00:13En haut de la ville, sur une grande colonne, se trouvait la statue du prince heureux.
00:19Il avait des fleurs d'or très fines.
00:24Pour les yeux, il avait deux sapphires brillants.
00:28Et un grand rubis rouge brillait dans son saut.
00:49Musique classique
00:59Stop this crying.
01:01Look, why can't you be like the happy prince?
01:05He never dreams of crying for anything.
01:08Make way, make way for his Majesty the Mayor.
01:11Musique classique
01:17Why? On my soul, it is a little lamb.
01:22How can you cry so much in my beautiful city?
01:27Is not the happy prince smiling down upon you?
01:31N'est?
01:33The happy prince looks so beautiful.
01:36He looks just like an angel.

01:49The happy prince looks so beautiful.
01:52He looks just like an angel.
01:55Musique classique
02:07The statue of the happy prince must surely be the finest in all Christendom.
02:12I doubt if I could have designed a better one myself.
02:16Musique classique
02:21A chill northern wind blew across the square.
02:25Musique classique
02:27The autumn was about to return.
02:30In the countryside, the peasants had finished the harvest
02:34and the change in wind told the swallows
02:37that it would soon be time to leave for Egypt.

03:20Musique classique
03:38One little swallow was not interested in leaving
03:42but he had fallen in love with a most beautiful reed.
03:47Musique classique
03:50See how agile I am.
03:52Look at me.
03:54Musique classique
03:57Say you love me.
03:59Musique classique
04:00The reed would nod and bow
04:03and make the most beautiful curtsies
04:06for that was all she could do in the wind.
04:09Musique classique
04:35Musique classique
04:43Finally the trees shed their leaves.
04:46It was the sign that autumn had at last come
04:49and they all flew away.
04:52Musique classique
05:00Several weeks passed and the little swallow felt quite lonely
05:04and began to tire of his lady love.
05:07Musique classique
05:25The reed shook her head.
05:27She was so attached to her home.
05:29You have been trifling with me.
05:31Well, you shan't see me again.
05:33I am off to the pyramids.
05:35Goodbye.
05:37Musique classique
05:41All day long the little swallow flew.
05:45Musique classique
05:48By night time he arrived at the city.
05:51Musique classique
06:02Where shall I stay tonight?
06:04I hope the town has made preparations.
06:07Musique classique
06:17Such a fine position
06:19with plenty of fresh air
06:21and I have a golden bedroom.
06:24Musique classique
06:26What's that?
06:28Musique classique
06:36He looks so beautiful in the moonlight.
06:39Surely he is the most handsome of all princes.
06:43Musique classique
06:45Me? A handsome prince?
06:47Why? Of course!
06:49Meow!
06:51Good night, my happy prince.
06:55Good night?
06:57Oh, good night!
06:59Uh, princess?
07:03What's that?
07:06What a curious thing.
07:09There is not a cloud in the sky.
07:12The stars are quite clear and bright
07:15and yet it is raining.
07:17What a dreadful climate.
07:20What is the use of a statue
07:22if it cannot keep the rain off?
07:24I must find myself a good chimney pot.
07:27Musique classique
07:37Who are you?
07:39I am the happy prince.
07:42Well, if you're so happy,
07:45why are you weeping?
07:47You have quite drenched me.
07:49When I was alive and had a human heart,
07:52I did not know what tears were
07:55for I lived in the palace of Sanssouci
07:58where sorrow is not allowed to enter.
08:02In the daytime, I played with my companions
08:04in the garden and in the evening
08:06I led them to the garden
08:08with my companions in the garden
08:10and in the evening I led the dance
08:12in the great hall.
08:14Round the garden was a very lofty wall
08:17but I never cared to ask what lay beyond it.
08:20Everything about me was so beautiful.
08:23My courtiers called me the happy prince
08:27and happy indeed I was,
08:29if pleasure be happiness.
08:31So I lived and so I died
08:34and now that I am dead
08:36what kept me here so high
08:38I can see all the ugliness and misery of my city
08:41and though my heart is made of lead
08:44I cannot choose but weep.
08:47What? Is he not solid gold?
