In front of you, ladies and gentlemen, the famous mermaid
The way she was written by the great Hans Christian Andersen
in a story of love
Ladies and gentlemen, in the time of Anderson, love still existed.
These stupid people! They think love exists, and mermaids don't!
But you and I know it's the exact opposite!
Love doesn't exist, and mermaids do.
They live at the bottom of the sea in a crystal palace.
When they turn 15, they are allowed to swim to the surface and see the world.
And when this particular mermaid hit 15...
Goodbye
He is handsome and so brave!
He should not perish!
Your ship sank, and you alone did not give in to fate.
Drop by drop , let your vitality return
The beautiful should not perish
The brave should not perish.
They should not, they should not die
My God! I've recognized him! It's the prince...
Prince!
Yes ladies and gentlemen, this was love.
Love at first sight
A beautiful and hopeless love
Yet the mermaid did not even know the word love.
And so, this naive mermaid thought of a plan
What did you see?
Nothing
Nothing?
What about the winter flowers on the shore of the sea?
Or the birds in the sky?
Or the snow covered mountains?
I saw nothing...
...only him.
Did you not meet the fleet-footed stallions,
Just sit and they'll take you to faraway lands?
Did you not see the colourful lights?
I saw nothing
only him.
I saw nothing...
only him!
Hello, madam witch
You saw nothing, only him...HaHAHAH
How did you know?
I know everything
There has been a case like yours before,
with your great-great-great-grandmother.
She also fell in love with a human,
and wanted to become like a human.
Well, I made her a magical potion,
and she got, instead of her glorious fish tail,
These ridiculous supports, which humans call "legs".
But beware, you will never be able to return to the sea.
Let it be.
And if your prince weds someone else,
your heart will be thorn into pieces
and you will turn into sea foam!
Let it be.
And for this magical potion, I will take your best quality.
You have a very beautiful voice...
so it is your voice I will take!
Let it be!
Your legs will run here and there on a dark path!
Do you still want this?
Yes, yes, yes!
And with every step pain with every step pain,
with no voice to scream with, what tragedy!
Do you still want this?
Yet, yes, yes!
And next, ladies and gentlemen, happened the most wonderful thing,
The mermaid met her prince.
Who are you, maiden?
Who?
You resemble her, who saved my life...
As if through a dream I remember the face and the smile,
and especially the song, the magical song,
that she sang.
But maybe , you are not her?
You are silent
But still you are beautiful.
If only you knew, that I sacrificed my voice,
to see you...
to be with you, my prince
My father has written to me.
For some reason I must travel to the neighbouring kingdom,
and present myself to the princess and king.
Well, I suppose I can present myself,
but of course, I only need you, my wonder.
Come with me!
What a storm it was.
Everyone died, except me.
I still can't understand how I managed to survive.
Princess! He's already here.
He is coming up the stairs
Princess! Princess! Hurry up, you aren't even dressed yet!
Princess! Princess!
Come quickly, the king says the prince is here!
Hello, prince.
It's you!
Yes, I see now, it's you!
There on the wild shore of the sea,
you saved my life.
You found me, remember?
And now we've found her! Aren't you very glad?
If your prince weds another,
your heart will be thorn to pieces,
and you will turn into sea foam!
She is like a sister to me.
She is an exquisite creature, although mute.
Tell me, darling, what was the song that you sang,
on that morning you saved my life?
Did I sing? I don't remember.
Sister! Sister! Listen sister, we know everything!
We gave madame witch everything we had.
Our jewels and out crowns, we gave out amber palace,
and our lustrous braids, we gave everything,
only to prevent your death.
Madame witch sends you this potion,
Be careful! It contains a storm, and before sunrise,
you must open it, and the storm will burst forth.
It will sink this ship, the prince, and the princess.
Only with such a price may you become a mermaid again!
But hurry! Either they must die or you!
There is no other way, but hurry!
Soon the sun will rise and you will turn into sea foam!
Hurry!
My sister! Where are you?
Where are you?
The surf beats against the black rocks,
But drop by drop your vitality will return,
The first drop will be strength,
Happiness will be the second.
The beautiful should not perish,
The brave should not perish.
They should not, they should not die.
So I see you must have remembered that song after all...
And that, my children, is how the story ends.
That naive mermaid wanted to become a human,
Yet she had no words to tell who she was so she only could utter her sadness in tears.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a very sorrowful tale,
sorrowful, yet beautiful,
a tale of love that knows no obstacles,
of wisdom, and kindness.
