Scene 1 · Beginner

Γεννιέται η Χιονάτη

Snow-white is born

Greek

Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό, μια βασίλισσα καθόταν κοντά σε ένα παράθυρο και έραβε. Ήταν χειμώνας και έξω έπεφτε χιόνι. Το ξύλο γύρω από το παράθυρο ήταν μαύρο. Καθώς η βασίλισσα κοίταζε έξω, τρύπησε το δάχτυλό της με τη βελόνα. Τρεις σταγόνες αίμα έπεσαν στο χιόνι.

English translation

Once upon a time, a queen sat sewing by a window. It was winter, and snow was falling outside. The wood around the window was black. As the queen looked outside, she pricked her finger with the needle. Three drops of blood fell onto the snow.

Greek

Το κόκκινο χρώμα ήταν πολύ όμορφο πάνω στο άσπρο χιόνι. Η βασίλισσα ευχήθηκε να αποκτήσει ένα παιδί με άσπρο δέρμα σαν το χιόνι, κόκκινα μάγουλα σαν το αίμα και μαύρα μαλλιά σαν το ξύλο του παραθύρου.

English translation

The red looked very beautiful against the white snow. The queen wished for a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as the wood around the window.

Greek

Λίγο καιρό αργότερα, γεννήθηκε η κόρη της. Είχε ακριβώς αυτά τα χρώματα και την ονόμασαν Χιονάτη. Όμως, όταν γεννήθηκε το παιδί, η μητέρα του πέθανε.

English translation

A little while later, her daughter was born. She had exactly those colors, and they named her Snow White. But when the child was born, her mother died.
