Scene 1 · Beginner

Nasce Branca de Neve

Snow-white is born

Portuguese

Em um dia de inverno, uma rainha costurava perto de uma janela de madeira preta. Ela olhava a neve quando furou o dedo com a agulha. Três gotas de sangue caíram na neve branca.

English translation

On a winter day, a queen was sewing beside a black wooden window. She was looking at the snow when she pricked her finger with the needle. Three drops of blood fell onto the white snow.

Portuguese

A rainha achou aquela mistura de cores muito bonita e desejou ter uma criança com a pele branca como a neve, as bochechas vermelhas como o sangue e os cabelos pretos como a madeira da janela.

English translation

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

Portuguese

Pouco depois, nasceu sua filha. A menina tinha exatamente aquelas cores, por isso recebeu o nome de Branca de Neve. Mas a rainha morreu quando a filha nasceu.

English translation

Not long afterward, her daughter was born. The girl had exactly those colors, so she was named Snow White. But the queen died when her daughter was born.
