Lyrics

Envy

[Neid]

“A glass coffin. A sleeping princess.
Why did you cross this border?
Come, try to sing...”


Skin as white as snow and hair black as ebony
Lips red like blood; I was born, desired by winter

Tender warmth, the scent of spring passed by
Leaving behind sweet and sad pain, my birth mother went faraway...

“Mirror, o mirror...who is the fairest in this world?”
“That’s you – 《the Queen》[die Königin]!”

“Ohohohohoho!”

My stepmother was cold to me, and I remembered my dead mother’s love
Embracing it thus, I danced with illusions, becoming a young woman with the passing of days...

“Mirror, o mirror...who is the fairest in this world?”
“That used to be you – 《the Queen》[die Königin]...
But now it’s her - 《Snow White》<Schneewittchen>”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!”

“Ooooooh, oh....hah, hah, hah....princess!”
“Nooo!! Don’t come here, geezer!”
“Ohhhhhh, wait for me!”
“No way--!!”
“Princess!!”

“I was chased by the old hunter, and I ran into the forest...”

“I didn’t really...want to do this.”
“Then why did you?”
“Princess, I can’t defy the queen.”
“Please, spare me!”
“Princess, I find it hard to kill you myself.”
“Then I promise you, I’ll never go back to the castle!”
“Then I have a plan as well. I’ll kill a pig and pretend it’s you!”

“And, what awaited me was...”

The approaching shadows of dusk swallow the path I walk
I found a small, cute house in this unknown forest I stumbled into

“Ah! Someone’s sleeping on our bed-rungen!”
“Seriously!?”
“Is she dead-galt?”
“No, she’s still living-lich!”
“Everyone, what do we do now-romberg?”
“Hmm.”
“Usually, a prince kisses her, right-chen?”
“Ohhhhhh!” “So, any princes amongst us-schtein?”
“Well, she’d have to settle with an old man this time.”
“That’s right!”
“Mmm...”
“Guten morgen!”
“Ohh!”

A beautiful young girl, waking up after a refreshing nap!
Those who awaited my awakening are seven dwarves with cute accents,
After that, I nearly died several times thanks to my sly stepmother,
But every time, I miraculously revived!
(“You! Who the hell are you?”
“My name is Idolfried Ehrenberg. Please feel free to call me Ido.”
“Stop screwing around! Where’s Cortes?”
“I have no obligation to tell a fool like you.”
“Shut it!”)

“Hi there.”
“I’m sorry, m’am. I can’t let anyone inside the house...”

“You home alone? How admirable!
I’ll give you one of these red, ripe apples[apfel], here you go!”

“I’m sorry, m’am.
I don’t need it. I can’t take anything...”

“Oh my, you worry too much!
Well, if you hold suspicion[zweifel], then you can share it with this old lady!”

Unable to resist the tempting devil[teufel], the 7th sin tastes like honey

“I’m diggin in!”
“I’m diggin in...”
“Ah!”
“Hehehe...”

“Mirror, o mirror...who is the fairest in this world?”
“That’s you – 《the Queen》[die Königin]!”

“Ohohohoho!!”


“I see. So that’s how you were deceived?
Then, let’s use a certain man’s peculiar preference in your revenge.
Now, it’ll be soon. Wait for your fated other in the world of dreams...”


Where is my ideal bride?
Ah, I’ve searched west and east, north and south, against rain and wind
But still, I couldn’t find her

A girl opening towards the future, an old woman opened towards the past
I’ve tried loving all the living women[people], the buds and the flowers, but still I couldn’t find her

The approaching shadows of dusk swallow the path I walk
I found a small, cute house in this unknown forest I stumbled into

You, dead while looking asleep within the closed glass
Are more beautiful than anyone else. I’ve finally found you!

“Dwarves, will you give me that corpse?”
“This”
“Guy”
“Is”
“Definitely”
“A”
“Prince”
“Charming”
“So why not?”

“Now, those fools are going to mess up soon...
Are you prepared, my princess?”
“Make sure you carry it carefully.”
“Yes, Your Highness! Ah-!”
“Ahh-!”
“Guten morgen!”
“Ahh-!!”
“Now, let the revenge tragedy begin!”

Enchanting white skin and hair black as obsidian
Lips red like fire
If your sin was being jealous of them
Wear burning boots-

And    dance    till    you    die!

“Kyahaha! Ahaha! Ahahahaha!”
“Hothothothothot! Aahhh! Hothothothot! Gyaaah-!!
“What is that? Can’t you dance any better? It’s your cute daughter’s wedding, you know? Ahahaha!”
“Good grief...”


“Mirror, oh mirror, Mär-mirror,
Who’s the cutest in the world? Ufufu?”
“Of course it’s princess Elise.”
“Really!? I’m happy! Ahahaha!”
