Scene 1 · Beginner
È inverno e fuori cade la neve. Una regina cuce accanto a una finestra con una cornice di legno nero. Mentre guarda fuori, si punge un dito con l'ago. Tre gocce di sangue cadono sulla neve bianca.
It is winter, and snow is falling outside. A queen is sewing beside a window with a black wooden frame. As she looks outside, she pricks her finger with the needle. Three drops of blood fall onto the white snow.
La regina trova bellissimi quei colori. Desidera un bambino con la pelle bianca come la neve, le guance rosse come il sangue e i capelli neri come il legno della finestra.
The queen thinks those colors are beautiful. She wishes for a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as the window’s wood.
Poco dopo nasce una bambina proprio con quei colori. Per questo la chiamano Biancaneve. Ma alla nascita della bambina, la regina muore.
Soon afterward, a girl is born with exactly those colors. That is why they call her Snow White. But the queen dies when the girl is born.