08:50Far away in a little street there is a poor house.
08:56One of the windows is open and through it
08:58I can see a woman seated at a table.
09:00Her face is thin and worn
09:02and she has coarse red hands all pricked by the needle
09:05She is a seamstress.
09:06She is embroidering a satin gown
09:08for the loveliest of the queen's maids of honor
09:10to wear at the next court ball.
09:14In the corner of the room a little boy is lying in.
09:17He has a fever and is asking for oranges
09:20but his mother has nothing to give him but river water.
09:26Swallow, swallow, little swallow
09:29will you not bring her the ruby out of my sword hilt?
09:33My feet are fastened to this pedestal
09:36and I cannot move.
09:38But I have no time.
09:40I must leave for Egypt.
09:42My friends are flying along the Nile at this very moment.
09:46Little swallow, will you not stay with me
09:50for one night and be my messenger?
09:53The little boy is so thirsty
09:56and his mother so sad.
09:58I don't think I like boys.
10:00They always throw stones at me.
10:03They never hit me of course.
10:05We swallows fly far too well for that.
10:09Besides, I come from a family famous for its agility.
10:19It's very cold here
10:21but I will stay for one night and be your messenger.
10:33I do hope my gown will be ready in time for the state ball
10:37but the seamstresses are so lazy and unreliable.
11:02THE END
12:03Lorsque la journée s'est terminée,
12:05le petit swallow s'est emporté vers la rivière pour se baigner.
12:11Quelle phénomène remarquable !
12:13Un swallow en hiver,
12:15disait le professeur de ornithologie
12:17en passant par le pont.
12:19Ce soir, je vais à l'Égypte !
12:22Ce soir, je vais à l'Égypte !
12:27Lorsqu'il est allé, les oiseaux ont dit
12:30« Quel étranger distingué ! »
12:33Il s'est donc bien amusé.
12:42Vous avez des commissions en Égypte ?
12:45Je viens de commencer.
12:47Le petit swallow s'est emporté vers la rivière pour se baigner.
12:51Je vois un jeune homme,
12:53loin de la ville,
12:55dans un garage.
12:57Il essaie de finir un rôle
12:59pour le directeur du théâtre,
13:02mais il n'a plus l'air d'écrire.
13:05Il n'y a pas de feu dans la rivière,
13:08et le faim l'a fait mourir.
13:11Je vais rester une nuit plus.
13:14Je vais lui prendre un rubis ?
13:17A la fin, mes yeux sont tout ce qu'il me reste.
13:20Ils sont faits de très rares sapphires.
13:23Prends-en un et prends-le lui,
13:26pour qu'il puisse le vendre pour du bois et finir son rôle.
13:30Mais je ne peux pas faire ça !
13:33Petit swallow, fais ce que je te demande.
13:51Comment ai-je oublié un cadeau si précieux ?
13:54Il doit être d'un grand admirateur.
13:57Maintenant, je peux finir mon rôle.
14:00Il fait froid.
14:03C'est l'heure de partir.
14:21Tonight, I fly to Egypt.
14:25Goodbye.
14:28I am off to Egypt.
14:33Goodbye, little sparrow.
14:40I have come to bid you goodbye.
14:43Little swallow, will you not stay a little longer ?
14:48But it is winter and the snow will soon be here.
14:52I must leave you, but I will never forget you.
14:56And next spring, I will bring you two beautiful jewels
15:00in place of those you have given away.
15:03The rubis shall be redder than a red rose
15:06and the sapphire shall be as blue as the great sea.
15:10In the square below, there stands a little match girl.
15:14She has let her matches fall in the gutter
15:17and they are all spoiled.
15:19Her family is very poor and her father will beat her
15:22if she doesn't bring home some money.
15:25Pluck out my other eye and give it to her
15:28and her father will not beat her.
15:31I will stay with you a little longer,
15:34but I cannot pluck out your other eye.
15:37You will be quite blind then.
15:40Little swallow, do as I ask of you.
15:48Oh, what a beautiful piece of glass.
15:51I must show it to my father.
15:58You are blind now,
16:01so I will stay with you, always.
16:06No, little swallow.
16:08You must go away to Egypt.
