Ancora Vivo

I Am A Girl Like You

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
I’m savoring my first and last taste of freedom
Before getting married next week to a total stranger...

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
At least you’re not an indentured servant.

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
Indentured servant?

ERIKA:
If I'd like to have my breakfast hot
Madame Carp will make me pay
And I have to fetch the eggs myself
And the barn's a mile away
It's cold and wet and still I get
An omlette on my plate
But in my head I'm back in bed
Snuggled up and sleeping late

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
Really?

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
Really, but it’s alright. I mean, I’m used to it.
And you?

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
Well...

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
Well?

PRINCESS ANNELIESE:
If I want some eggs I ring the bell
And the maid comes running in
And she serves them on a silver tray
And she brings a cookie tin
And while I eat, she rubs my feet
And strolling minstrels play
But I'd rather be in my library reading science books all day

ERIKA:
I'm just like you

PRINCESS ANNELIESE:
You are?

ERIKA:
You're just like me
There's somewhere else we'd rather be
Somewhere that's ours
Somewhere that dreams come true
Yes, I am a girl like you

You'd never think that it was so
But now I've met you and I know
It's plain as day, sure as the sky is blue
That I am a girl like you

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
So! You’re a singer?

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
No, I work at Madame Carp’s penitentiary, uh, I mean Dress Emporium.

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
I love Madame Carp’s Dresses!

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
I made the one you’re wearing.

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
You made this? The design looks so complicated!

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
Oh, but it isn’t really...

ERIKA:
First I choose a fabric from the rack
And I pin the pattern down
And I stitch it in the front and back
And it turns into a gown

PRINCESS ANNELIESE:
I wear the gown, without my crown
And dance around my room

BOTH:
And imagine life without the strife of an unfamiliar groom

PRINCESS ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
But I’d never let my Mother know.
I wouldn’t want to disappoint her.

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
I completely understand.

PRINCESS ANNELIESE & (ERIKA):
I'm just like you (I think that's true)
You're just like me (Yes, I can see)

BOTH:
We take responsibility

PRINCESS ANNELIESE & (ERIKA):
We carry through (We carry through)

BOTH:
Do what we need to do
Yes, I am a girl like you

ERIKA & (PRINCESS ANNELIESE):
I'm just like you (I'm just like you)
You're just like me (You're just like me)

BOTH:
It's something anyone can see

ERIKA & (PRINCESS ANNELIESE):
A heart that beats (A heart that beats)

BOTH:
A voice that speaks the truth
Yes, I am a girl like you!

 

咳咳，过年回家的时候和我家大宝一起看了好多的芭比动画片，一开始很唾弃，后来看上瘾了

最喜欢公主和贫儿，里面的歌都很好听~~~努力学唱ing~~

 

Free

SCHEDULE MAN (SPOKEN):
Oh! We’re late, late, late!
We have 20, maximum 22 minutes, for your royal fitting.
And then it’s move, move, move to your speech at the historical society!
After that we have to rush, and I mean rush, to the horticultural society for tea.
Ugh... Then there's your math lessons, your geography lessons, your science lessons...

ANNELIESE:
All my life I've always wanted
To have one day just for me
Nothing to do and for once nowhere I need to be
With no lessons, lords, or lunches
Or to-do list in the way
No one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay
That would be the day

ERIKA:
All my life I've always wanted
To have one day for myself
Not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf
With no hems in need of pressing
And no sleeves in disarray
No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet
And no debt to pay

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
Huh! Madame Carp!

MADAME CARP (SPOKEN):
What do you think I’m running here, a cabaret?

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
I would have said a debtor’s prison.

MADAME CARP (SPOKEN):
Keep laughing, you’ll be working for me for another 37 years.

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
But I already paid off more then half!

MADAME CARP (SPOKEN):
But there’s interest isn’t there?
Your parents should have thought of that before they borrowed so much.

ERIKA (SPOKEN):
They did it to feed me!

MADAME CARP (SPOKEN):
Their mistake.

ERIKA:
What would it be like to be

PRINCESS ANNELIESE:
What would it be like to be

ERIKA:
Free

PRINCESS ANNELIESE:
Free

Free to try crazy things

ERIKA:
Free from endless IOU's

ANNELIESE:
Free to fly

ERIKA:
Free to sing

ANNELIESE:
And marry whom I choose

QUEEN (SPOKEN):
I’m so sorry, my darling, but as you know it is vital that you marry King Dominic.
It is the only way to take care of our people.

ANNELIESE (SPOKEN):
I know, it’s my duty.

QUEEN (SPOKEN):
Ah! And look another engagement gift!

ANNELIESE:
You would think that I'm so lucky
That I have so many things
I'm realizing that every present comes with strings

ERIKA:
Though I know I have so little
My determination's strong
People will gather around the world to hear my song

WOMAN:
Can I come along?

ANNELIESE:
Now I fear I'll never be

ERIKA:
Soon I will forever be

BOTH:
Free

I close my eyes and feel myself fly a thousand miles away
I could take flight but would it be right
My conscience tells me stay

ANNELIESE:
I'll remain forever royal

ERIKA:
I'll repay my parent's debt

BOTH:
Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret

ANNELIESE:
But I'll never stop believing

ERIKA:
She can never stop my schemes

BOTH:
There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams
In my dreams
I'll be free

   

 

下午院子里来了一只以前没见过的鸟，长相很特别，赶紧叫ens看，可惜还没来得及拍照留念，它就飞走了。

后来ens查了字典的图鉴，说是戴胜，当时就觉得这名字如雷贯耳说，记得小时候看幼儿画册还是什么东西，里面各种各样名字的鸟，五彩斑斓的，可是这么久了从没见过活的，这还是第一次看到活生生的传说中的鸟~~

今天下午来院子里的那只比较好看，咖啡得很鲜艳
