THE NIGHTINGALE
After a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen

3
00:00:13,210 --> 00:00:20,860
In the whole world there is
no finer palace than the Emperor's!

4
00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:25,010
It is made from the most delicate porcelain.

5
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:30,960
Silver bells are tied to
its flowers in the garden

6
00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:35,960
that ring from every light breeze.

7
00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:38,000
Yes, yes, yes. Yes.

8
00:00:40,090 --> 00:00:47,050
But the most amazing thing
in China is the nightingale.

9
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:51,620
From around the world travelers gather

10
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,250
to listen to his wonderful songs.

11
00:00:56,530 --> 00:01:00,330
The nightingale? Who is that?

12
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:12,480
What do you know about the nightingale?

13
00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:16,440
I?.. I've never have heard
anything about him.

14
00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:19,440
No nightingale was ever
presented to the court.

15
00:01:19,570 --> 00:01:24,560
How can this be? He is known to the
whole world, and I know nothing about him!

16
00:01:24,650 --> 00:01:28,530
He should immediately be found!

17
00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:35,520
Only harm comes from these writers.

18
00:01:35,610 --> 00:01:39,320
Everything is made up! It's all lies!

19
00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:53,360
Your Majesty!

20
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:55,520
The nightingale doesn't exist!

21
00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:57,480
And has never existed.

22
00:01:57,610 --> 00:02:00,440
It's all made up by writers.

23
00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:03,450
Do not believe these books!

24
00:02:03,570 --> 00:02:05,320
Pff!

25
00:02:05,450 --> 00:02:09,440
How could that be? This book is
from the Japanese Emperor!

26
00:02:11,450 --> 00:02:14,360
There are no lies in it!

27
00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:31,450
Where does the nightingale live?

28
00:02:31,570 --> 00:02:32,520
Nightingale?

29
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:35,360
Nightingale!

30
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:37,480
No, we do not know any nightingale.

31
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:39,440
Well, then, go find him immediately,

32
00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:44,440
otherwise I'll have you beaten
with sticks on your soles.

33
00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:49,710
Come on!

34
00:02:50,610 --> 00:02:52,670
Hurry, to the kitchen!

35
00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:02,520
She knows!

36
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,250
Girl, you know the nightingale?

37
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:08,360
Well, who doesn't know!

38
00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:11,180
The nightingale lives in our woods.

39
00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:17,400
And sings so well that you
can only listen to him with delight.

40
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:18,520
Lead us, lead us to him.

41
00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:20,440
If you show us where he lives,

42
00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:28,320
I... I'll let you see how the Emperor eats.

43
00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:32,360
All right.

44
00:03:33,530 --> 00:03:35,360
I'll take you.

45
00:03:39,650 --> 00:03:44,560
Muuu! Muuu!

46
00:03:45,450 --> 00:03:49,410
Oh! This is him!

47
00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:53,520
What a strong voice.

48
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:57,360
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

49
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:00,850
That's just a cow!

50
00:04:00,951 --> 00:04:02,301
What?

51
00:04:04,650 --> 00:04:10,480
Kwa - Kwa - Kwa - Kwa - Kwa

52
00:04:10,610 --> 00:04:15,440
Oh! This is him! Divine!

53
00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:18,480
It is like prayer bells!

54
00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:21,950
Yes, yes, a magical voice.

55
00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:24,480
But that's a frog!

56
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:41,530
Listen. This is the nightingale singing.

57
00:04:41,650 --> 00:04:44,370
Hello, Nightingale!

58
00:04:48,450 --> 00:04:51,520
Oh incomparable master of the forest,

59
00:04:51,650 --> 00:04:54,450
the Emperor laid upon us...

60
00:04:54,570 --> 00:05:00,520
The Emperor entrusted me
with this pleasant assignment:

61
00:05:00,650 --> 00:05:06,520
to invite you tonight to sing at the palace.

62
00:05:06,650 --> 00:05:11,360
Very well, I'll sing for the Emperor.

63
00:05:12,530 --> 00:05:18,400
This lapwing is that famous nightingale?