16:13As the days passed,
16:15the little swallow never left the prince's side.
16:18He sat on his shoulders
16:20and told him many stories of what he had seen in strange lands.
16:24He told him of the red ibises
16:26that stand on the banks of the Nile
16:28and catch goldfish.
16:30He told him of the goldfish
16:32that live on the banks of the Nile.
16:35He told him of the goldfish
16:37that live on the banks of the Nile.
16:40He told him of the goldfish
16:42that live on the banks of the Nile
16:44and catch goldfish in their beaks.
16:47And of the king of the mountains of the moon
16:50who is as black as ebony
16:52and worships a large crystal.
16:54Dear little swallow,
16:57you tell of marvelous things,
17:00but more marvelous than anything
17:03is the suffering of men and women.
17:08Fly over my city, little swallow,
17:11and tell me what you see there.
17:15Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17:23Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17:31Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17:35The city streets are sad and dreary
17:43Why are the people in despair?
17:51Their clothes are torn, their eyes open wide
17:59Poverty is everywhere
18:06And the rich just ignore it
18:11And they don't care
18:15And they don't care
18:24The children huddle close together
18:32Ragged and torn, their feet are bare
18:40They bravely face the wintry weather
18:48There's no farsight they can share
18:55And the rich just ignore them
19:00And they don't care
19:04Where is the justice in all that I see?
19:12There is no justice in poverty
19:25And so the little swallow flew back to the happy prince
19:28and told him what he had seen.
19:31I am covered with fine gold
19:33You must take it off leaf by leaf
19:36and give it to my poor
19:38The living always think that gold can make them happy
20:03And so the little swallow flew back to the happy prince
20:06and told him what he had seen.
20:09I am covered with fine gold
20:13You must take it off leaf by leaf
20:16and give it to my poor
20:19The living always think that gold can make them happy
20:22The living always think that gold can make them happy
20:25The living always think that gold can make them happy
20:29Leaf after leaf of the fine gold the swallow picked off
20:33till the happy prince looked quite dull and grey
20:38Leaf after leaf of the fine gold he brought to the poor
20:44And the children's faces grew rosier
20:48And they laughed and played games in the street
20:53Then the snow came
20:58After the snow came the frost
21:03And the streets looked as if they were made of silver
21:07They were so bright and glistening
21:10Long icicles like crystal daggers hung from the eaves
21:16And everybody went about in furs
21:29Goodbye, dear prince
21:33Will you let me kiss your hand?
21:38I am glad that you are going to Egypt at last, little swallow
21:41You've stayed here too long
21:43But you must kiss me on the lips
21:46For I love you
21:48It is not to Egypt I am going
21:54A curious crack sounded inside the statue
21:57as if something had broken
21:59The fact is the leaden heart had snapped right in two
22:03It certainly was a dreadfully hard frost
22:24My dear, how shabby the happy prince looks
22:28Shabby, shabby, terrible, dreadful
22:31The ruby has fallen from his sword
22:34His eyes have gone and he is golden no longer
22:38In fact, he is little better than a beggar
22:43Little better than a beggar
22:47And there is actually a dead bird at his feet
22:51We must issue a proclamation
22:53that birds are not allowed to die here
22:58Birds are not allowed to die here
23:07As he is no longer beautiful, he is no longer useful
23:11Our city needs a new statue
23:14and I shall ask for the privilege of designing it
23:21So they pulled down the statue of the happy prince
23:25and melted it down in a furnace
23:28The mayor held a meeting of the corporation
23:30to decide what was to be done with the metal
23:33I would consider it a privilege to design a new statue
23:41Of course you can
23:43And it shall be a statue of myself
23:52What a strange thing
23:54This broken lead art will not melt in my furnace
23:58We'll have to throw it away
24:01And so they threw it on a dust heap
24:04where the dead swallow was also lying
24:11Bring me the two most precious things in the city
24:15said God to one of his angels
24:19And the angel brought him the leaden heart and the dead bird
24:24You have rightly chosen, said God
24:27For in my garden of paradise, this little bird shall sing forevermore
24:32And in my city of gold, the happy prince shall praise me
24:48To be continued...
