00:00But the little mermaid could not forget her love for the handsome prince, and her need to possess an immortal soul.

00:17No matter what the cost, she thought, I will seek out the enchantress.

00:22So she slipped away from the graceful dancers.

00:30And followed the ghastly path to the enchantress's domain.

00:50A furious whirlpool caught her and dragged her down towards a lake of boiling mud.

01:00On the shores of the lake was a forest where the trees had branches like serpents.

01:25They would have strangled her had she not escaped their grasp.

01:32They would have strangled her had she not escaped their grasp.

01:39In a swampy clearing in the forest she came upon a lighthouse, built from the bones of shipwrecked sailors.

01:46Here dwelt the enchantress of the seven seas.

01:53Surrounded by the slimy creatures she called her pets.

02:00The wicked enchantress knew well the reason for the little mermaid's journey.

02:07You wish to gain a soul and become a human being, she hissed.

02:14The potion I am preparing will give you a human form with which to win your prince's love.

02:21If you succeed, then you will truly be human and a soul will be yours.

02:28If you fail, the dawn that follows his marriage to another will see your death.

02:35Your heart will break and you will become foam upon the sea.

02:42Your heart will break and you will become foam upon the sea.

02:47In payment, the enchantress demanded a mermaid's most precious possession, her beautiful voice.

03:02So be it, were the last words the little mermaid ever uttered.

03:23The enchantress's cloak covered her and in an instant, she was in front of the prince's castle.

03:30She drank the bitter potion.

03:33And now, with a human body.

03:54Stood for a fleeting moment.

04:01And then fell in a swoon upon the steps, where she was discovered at sunrise.

04:13The prince reached her first.

04:15He took her up in his cloak and carried her into the castle.

04:19Because of her weakness and lack of speech, everyone there thought her the only survivor of a dreadful shipwreck.

04:30She took her up in the castle.

04:31She took her up in the castle.

04:36You are my dear little foundling, proclaimed the prince.

04:40And shall stay with me always.

04:42I'm in a world so strange and new.

04:43A world so strange and new.

04:57A world so sweet and fair.

04:58My happiness will always be.

04:59I'm in a world so strange and new.

05:00A world so sweet and fair.

05:04My happiness will always be.

05:05To see him standing there.

05:06A world so strange and new.

05:07A world so strange and new.

05:08A world so sweet and fair.

05:11A world so sweet and fair.

05:15A world so sweet and fair.

05:17A world so sweet and fair.

05:19My happiness will always be.

05:27To see him standing there.

05:32The stars are brighter in the sky

05:44The blossoms on the tree

05:50I notice all these lovely things

06:01Because he noticed me

06:09Oh, the birds sing a little sweeter

06:15The birds blossom on the tree

06:19And my heart beats a little faster

06:23Because he loves me

06:28Though his love lies so deep inside him

06:33Yet true lovers we will be

06:37And I'll spend all my life beside him

06:42Because he loves me

06:49Every day the little mermaid became dearer and dearer to the prince

07:01But he thought of her only as a sweet, gentle child

07:04One evening as she cooled her feet in the deep waters

07:12Her sisters appeared and started to tell her of the great mourning for her loss

07:16But they were frightened away by a ship which drew near to the castle

07:24On board was a messenger from the neighboring king

07:29His words stabbed the heart of the little mermaid

07:34At the birth of our king's daughter, the messenger declared

07:38It had been agreed by the two royal families

07:41That the baby princess would one day be the prince's bride

07:44The king now sent word that she was of an age to marry

07:49How can I marry someone I do not even know

07:53Replied the prince

07:54But I will return with you to meet the princess

08:02And I may still hope, thought the little mermaid

08:07For he cannot love a stranger

08:09Are you not glad I brought you with me to see such wonders?

08:17The prince said to her as the ship entered the harbor of the king's splendid city

08:20The little mermaid kept close to the prince's side

08:30When the king came forward to greet them

08:32They waited for the princess

08:35Who had only just returned from her school

08:37A convent high on the cliffs of a distant beach

08:42It is she, exclaimed the prince

08:48It is the girl who found me when I lay like a corpse on the seashore

08:56As she looked up into the prince's face

08:58The little mermaid knew that he loved the princess

09:01And in the face of the princess

09:02She saw that his love was returned

09:05So they were married in the cathedral

09:16And before dusk on the same day

09:18The newlyweds set sail for the prince's castle

09:21All night long

09:23The little mermaid sat by the ship's rail

09:27Remembering the enchantress's words

09:29And knowing that the first sunbeam would see her death

09:32As she gazed towards the east

09:35Her eldest sister rose out of the sea

09:37Her long, beautiful hair no longer fluttering in the wind

09:40I have sold it to the enchantress in return for this

09:43She called to the little mermaid

09:45And onto the deck she threw a dagger

09:49Take it, she cried

09:51Kill the prince

09:52And you will be a mermaid once more

09:54Then she sighed

09:56And was gone

09:57But when the little mermaid looked upon the face

10:02Of her beloved prince

10:04She could only kneel and kiss him for the last time

10:08She flung the dagger into the first rays of the sun

10:15And followed it over the side of the ship

10:17Foam flew up from the water

10:20But the hand of death did not catch the little mermaid

10:23And she felt herself rise higher and higher

10:31Until the clouds surrounded her

10:33The sunlight blinded her

10:36And for the first time

10:37Tears brimmed in her eyes

10:40Looking down

10:43She realized that her body was as transparent

10:45As that of a beautiful woman

10:47Who took her hand and said softly

10:49Do not weep, little mermaid

10:51For though the prince is lost to you

10:54By your sacrifice you have become a daughter of the air

10:57And if for three hundred years

11:00You strive with us

11:01To care for the children of the earth

11:03You will truly receive the soul

11:05You have suffered so much for

11:07Now, when a child is bad

11:14The daughters of the air shed tears

11:15And for each tear

11:16A day is added to their term of trial

11:18But when a child is good

11:22They smile

11:23And a year is taken from their time on earth

11:25The years passed quickly for the little mermaid

11:33Because she smiled much more than she wept

11:36And she passed beyond this troubled world

11:39Into everlasting happiness

11:41And I gave her Ireman

11:42And I gave her a fish

11:43And I married her

11:45And I gave her hand

11:47Much less than her

11:51Take the year

11:53And I gave her

11:55To the air

11:57And a year

11:59To the young bitches

12:00And a year

12:02To the young bitches

12:03And I gave her