64
00:05:19,650 --> 00:05:22,480
It doesn't look like much.

65
00:05:22,650 --> 00:05:26,360
Why are overseas travelers
so taken with it?

66
00:06:37,610 --> 00:06:40,440
This is wonderful!

67
00:06:40,610 --> 00:06:42,440
Amazing!

68
00:06:42,530 --> 00:06:47,440
Yes, yes, yes. Wonderful, wonderful, talented.

69
00:06:47,570 --> 00:06:52,320
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

70
00:06:53,450 --> 00:06:58,400
I award you with a golden
slipper upon your neck!

71
00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:10,320
There's no need, sincere tears are the
highest reward for a singer.

72
00:07:11,450 --> 00:07:14,400
You will live in the palace.

73
00:07:14,530 --> 00:07:18,410
Oh, I'm honored to sing for you,

74
00:07:18,530 --> 00:07:21,410
but I would rather live in the forest.

75
00:07:21,530 --> 00:07:26,360
- Ungrateful!
- He doesn't understand his own happiness!

76
00:07:29,570 --> 00:07:33,530
He will live in the palace, Your Majesty

77
00:07:33,650 --> 00:07:38,360
and delight your ears with his singing.

78
00:07:38,610 --> 00:07:42,490
Put him in a private room in a golden cage.

79
00:07:42,610 --> 00:07:47,360
And let him go for a walk
in the garden every day.

80
00:07:47,450 --> 00:07:48,360
Walk?

81
00:07:48,490 --> 00:07:49,360
Yes.

82
00:07:49,450 --> 00:07:53,410
But, your majesty, he'll fly away.

83
00:07:53,530 --> 00:07:56,410
So you tie a ribbon to his paw.

84
00:07:56,530 --> 00:08:02,320
Then he won't fly away, but
be able to fly around the garden.

85
00:08:02,450 --> 00:08:05,330
Oh, how wise!

86
00:08:05,450 --> 00:08:08,360
How kind he is! Long live the Emperor!

87
00:08:08,450 --> 00:08:11,400
He's the best friend of Chinese singers!

88
00:08:20,570 --> 00:08:24,560
Here is what is needed for success!

89
00:08:49,490 --> 00:08:53,560
Your Majesty, the Ambassador of Japan.

90
00:08:54,530 --> 00:08:58,440
The Ambassador of Japan, Your Majesty.

91
00:08:58,530 --> 00:09:02,410
Ah, yes, yes, yes.

92
00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:23,400
May you live many years
and accomplish great deeds!

93
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:34,440
Oh, this must be another book
about our celebrated bird.

94
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:41,480
Hoppa!

95
00:09:42,490 --> 00:09:46,560
Oh, what a luxury! Look, it shines like a diamond!

96
00:09:47,410 --> 00:09:48,560
Oh, it looks like a brooch!

97
00:09:49,530 --> 00:09:51,440
What fine craftsmanship!

98
00:09:51,530 --> 00:09:56,400
The Japanese Emperor gives you this bird

99
00:09:56,570 --> 00:10:02,480
and has asked me to pass along that
the Japanese Emperor's nightingale

100
00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:10,370
is a poor thing compared with the
nightingale of the Emperor of China.

101
00:10:37,490 --> 00:10:40,480
Praise to the Japanese nightingale!

102
00:10:40,610 --> 00:10:43,520
Yes, this is art!

103
00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:44,520
Yes!

104
00:10:47,530 --> 00:10:51,360
Look, what a fun toy.

105
00:11:06,410 --> 00:11:09,440
It sings well, but still something is missing.

106
00:11:09,570 --> 00:11:11,400
Hush! Hush...

107
00:11:15,570 --> 00:11:19,400
I want both nightingales to sing together,

108
00:11:19,530 --> 00:11:22,440
it should be a wonderful duet!

109
00:11:22,610 --> 00:11:28,440
Look, he's escaped.

110
00:11:28,570 --> 00:11:31,320
Oh, what a shame!

111
00:11:31,450 --> 00:11:32,480
Ingratitude!

112
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:35,560
We fed him exquisite rice!

