Scene 1 · Beginner

Se naște Albă-ca-Zăpada

Snow-white is born

Romanian

Într-o zi de iarnă, o regină stătea lângă o fereastră și cosea. Afară ningea, iar rama ferestrei era din lemn negru de abanos. Regina s-a înțepat la un deget cu acul și trei picături de sânge au căzut pe zăpadă.

English translation

One winter day, a queen sat by a window sewing. Outside, it was snowing, and the window frame was made of black ebony. The queen pricked her finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell onto the snow.

Romanian

Roșul era atât de frumos pe albul zăpezii, încât ea și-a dorit un copil cu pielea albă ca zăpada, obrajii roșii ca sângele și părul negru ca rama ferestrei.

English translation

Red looked so beautiful against the white snow that she wished for a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as the window frame.

Romanian

După puțin timp, regina a născut o fetiță care arăta așa cum își dorise. De aceea, fetița a primit numele Albă-ca-Zăpada. Dar regina a murit când s-a născut copilul.

English translation

Soon afterward, the queen gave birth to a little girl who looked just as she had wished. That was why the girl was given the name Snow White. But the queen died when the child was born.
