Scene 1 · Intermediate

Hófehérke születése

Snow-white is born

Hungarian

A tél közepén járt az idő, és a hópelyhek úgy hullottak az égből, mint az apró tollpihék. Egy királynő az ablaknál ült és varrt. Az ablak kerete fekete ébenfából készült. Amikor varrás közben kinézett a hóra, megszúrta az ujját, és három csepp vér hullott a fehér hóra.

English translation

It was the middle of winter, and snowflakes fell from the sky like tiny feathers. A queen sat by the window, sewing. The window frame was made of black ebony. As she looked out at the snow while she sewed, she pricked her finger, and three drops of blood fell onto the white snow.

Hungarian

A piros szín olyan szépnek tűnt a fehér havon, hogy a királynő ezt kívánta magában: „Bárcsak lenne egy gyermekem, akinek a bőre fehér, mint a hó, az arca piros, mint a vér, a haja pedig fekete, mint ez az ablakkeret!”

English translation

The red looked so beautiful against the white snow that the queen wished to herself, “If only I had a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as this window frame!”

Hungarian

Nem sokkal később kislánya született. A bőre fehér volt, mint a hó, az arca piros, mint a vér, a haja pedig fekete, mint az ébenfa. Ezért Hófehérkének nevezték el. A királynő azonban a gyermek születésekor meghalt.

English translation

Before long, she had a baby girl. Her skin was as white as snow, her cheeks as red as blood, and her hair as black as ebony. So they named her Snow White. But the queen died when the child was born.