113
00:11:35,650 --> 00:11:42,360
And yet he, pfff,
refused to sing in your honor!

114
00:11:42,530 --> 00:11:46,440
We shall issue a decree of exile.

115
00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:52,480
Ungrateful singers have no business in our state.

116
00:11:52,610 --> 00:11:58,560
It is well that the better of the
nightingales stayed with us.

117
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,480
You always know what song he will sing.

118
00:12:06,410 --> 00:12:09,400
He sings well, but still something is missing.

119
00:12:09,570 --> 00:12:11,480
Hush, hush - hush.

120
00:12:24,610 --> 00:12:28,320
Doctor! Come quickly!

121
00:12:28,490 --> 00:12:30,400
Your Majesty! What happened?

122
00:12:30,530 --> 00:12:32,360
Your Majesty, what's wrong?

123
00:12:32,450 --> 00:12:34,400
What is the meaning of this?

124
00:12:34,530 --> 00:12:36,440
He has gone silent!

125
00:12:36,570 --> 00:12:38,360
Erm... let's see.

126
00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:49,370
A doctor can't fix this.

127
00:12:49,570 --> 00:12:51,440
The spring broke.

128
00:12:53,530 --> 00:12:56,360
What a disaster.

129
00:13:12,610 --> 00:13:14,360
What's wrong with you?

130
00:13:14,490 --> 00:13:16,360
Are you ill?

131
00:13:16,490 --> 00:13:19,320
I'm suffocating!

132
00:13:47,610 --> 00:13:49,480
Stuffy!

133
00:13:51,490 --> 00:13:53,400
Stuffy!

134
00:13:56,450 --> 00:13:58,520
Who's there?

135
00:13:59,530 --> 00:14:00,560
Who?

136
00:14:01,410 --> 00:14:02,400
Oh!

137
00:14:05,570 --> 00:14:08,400
Give it back! Give it back!

138
00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:10,360
What for?

139
00:14:12,490 --> 00:14:17,400
You do not need it anymore.

140
00:14:19,490 --> 00:14:22,370
How cold you are!

141
00:14:23,490 --> 00:14:26,320
Who..? Who are they?

142
00:14:26,650 --> 00:14:27,550
Who?

143
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,560
They are... your deeds.

144
00:14:33,490 --> 00:14:41,520
Do you remember me? And me? And us?

145
00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:45,560
Do you remember?

146
00:14:46,490 --> 00:14:48,480
Do you remember?

147
00:14:48,610 --> 00:14:53,400
I... I did not know anything
about you, nothing

148
00:14:53,530 --> 00:14:59,400
Who ruled the country?
Who signed the decrees?

149
00:14:59,530 --> 00:15:03,520
You! You! You!

150
00:15:04,450 --> 00:15:09,490
I did not know! I did not know that
there is so much evil in my state.

151
00:15:09,950 --> 00:15:12,530
I'm guilty! Guilty!

152
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,530
Hey, somebody! Get some music here!

153
00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:21,400
Music!

154
00:15:21,530 --> 00:15:24,520
I cannot stand to hear them any more!

155
00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:26,520
Music!

156
00:15:26,650 --> 00:15:40,520
It is too late. It is too late. Where I am,
there is only the silence of cemeteries.

157
00:16:23,530 --> 00:16:28,520
Thank you! Thank you, my dear good bird!

158
00:16:29,570 --> 00:16:34,480
I have driven you out of the country,
but you, you saved my life!

159
00:16:35,570 --> 00:16:38,370
How can I reward you?

160
00:16:38,490 --> 00:16:41,480
Good deeds do not require an award!

161
00:16:45,410 --> 00:16:47,520
He's probably already dead.

162
00:16:53,530 --> 00:16:55,480
Now here will be your bedroom.

163
00:16:55,610 --> 00:16:57,520
Yes, yes...

164
00:17:02,610 --> 00:17:08,360
We wish you good health
for ten thousand years!

165
00:17:10,450 --> 00:17:12,360
Good morning!

166
00:17:12,570 --> 00:17:18,400
