YULIA'S BIRTHDAY

3
00:00:10,208 --> 00:00:13,958
In a certain school, there studied
a very pretty young lady.

4
00:00:17,592 --> 00:00:20,208
She was named Yulia.

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,583
As is true of any
pretty young lady,

6
00:00:25,258 --> 00:00:27,500
Yulia had her own boyfriend.

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,792
She liked him,

8
00:00:32,242 --> 00:00:34,708
and of course, he liked her too.

9
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:39,158
Therefore, they both agreed
that when they finished school,

10
00:00:39,292 --> 00:00:41,558
they would immediately get married.

11
00:02:20,125 --> 00:02:24,292
But one day, her boyfriend
went out riding,

12
00:02:24,908 --> 00:02:26,417
crashed,

13
00:02:28,325 --> 00:02:29,792
and died.

14
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:33,458
Yulia cried for a while,

15
00:02:34,167 --> 00:02:38,042
and then gradually
forgot her biker.

16
00:02:43,358 --> 00:02:46,583
One day, it was Yulia's birthday.

17
00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:06,458
Guests came to visit her.

18
00:03:06,833 --> 00:03:10,125
They were eating, drinking
and dancing.

19
00:03:20,375 --> 00:03:25,208
<i>When we kiss my heart's on fire</i>

20
00:03:26,333 --> 00:03:27,708
<i>Burning with a strange desire</i>

21
00:03:27,917 --> 00:03:31,450
Among them was Yulia's
new husband-to-be.

22
00:03:31,584 --> 00:03:36,084
A young and interesting fellow -
he worked as a diplomat in America.

23
00:03:38,009 --> 00:03:42,125
<i>...That your heart's on fire too</i>

24
00:03:42,334 --> 00:03:48,417
<i>So my darling please surrender
(Surrender!)</i>

25
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:51,900
<i>All your love so warm and tender</i>

26
00:03:52,017 --> 00:03:54,367
<i>(Surrender!)</i>

27
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:58,584
<i>Let me hold you in my arms, dear</i>

28
00:04:00,917 --> 00:04:04,834
<i>While the moon shines bright above...</i>

29
00:04:22,417 --> 00:04:27,700
Suddenly, someone's heavy palms
rested on Yulia's shoulders.

30
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:29,709
How horrible!

31
00:04:30,042 --> 00:04:34,367
It was the bloodied biker.

32
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,284
- Yulia! Yulia!

33
00:04:37,417 --> 00:04:41,167
You'd promised to marry <i>me</i>!

34
00:04:41,292 --> 00:04:42,909
- No!
- Yes!

35
00:04:43,042 --> 00:04:44,950
- No!
- Yes!

36
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:47,750
- No! You're dead!

37
00:04:47,917 --> 00:04:51,500
- You will be sorry!

38
00:05:12,334 --> 00:05:16,709
Since that day, it was as if Yulia
was replaced by someone else.

39
00:05:16,917 --> 00:05:20,542
Something bad began to happen to her.

40
00:05:21,267 --> 00:05:23,584
She'd sit quietly all day long,

41
00:05:23,817 --> 00:05:28,292
look around her, but it was
as if she could see nothing.

42
00:06:07,584 --> 00:06:12,459
A little longer, and Yulia would have
been snuffed out, like a candle,

43
00:06:13,084 --> 00:06:18,792
if it hadn't been for an old woman
who was scary as a witch.

44
00:06:53,634 --> 00:06:55,584
- Look, Yulia!

45
00:06:55,967 --> 00:07:00,167
Your soul is now
in the city of the dead!

46
00:07:00,350 --> 00:07:02,200
...said the old woman,

47
00:07:02,334 --> 00:07:08,375
- And it will remain there forever,
if someone kisses it.

48
00:07:09,042 --> 00:07:13,834
But I will teach you what to do.

49
00:07:29,125 --> 00:07:31,192
When I die,

50
00:07:31,317 --> 00:07:33,584
you will go to the church

51
00:07:33,709 --> 00:07:36,292
where I will be lying in my coffin,

52
00:07:37,567 --> 00:07:40,950
and read psalms over me

53
00:07:41,084 --> 00:07:42,359
for three nights.

