0:01:42.002,0:01:46.049
In front of you, ladies and gentlemen,[br]is the famous little mermaid

0:01:46.049,0:01:53.028
The way she was written by the great Hans Christian Andersen

0:01:53.028,0:01:54.891
in a tale of love

0:01:54.941,0:02:07.063
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, in the good old times [br]of Anderson, love still existed.

0:02:07.063,0:02:16.065
These stupid people! They think love exists, and mermaids don't!

0:02:16.065,0:02:22.044
But you and I know it's the exact opposite!

0:02:22.044,0:02:28.029
Love doesn't exist, and mermaids do.

0:02:28.029,0:02:35.093
They live at the bottom of the sea in a crystal palace.

0:02:35.093,0:02:43.047
When they turn 15, they are allowed to swim to the surface and see the world.

0:02:43.097,0:05:37.054
And when this particular mermaid had her sweet 15, so to say...

0:05:37.054,0:06:21.058
Goodbye

0:06:21.058,0:06:25.066
He is handsome and so brave!

0:06:25.066,0:07:24.035
He should not perish!

0:07:24.035,0:07:37.047
Your ship sank, and you alone[br]did not give in to fate.

0:07:37.047,0:08:07.077
Drop by drop , let your vitality return

0:08:07.077,0:08:08.580
The first drop will be strength.

0:08:08.580,0:08:09.331
Joy will be the second drop.

0:08:09.331,0:08:10.083
The beautiful should not perish

0:08:10.083,0:08:14.016
The brave should not perish.

0:08:14.016,0:09:01.078
They should not, they should not die

0:09:01.078,0:09:09.058
My God! I've recognized him! It's the prince...

0:09:09.058,0:09:48.087
Prince!

0:09:48.087,0:09:56.048
Yes ladies and gentlemen, this was love.

0:09:56.048,0:09:59.008
Love at first sight

0:09:59.008,0:10:02.019
A beautiful and hopeless love

0:10:02.019,0:10:09.051
Yet the mermaid did not even know the word "love".

0:10:09.051,0:10:38.043
And so, kids, this naive mermaid thought of a plan

0:10:38.043,0:10:41.084
What did you see?

0:10:41.084,0:10:43.093
Nothing

0:10:43.093,0:10:46.037
Nothing?

0:10:46.037,0:10:51.071
What about the earthly flowers on the shore of the sea?

0:10:51.071,0:10:55.002
Or the birds in the sky?

0:10:55.002,0:10:58.049
Or the snow covered mountains?

0:10:58.049,0:11:01.097
I saw nothing...

0:11:01.097,0:11:05.003
...only him.

0:11:05.003,0:11:09.054
Did you not meet the fleet-footed stallions,

0:11:09.054,0:11:12.097
Just sit and they'll take you to faraway lands?

0:11:12.097,0:11:20.058
Did you not see the colourful lights?

0:11:20.058,0:11:24.019
I saw nothing

0:11:24.019,0:11:47.046
only him.

0:11:47.046,0:11:51.011
I saw nothing...

0:11:51.011,0:12:16.017
Only him!

0:12:16.017,0:12:19.000
Hello, madam witch

0:12:19.000,0:12:26.027
You saw nothing, only him...HaHAHAH

0:12:26.027,0:12:28.012
How did you know?

0:12:28.012,0:12:37.034
I know everything

0:12:37.034,0:12:41.004
There has been a case like yours before,

0:12:41.004,0:12:44.005
with your great-great-great-grandmother.

0:12:44.005,0:12:47.028
She also fell in love with a human,

0:12:47.028,0:12:51.029
and wanted to become like a human.

0:12:51.029,0:12:55.081
Well, I made her a magical potion,

0:12:55.081,0:13:03.046
and she got, instead of her glorious fish tail,

0:13:03.046,0:13:15.056
These ridiculous supports, which humans call "legs".

0:13:15.056,0:13:26.056
But beware, you will never be able to return to the bottom of the sea, to your crystal palace.

0:13:26.056,0:13:28.079
Let it be.

0:13:28.079,0:13:32.059
And if your prince weds someone else,

0:13:32.059,0:13:36.013
by the next dawn your heart will be thorn into pieces

0:13:36.013,0:13:40.016
and you will turn into sea foam!

0:13:40.016,0:13:42.002
Let it be.

0:13:42.002,0:13:52.063
And for this magical potion,[br]I will take your best quality.

0:13:52.063,0:14:00.004
You have a very beautiful voice...

0:14:00.004,0:14:04.077
so it is your voice I will take!

0:14:04.077,0:14:07.035
Let it be!

0:14:07.035,0:14:16.081
Mm, legs, oh legs, they run on the earthly path, they run here and there!

0:14:16.081,0:14:18.053
You want this?

0:14:18.053,0:14:20.053
Yes, yes, yes!

0:14:20.053,0:14:32.089
But the legs, they will feel like knives are cutting them...[br]Every step is pain, every step is pain!

0:14:32.089,0:14:39.063
With no voice to scream with, what tragedy!

0:14:39.063,0:14:42.028
You want this?!

0:14:42.028,0:14:57.009
Yes, yes, yes!

0:14:57.009,0:15:07.029
And next, ladies and gentlemen, happens the most wonderful thing,

0:15:07.029,0:15:19.092
The mermaid met her prince.

0:15:19.092,0:15:25.053
Who are you, maiden?

