»TODAY« – SNOW WHITE (piano draft)

 

REF
The beautiful sun is shining for me – today.
The gentle wind is blowing for me – today.
The lovely birds are singing for me – today.
How nice and friendly they all are to me.

The colorful flowers are fragrant for me – today.
The trees are rustling so softly for me – today.
The infinite sky protects me – today.
How nice and friendly they all are to me.

STR
But me, how wretched am I!
But me, how unworthy am I!
I work in the dirt, I wear only rags.
Will anyone ever love me like that?

I feel ashamed of the way I look.
I’m embarrassed of how I dressed.
People will certainly look down on me.
And yet, every day I wait – for him…

REF
The beautiful sun is shining for me – today.
The gentle wind is blowing for me – today.
The lovely birds are singing for me – today.
How nice and friendly they all are to me.

The colorful flowers are fragrant for me – today.
The trees are rustling so softly for me – today.
The infinite sky protects me – today.
How nice and friendly they all are to me.

Will the one who likes me,
will the one who loves me come – today?

MIRROR – QUEEN and MIRROR (piano draft)

You were fairest in the land.
But today, I answer true,
Snow White is more fair than you.

MARCH OF THE SEVEN DWARFS – SEVEN DWARFS (piano draft)

 

1. STR
Seven dwarfs in a row
after work home we go.
Gray the beard, red the hood,
so we march through the wood.
Singing out our cherished song,
and the birds all sing along:

REF
Day by day, year by year,
in the mines, without fear,
our task is clear:
Digging silver, digging gold!
Hou! Ha! Hou! Ha!
Strike of hammers sevenfold:
Hou! Ha! Hou! Ha!
Though we are old,
we are bold!

2. STR
Seven dwarfs, just one goal:
stand together is our role.
Sharing all that we own,
never leave a dwarf alone.
All for one and one for all.
Unified we chant our call:

REF
Day by day, year by year,
in the mines, without fear,
our task is clear:
Digging silver, digging gold!
Hou! Ha! Hou! Ha!
Strike of hammers sevenfold:
Hou! Ha! Hou! Ha!
Though we are old,
we are bold!

 

DANCING LESSON – SNOW WHITE and SEVEN DWARFS (piano draft)

 

1. STR
Now, come on, don’t be shy,
let us give the dance a try.
Dancing makes you young and pretty.
Not to try would be a pity.

First a step, then a turn,
this is what you quickly learn.
After that, just feel free,
move your body with esprit.

Put your soul into your feet,
then they will obey the beat.

REF
Dancing! Dancing! We love dancing!
In the rhythm’s fervent play
we give our hearts away!
Dancing! Dancing!
How – entrancing!

2. STR
The effects of the dance
you will notice at first glance.
Moving at the music’s measure
gives you soon the greatest pleasure.

You feel good, you feel strong,
therefore nothing can go wrong.
And the mood binds your brain
in an enigmatic chain.

All your pain will disappear
while you are in dance’s sphere.

REF
Dancing! Dancing! We love dancing!
In the rhythm’s fervent play
we give our hearts away!
Dancing! Dancing!
How – entrancing!

 

»POISON« – QUEEN (piano draft)

 

1. STR
Poison will solve the problem.
Poison will make me great again.
I will flatter you – and I will poison you.
Magic will be the solution.

A toxic apple will do the job.
A toxic apple will put you to sleep.
One side in beautiful red, the other in dull green.
You will make the fatal choice.

REF
I will destroy you – as you have destroyed me.
My ruse is stronger than your innocence.
The final battle is the decisive battle:
Never again will my mirror speak of you.

2. STR
I know the secret formula.
I have all the ingredients.
I will mix them – and I will boil them.
Magic will be the solution.

I will put all my pride into it.
I will add all of my jealousy.
Flavored with vanity, spiced with hatred:
The effect of the drug will be fatal.

REF
I will destroy you – as you have destroyed me.
My ruse is stronger than your innocence.
The final battle is the decisive battle:
Never again will my mirror speak of you.
