Scene 1 · Beginner
Lontano, in mezzo all'oceano, il mare è azzurro e molto profondo. Sul fondo vivono il Re del Mare e il suo popolo. Intorno a loro crescono strani fiori e piante che si muovono con l'acqua. Tra i rami nuotano pesci grandi e piccoli.
Far away, in the middle of the ocean, the sea is blue and very deep. At the bottom live the Sea King and his people. Strange flowers and plants grow around them, moving with the water. Big and small fish swim among the branches.
Nel punto più profondo c'è il castello del re. Ha muri di corallo, finestre d'ambra trasparente e un tetto di conchiglie. Le conchiglie si aprono e si chiudono e dentro ognuna brilla una perla.
At the deepest point stands the king’s castle. It has coral walls, transparent amber windows, and a roof of shells. The shells open and close, and inside each one a pearl shines.
