisters big enough.
Will you swear to be my friend forever and ever?
Swear?
Oh no, It just means vowing and promising solemnly.
I don't mind doing that. How do you do it?
We must join hands... and...
It ought to be over running water.
We'll just imagine this path is running water.
I'll repeat the oath first.
I solemnly swear to be faithful to my bosom friend, Diana Barry
as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
Oboeteite daiana
Kono niwa ni afureteita hikari
Ribon no youna komichi
Futarino tenohira no nukumori mo
Wasurenai de daiana
Now you say it and put my name in.
I solemnly swear to be faithful to my bosom friend, Anne Shirley
as long as the sun and moon shall endure.
You're a queer girl, Anne.
I heard before that you were queer.
But I believe I'm going to like you real well.
Oh! It's the lake of Shining Waters!
lake of Shining Waters?
Yes. When I first took Matthew's carriage here,
I named this lake the Lake of Shining Waters.
Lake of Shining Waters. What a beautiful name.
Isn't? I'm glad that you understand me.
Come in Anne.
Are this books all yours?
Whether Christmas or my birthday, I always get books as gifts.
That is a story about a girl that has five lovers.
Five lovers?
I would want just one.
But it seems interesting.
I'll lend it to you.
Really? You'll lend it to me?
Didn't we just took an oath of friendship?
Diana!
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
It's strange but it is quite interesting. Look.
Interesting, don't you think? You can borrow it too.
Sit down. And your hat...
Oh! I forgot!
I like books very much too.
I don't have any, but I always borrowed them.
I like to imagine the many scenes in the books.
But I understand that those scenes cannot replace friends.
I had a very good friend before.
But when I came to Green Gables and heard about you, I knew we would be good friends.
So... so I was worried what I would do if you didn't like me.
But there's no need to worry now.
Of course. The first time I heard about you was at my Aunt's house, in Carmody
and since then, I wanted to meet you too!
You're... you're really great!
Someone who says those things to Mrs. Lynde has to be.
You know about that?
Oh! What should I do? Does your mother know?
Don't worry. Mother isn't interested in such matters.
Thank goodness!
Oh, what a rare sight, Mr. Cuthbert!
What can I do for you?
Well now... I... well...
Maybe another time.
Anne, we're going to leave. Come on!
I'll borrow this then.
Go ahead, as you wish.
Must we go back already?
Of course.
I only brought you to greet them today.
I'm sorry to have disturbed you.
You can stay a little more.
Another time.
You're welcome anytime, Anne.
Thank you Mrs. Barry.
Let me send them out.
Alright. You can go with them.
Anne is a really lively and good girl, Mrs. Cuthbert.
Thank you, Mrs. Barry.
Well then...
Thank you, Diana.
Then, we'll meet here again tomorrow.
Yes, I'll be here.
Well, goodbye!
Goodbye!
Bye!
Well, did you find Diana a kindred spirit?
Oh yes!
Oh Marilla, I'm the happiest girl on Prince Edward Island this very moment.
I'll say my prayers with a right good-will tonight.
Diana and I are going to build a playhouse in Mr. Bell's birch grove tomorrow.
Diana's birthday is in February and mine is in March.
What a strange coincidence.
Diana's going to show me a place back in the woods where rice lilies grow.
Don't you think Diana has got very soulful eyes?
I wish I had soulful eyes.
Diana is going to teach me to sing a song called 'Nelly in the Hazel Dell.'
She's going to give me a picture to put up in my room.
A lovely lady in a pale blue silk dress.
A sewing-machine agent gave it to her.
I wish I had something to give Diana.
I'm an inch taller than Diana, but she is ever so much fatter.
She says she'd like to be thin because it's so much more graceful,
but I'm afraid she only said it to soothe my feelings.
We're going to the shore some day to gather shells.
Diana must look nice being surrounded by shells.
Anne!
All I hope is you won't talk Diana to death.
But remember this in all your planning.
You're not going to play all the time nor most of it.
You'll have your work to do and it'll have to be done first.
Yes, of course.
Wait... Anne!
Welcome home, Matthew.
Matthew, Me and Diana became friends.
Well now, I knew you would be friends.
We had an oath of friendship.
I went to a store at Carmody.
I heard you say you like them, so I got you some.
Chocolate sweeties?
Well now, you guessed.
Thank you Matthew.
Humph, it'll ruin her teeth and stomach.
You'd better have brought peppermints. They're wholesomer.
There, there, don't look so dismal, Anne.
You can eat those, since Matthew has gone and got them.
Don't sicken yourself eating all them at once now.
Oh, no, indeed, I won't. I'll just eat one tonight.
And I can give Diana half of them, can't I?
The other half will taste twice as sweet to me if I give some to her.
It's delightful to think I have something to give her.
Thank you so much, Matthew.
I will say it for the child.
She isn't stingy.
I'm glad, for of all faults I detest stinginess in a child.
Dear me, it's only three weeks since she came
and it seems as if she'd been here always.
I can't imagine the place without her.
Now, don't be looking I told-you-so, Matthew.
That's bad enough in a woman, but it isn't to be endured in a man.
Anne felt like this was the happiest day in all her life.
In the deep forest full of flowers, Anne and Diana spent a happy day together.
