  • 1:42 - 1:46
    In front of you, ladies and gentlemen,
    is the famous little mermaid
  • 1:46 - 1:53
    The way she was written by the great Hans Christian Andersen
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    in a tale of love
  • 1:55 - 2:07
    Yes, ladies and gentlemen, in the good old times
    of Anderson, love still existed.
  • 2:07 - 2:16
    These stupid people! They think love exists, and mermaids don't!
  • 2:16 - 2:22
    But you and I know it's the exact opposite!
  • 2:22 - 2:28
    Love doesn't exist, and mermaids do.
  • 2:28 - 2:35
    They live at the bottom of the sea in a crystal palace.
  • 2:35 - 2:43
    When they turn 15, they are allowed to swim to the surface and see the world.
  • 2:43 - 5:37
    And when this particular mermaid had her sweet 15, so to say...
  • 5:37 - 6:21
    Goodbye
  • 6:21 - 6:25
    He is handsome and so brave!
  • 6:25 - 7:24
    He should not perish!
  • 7:24 - 7:37
    Your ship sank, and you alone
    did not give in to fate.
  • 7:37 - 8:07
    Drop by drop , let your vitality return
  • 8:07 - 8:09
    The first drop will be strength.
  • 8:09 - 8:09
    Joy will be the second drop.
  • 8:09 - 8:10
    The beautiful should not perish
  • 8:10 - 8:14
    The brave should not perish.
  • 8:14 - 9:01
    They should not, they should not die
  • 9:01 - 9:09
    My God! I've recognized him! It's the prince...
  • 9:09 - 9:48
    Prince!
  • 9:48 - 9:56
    Yes ladies and gentlemen, this was love.
  • 9:56 - 9:59
    Love at first sight
  • 9:59 - 10:02
    A beautiful and hopeless love
  • 10:02 - 10:09
    Yet the mermaid did not even know the word "love".
  • 10:09 - 10:38
    And so, kids, this naive mermaid thought of a plan
  • 10:38 - 10:41
    What did you see?
  • 10:41 - 10:43
    Nothing
  • 10:43 - 10:46
    Nothing?
  • 10:46 - 10:51
    What about the earthly flowers on the shore of the sea?
  • 10:51 - 10:55
    Or the birds in the sky?
  • 10:55 - 10:58
    Or the snow covered mountains?
  • 10:58 - 11:01
    I saw nothing...
  • 11:01 - 11:05
    ...only him.
  • 11:05 - 11:09
    Did you not meet the fleet-footed stallions,
  • 11:09 - 11:12
    Just sit and they'll take you to faraway lands?
  • 11:12 - 11:20
    Did you not see the colourful lights?
  • 11:20 - 11:24
    I saw nothing
  • 11:24 - 11:47
    only him.
  • 11:47 - 11:51
    I saw nothing...
  • 11:51 - 12:16
    Only him!
  • 12:16 - 12:19
    Hello, madam witch
  • 12:19 - 12:26
    You saw nothing, only him...HaHAHAH
  • 12:26 - 12:28
    How did you know?
  • 12:28 - 12:37
    I know everything
  • 12:37 - 12:41
    There has been a case like yours before,
  • 12:41 - 12:44
    with your great-great-great-grandmother.
  • 12:44 - 12:47
    She also fell in love with a human,
  • 12:47 - 12:51
    and wanted to become like a human.
  • 12:51 - 12:55
    Well, I made her a magical potion,
  • 12:55 - 13:03
    and she got, instead of her glorious fish tail,
  • 13:03 - 13:15
    These ridiculous supports, which humans call "legs".
  • 13:15 - 13:26
    But beware, you will never be able to return to the bottom of the sea, to your crystal palace.
  • 13:26 - 13:28
    Let it be.
  • 13:28 - 13:32
    And if your prince weds someone else,
  • 13:32 - 13:36
    by the next dawn your heart will be thorn into pieces
  • 13:36 - 13:40
    and you will turn into sea foam!
  • 13:40 - 13:42
    Let it be.
  • 13:42 - 13:52
    And for this magical potion,
    I will take your best quality.
  • 13:52 - 14:00
    You have a very beautiful voice...
  • 14:00 - 14:04
    so it is your voice I will take!
  • 14:04 - 14:07
    Let it be!
  • 14:07 - 14:16
    Mm, legs, oh legs, they run on the earthly path, they run here and there!
  • 14:16 - 14:18
    You want this?
  • 14:18 - 14:20
    Yes, yes, yes!
  • 14:20 - 14:32
    But the legs, they will feel like knives are cutting them...
    Every step is pain, every step is pain!
  • 14:32 - 14:39
    With no voice to scream with, what tragedy!
  • 14:39 - 14:42
    You want this?!
  • 14:42 - 14:57
    Yes, yes, yes!
  • 14:57 - 15:07
    And next, ladies and gentlemen, happens the most wonderful thing,
  • 15:07 - 15:19
    The mermaid met her prince.
  • 15:19 - 15:25
    Who are you, maiden?
