Scene 1 · Intermediate
Γεννιέται η Χιονάτη
Snow-white is born
Greek
Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό, στην καρδιά του χειμώνα, μια βασίλισσα καθόταν κοντά στο παράθυρο και έραβε. Το πλαίσιο του παραθύρου ήταν από έβενο, ένα κατάμαυρο ξύλο, και έξω οι νιφάδες έπεφταν σαν πούπουλα. Καθώς κοίταζε το χιόνι, τρύπησε το δάχτυλό της με τη βελόνα. Τρεις σταγόνες αίμα έπεσαν πάνω στο χιόνι.
English translation
Once upon a time, in the heart of winter, a queen sat sewing by a window. The window frame was made of ebony, a deep black wood, and outside the snowflakes fell like feathers. As she watched the snow, she pricked her finger with her needle. Three drops of blood fell onto the snow.
Greek
Το κόκκινο πάνω στο άσπρο της φάνηκε τόσο όμορφο, που σκέφτηκε: «Μακάρι να είχα ένα παιδί με δέρμα άσπρο σαν το χιόνι, μάγουλα κόκκινα σαν το αίμα και μαλλιά μαύρα σαν το ξύλο αυτού του παραθύρου».
English translation
The red against the white looked so beautiful to her that she thought, “If only I had a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as the wood of this window frame.”
Greek
Λίγο αργότερα γέννησε μια κόρη που είχε ακριβώς αυτά τα χρώματα. Την ονόμασαν Χιονάτη. Η βασίλισσα όμως πέθανε όταν γεννήθηκε το παιδί.
English translation
A little later, she gave birth to a daughter with exactly those colors. They named her Snow White. But the queen died when the child was born.