54
00:07:42,475 --> 00:07:46,484
Then at sunrise,
you'll lift me from my coffin,

55
00:07:46,617 --> 00:07:49,625
and carry me to the cemetery.

56
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:52,734
When you lie down in my spot,

57
00:07:52,867 --> 00:07:55,459
and they bury you,

58
00:07:55,584 --> 00:07:58,617
you will end up in Magonia,

59
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:01,084
the city of the dead -

60
00:08:01,709 --> 00:08:03,767
don't waste any time there,

61
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:07,334
but find your soul as fast as you can!

62
00:08:07,459 --> 00:08:11,000
When you find it, you must say:

63
00:08:11,125 --> 00:08:15,917
"Soul! Soul! Come to me!"

64
00:10:27,025 --> 00:10:29,042
Now Yulia was walking across
the city of the dead.

65
00:10:29,825 --> 00:10:31,401
She was astonished,

66
00:10:31,534 --> 00:10:34,751
for she knew just where to go -

67
00:10:34,934 --> 00:10:36,834
as if she was being led.

68
00:10:37,809 --> 00:10:41,017
Yulia saw a house -
it was the right one, she was sure.

69
00:10:41,142 --> 00:10:45,234
She climbed the stairs,
and entered an apartment.

70
00:10:45,351 --> 00:10:46,334
<i>When we kiss, my heart's on fire...</i>

71
00:10:47,117 --> 00:10:50,109
Inside, a wedding party
was in full swing.

72
00:10:50,242 --> 00:10:52,192
Dead guests were sitting at the table,

73
00:10:52,326 --> 00:10:54,201
and in their midst were the newlyweds:

74
00:10:54,326 --> 00:10:58,367
the bloodied biker,
and Yulia's soul.

75
00:10:58,492 --> 00:11:01,409
The guests yelled "Kiss!"

76
00:11:01,784 --> 00:11:05,159
"Kiss me!" said the biker.

77
00:11:05,342 --> 00:11:07,401
Then, Yulia yelled:

78
00:11:07,534 --> 00:11:10,992
"Soul! Soul! Come to me!"

79
00:11:15,784 --> 00:11:20,159
Yulia's soul rejoiced,
and flew to Yulia.

80
00:11:49,701 --> 00:11:52,034
And connected with her!

81
00:11:54,201 --> 00:11:57,867
Yulia once more became warm inside,
and happy.

82
00:11:59,409 --> 00:12:02,951
But the dead ones yelled
"hold her!"

83
00:12:03,076 --> 00:12:04,742
"Hold her!"

84
00:12:07,367 --> 00:12:08,826
It was in vain.

85
00:12:08,909 --> 00:12:11,326
Yulia was already far away.

86
00:12:37,367 --> 00:12:39,401
She walked on
beneath the ground,

87
00:12:39,534 --> 00:12:42,426
while all around her
a furious wind raged,

88
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,201
blasting her face with sand.

89
00:12:49,034 --> 00:12:52,992
Yulia didn't know where to look for the exit.

90
00:13:00,292 --> 00:13:01,909
She fell onto the sand

91
00:13:02,042 --> 00:13:04,534
and could go no further.

92
00:13:20,492 --> 00:13:23,617
"I'll have to lie here," thought Yulia,

93
00:13:23,701 --> 00:13:27,367
"and my diplomat up there
will probably marry somebody else!"

94
00:13:33,242 --> 00:13:34,959
Oh, there was the exit!

95
00:13:35,084 --> 00:13:36,751
Right in New York,

96
00:13:36,884 --> 00:13:40,284
where Yulia's husband-to-be
was serving as a dipomat.

97
00:13:41,284 --> 00:13:43,284
And here was the man himself!

98
00:13:50,184 --> 00:13:54,534
The diplomat was overjoyed
by Yulia's sudden appearance!

99
00:13:54,659 --> 00:13:57,167
They were quickly married,

100
00:13:57,301 --> 00:14:02,867
and began living happily ever after.