0:15:25.053,0:15:29.038
Who?

0:15:29.038,0:15:38.063
You resemble her, who saved my life...

0:15:38.063,0:15:49.007
As if through a dream I remember the face and the smile,

0:15:49.007,0:15:58.067
and especially the song...

0:15:58.067,0:16:06.024
the magical song, that she sang.

0:16:06.024,0:16:12.022
But maybe, you are not her?

0:16:12.022,0:16:17.044
You are not speaking...

0:16:17.044,0:16:30.026
You are mute! But no! Still you are beautiful.

0:16:30.026,0:16:35.035
If only you knew, that I sacrificed my voice,

0:16:35.035,0:16:37.055
to see you...

0:16:37.055,0:17:56.063
to hear you, to be with you, my prince!

0:17:56.063,0:18:00.048
My father has written to me.

0:18:00.048,0:18:06.011
For some reason I must travel[br]to the neighbouring kingdom,

0:18:06.011,0:18:10.026
and present myself to[br]the princess and king.

0:18:10.026,0:18:16.096
Well, I suppose I can present myself,

0:18:16.096,0:18:22.001
but of course, [br]I only need you, my wonder.

0:18:22.001,0:18:28.024
Only you!

0:18:28.024,0:18:31.053
What a storm it was!

0:18:31.053,0:18:35.071
Everyone died, but me.

0:18:35.071,0:19:12.003
I still can't understand how[br]I managed to survive.

0:19:12.003,0:19:21.055
Princess! He's already here.

0:19:21.055,0:19:28.006
He is coming up the stairs

0:19:28.006,0:20:31.043
Princess! Princess! Hurry up, you aren't even dressed yet!

0:20:31.043,0:20:34.096
Princess! Princess!

0:20:34.096,0:21:00.009
Come quickly, the king says your fiance is here!

0:21:00.009,0:21:06.067
Hello, prince.

0:21:06.067,0:21:10.000
It's you!

0:21:10.000,0:21:16.044
Yes, I see now, it's you!

0:21:16.044,0:21:18.008
There on the wild shore of the sea,

0:21:18.008,0:21:21.014
you saved my life.

0:21:21.014,0:21:27.046
You found me, remember?

0:21:27.046,0:21:48.068
And now we've found her! Aren't you glad?

0:21:50.543,0:21:53.018
If you prince weds another,

0:21:53.018,0:21:56.053
by the next dawn your heart will be thorn to pieces,

0:21:56.053,0:22:09.012
and you will turn into sea foam!

0:22:09.012,0:22:11.087
She is like a sister to me.

0:22:11.087,0:22:19.002
She is an exquisite creature,[br]though mute.

0:22:19.002,0:22:25.032
Tell me, darling, what was the song that you sang,

0:22:25.032,0:22:28.002
on that morning you saved my life?

0:22:28.002,0:22:42.022
Did I sing? I don't remember.

0:22:42.022,0:22:49.066
Sister! Sister! Listen sister,[br]we know everything!

0:22:49.066,0:22:54.001
We gave madame witch everything we had.

0:22:54.001,0:22:59.007
Our jewels and out crowns, we gave out amber palace,

0:22:59.007,0:23:03.053
and our lustrous braids, we gave everything,

0:23:03.053,0:23:06.077
only to prevent your death.

0:23:06.077,0:23:12.074
Madame witch sends you this

0:23:12.074,0:23:18.085
Be careful! It contains a storm,[br]and before sunrise,

0:23:18.085,0:23:23.000
you must open it, and the storm will burst forth.

0:23:23.000,0:23:28.093
It will sink this ship, the prince, and the princess.

0:23:28.093,0:23:33.026
Only with such a price may [br]you become a mermaid again!

0:23:33.026,0:23:39.043
But hurry! Either they must die or you!

0:23:39.043,0:23:44.006
There is no other way, but hurry!

0:23:44.006,0:23:49.013
Soon the sun will rise and you will turn into sea foam!

0:23:49.013,0:24:36.062
Hurry!

0:24:36.062,0:24:43.065
My sister! Where are you?

0:24:43.065,0:24:50.078
Where are you?

0:24:50.078,0:25:00.001
The surf beats against the black rocks,[br]The life is hard for humans, this everlasting struggle.

0:25:00.001,0:25:13.046
But I believe, drop by drop your vitality will return,

0:25:13.046,0:25:23.026
The first drop will be strength,

0:25:23.026,0:25:32.067
The second drop will be joy

0:25:32.067,0:25:35.096
The beautiful should not perish,

0:25:35.096,0:25:39.005
The brave should not perish.

0:25:39.005,0:25:54.005
They should not, they should not die.

0:25:54.005,0:26:15.056
So I see you have remembered the song after all...

0:26:15.056,0:26:23.086
And that, my children, is how the story ends.

0:26:23.086,0:26:29.092
The foolish mermaid wanted to become a human,

0:26:29.092,0:26:40.039
but as they say, everyone should know their place.

0:26:40.039,0:26:47.058
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a very sorrowful tale,

0:26:47.058,0:26:54.034
sorrowful, yet beautiful,

0:26:54.034,0:27:00.038
a tale of love that knows no bounds,

0:27:00.038,0:27:06.088
The tale of courage and kindness.

0:27:06.088,0:27:25.062
of wisdom, and kindness.

0:27:25.062,0:27:29.062