  • 15:25 - 15:29
    Who?
  • 15:29 - 15:38
    You resemble her, who saved my life...
  • 15:38 - 15:49
    As if through a dream I remember the face and the smile,
  • 15:49 - 15:58
    and especially the song...
  • 15:58 - 16:06
    the magical song, that she sang.
  • 16:06 - 16:12
    But maybe, you are not her?
  • 16:12 - 16:17
    You are not speaking...
  • 16:17 - 16:30
    You are mute! But no! Still you are beautiful.
  • 16:30 - 16:35
    If only you knew, that I sacrificed my voice,
  • 16:35 - 16:37
    to see you...
  • 16:37 - 17:56
    to hear you, to be with you, my prince!
  • 17:56 - 18:00
    My father has written to me.
  • 18:00 - 18:06
    For some reason I must travel
    to the neighbouring kingdom,
  • 18:06 - 18:10
    and present myself to
    the princess and king.
  • 18:10 - 18:16
    Well, I suppose I can present myself,
  • 18:16 - 18:22
    but of course,
    I only need you, my wonder.
  • 18:22 - 18:28
    Only you!
  • 18:28 - 18:31
    What a storm it was!
  • 18:31 - 18:35
    Everyone died, but me.
  • 18:35 - 19:12
    I still can't understand how
    I managed to survive.
  • 19:12 - 19:21
    Princess! He's already here.
  • 19:21 - 19:28
    He is coming up the stairs
  • 19:28 - 20:31
    Princess! Princess! Hurry up, you aren't even dressed yet!
  • 20:31 - 20:34
    Princess! Princess!
  • 20:34 - 21:00
    Come quickly, the king says your fiance is here!
  • 21:00 - 21:06
    Hello, prince.
  • 21:06 - 21:10
    It's you!
  • 21:10 - 21:16
    Yes, I see now, it's you!
  • 21:16 - 21:18
    There on the wild shore of the sea,
  • 21:18 - 21:21
    you saved my life.
  • 21:21 - 21:27
    You found me, remember?
  • 21:27 - 21:48
    And now we've found her! Aren't you glad?
  • 21:51 - 21:53
    If you prince weds another,
  • 21:53 - 21:56
    by the next dawn your heart will be thorn to pieces,
  • 21:56 - 22:09
    and you will turn into sea foam!
  • 22:09 - 22:11
    She is like a sister to me.
  • 22:11 - 22:19
    She is an exquisite creature,
    though mute.
  • 22:19 - 22:25
    Tell me, darling, what was the song that you sang,
  • 22:25 - 22:28
    on that morning you saved my life?
  • 22:28 - 22:42
    Did I sing? I don't remember.
  • 22:42 - 22:49
    Sister! Sister! Listen sister,
    we know everything!
  • 22:49 - 22:54
    We gave madame witch everything we had.
  • 22:54 - 22:59
    Our jewels and out crowns, we gave out amber palace,
  • 22:59 - 23:03
    and our lustrous braids, we gave everything,
  • 23:03 - 23:06
    only to prevent your death.
  • 23:06 - 23:12
    Madame witch sends you this
  • 23:12 - 23:18
    Be careful! It contains a storm,
    and before sunrise,
  • 23:18 - 23:23
    you must open it, and the storm will burst forth.
  • 23:23 - 23:28
    It will sink this ship, the prince, and the princess.
  • 23:28 - 23:33
    Only with such a price may
    you become a mermaid again!
  • 23:33 - 23:39
    But hurry! Either they must die or you!
  • 23:39 - 23:44
    There is no other way, but hurry!
  • 23:44 - 23:49
    Soon the sun will rise and you will turn into sea foam!
  • 23:49 - 24:36
    Hurry!
  • 24:36 - 24:43
    My sister! Where are you?
  • 24:43 - 24:50
    Where are you?
  • 24:50 - 25:00
    The surf beats against the black rocks,
    The life is hard for humans, this everlasting struggle.
  • 25:00 - 25:13
    But I believe, drop by drop your vitality will return,
  • 25:13 - 25:23
    The first drop will be strength,
  • 25:23 - 25:32
    The second drop will be joy
  • 25:32 - 25:35
    The beautiful should not perish,
  • 25:35 - 25:39
    The brave should not perish.
  • 25:39 - 25:54
    They should not, they should not die.
  • 25:54 - 26:15
    So I see you have remembered the song after all...
  • 26:15 - 26:23
    And that, my children, is how the story ends.
  • 26:23 - 26:29
    The foolish mermaid wanted to become a human,
  • 26:29 - 26:40
    but as they say, everyone should know their place.
  • 26:40 - 26:47
    This, ladies and gentlemen, is a very sorrowful tale,
  • 26:47 - 26:54
    sorrowful, yet beautiful,
  • 26:54 - 27:00
    a tale of love that knows no bounds,
  • 27:00 - 27:06
    The tale of courage and kindness.
  • 27:06 - 27:25
    of wisdom, and kindness.
  • 27:25 - 27:29
    The end
