Princess Turandot
# roses will bloom,
but nobody can be as lovely
# as you are, Princess
# the sun and the moon
and the silvery gleam of the stars
# they pale before you, Princess
# you are so far away,
and still I'd love to woo you
# I'd love to die for you,
with a thousand joys
# Turandot, adorable Turandot
# when you turn around,
perfumes of jasmin waft by
# Turandot, adorable Turandot
# just your smile
makes your mouth glow like a ruby
# when your little foot passes me by
# I am just a beggar standing destitute on the roadside
# oh Turandot, adorable Turandot
# you're as beautiful and brilliant
as the dawn
adorable Princess Turandot
I can't stand it anymore!
the whole world seems to revolve around the Miss, my daughter
and her group of fools who let themselves be beheaded because of her
this girl will be the death of me!
get moving, ladies
you've started packing only now?
when do you intend to get finished?
why is everybody in this house
bent on driving me crazy!
isn't it enough already
that my own daughter ruins my nerves!
do I even have to get annoyed with you too?
where's my husband?
I'm speechless
I beg of you, do stay that way
no way, my dear!
out with you
I have to talk to you
how much do you need?
I'm going to the seaside for four weeks
then for four weeks to the mountains
to recover from the seaside
take your time, my rosebud
go to the mountains for eight weeks
for eight weeks to the seaside
and another eight weeks to the country
pamper yourself, relax
you need it
but why do I need it?
who has ruined my nerves?
your daughter Turandot!
don't say that, the dear child...
the dear child!
she's a charming child
who has her suitors beheaded
a real angel!
- your image!
- why my image? did I had you beheaded?
or did I marry you?
- you married me
- you see
but your daughter Turandot has her suitors beheaded
this is the result of the up-bringing you gave her
but I haven't given her any up-bringing
but that's exactly what I meant!
but why haven't you given her any up-bringing
because you're besotted with the girl
because you let the girl dance on your nose
it's downright outrageous
the way she has you around her little finger
your daughter makes you the laughing stock
of the whole world
don't interrupt me all the time
I'm fed up with that inconsiderate behaviour
but I'm telling you this, my dear
when I'm back in eight weeks
from my rest cure
and if Turandot isn't married by then yet
you! then!
Holy Confucius!
and you're advising me to get married
of course you should get married
as soon as possible,
so that I can have peace at last
what do you think you're doing anyway?
you can't exterminate all young men
just because they're in love with you
don't interrupt me
I'm fed up with this inconsiderate behaviour
but little daddy, I...
I'm not your little daddy!
- why not?
- why why
well... of course I'm your daddy
and that's why you shall get married!
- I won't
- you shall
- I won't
- you shall
am I master in this house
or am I not?
you aren't, little daddy
I'll show you that I'm master in the house
you ill-bred child
you'll marry the one
who can solve your riddles
I don't care if he's a prince
or some vagabond off the streets
whither did you come from?
from the world
where will you be going?
to the Emperor
to the Emperor?
just like that?
you must be a megalomaniac, young man
man, how dare you!
talk politely with us!
otherwise we'll complain about you
to the Emperor
who are you anyway?
who am I?
I'm Willibald
Calaf's servant
the famous bird-dealer
yes. and the Emperor... one moment
now open up those frog's eyes of yours a bit
the Emperor himself has invited us
let them pass
... I'm not.
you see, I said...
everyone wooing me must solve three riddles first
and if he doesn't solve them
he'll be beheaded
and then I thought they'd get frightened
and I'll have my peace
and now...
not a single suitor lets himself be frightened off
on the contrary!
I practically begged the Prince of Samarkand on my knees not to woo me
and what is the result?
here you are - he's singing
singing even on the way to his execution
# Turandot, adorable Turandot
# when you turn around, perfumes of jasmin waft by
# Turandot, adorable Turandot
# just your smile
makes your mouth glow like a ruby
# when your little foot passes me by...
what's keeping you, my friend?
patience, my Prince
check out what's going on down there
hey, you
make way!
good God, how shall I pass through there?
I must get home
I'm so excited
but what's going on there?
how shall I get home now?
where's your home, little girl?
that's none of your business, sir
good God, how shall I pass through there?
what am I to do?
crab?
sir, this is the confidant and companion
of Princess Turandot
if you would follow me across the courtyard, Miss Mian Li
this is a good idea,
I mustn't keep the Princess waiting
today she's in a bad mood anyway,
- of white mice?
- she did
this means trouble
doesn't it?
white mice always mean trouble
then you must run home quickly, Miss Mian Li
yes, but first I must know what's going on here
I'm awfully curious
so am I
what's going on here?
the Prince of Samarkand is to be beheaded
why?
because he didn't solve Princess Turandot's riddles
because he didn't what?
because he couldn't solve Princess Turandot's riddles
yes, those are the quaint ways she has with her suitors
quaint ways indeed!
who can solve her three riddles
then he's beheaded mercilessly
beheaded?
yes, ritsch ratsch
if you want to verify
utter nonsense!
this pitiful execution won't take place,
I'll see to that
I must get home, I must get home
are you all made out of cotton?
can you watch calmly how this... this
this evil young woman has executed
hundreds of young men in the bloom of their youth...
just because the silly goose doesn't feel like getting married?
Willibald, come here
sir, I demand satisfaction
get going
stop it
now get going, run away
no way!
leave me alone!
with whom do I have the honour?
Calaf, nice to meet you
sir, you have dared to insult the Princess Turandot
in the most insolent manner
if you don't take back that insult
with an expression of deepest regret
then you're going to get into trouble with me
you must be dreaming!
that evil young woman ought to get a good hiding on her silken panties
silken panties!
and when I say silken panties
I'm being polite
by the devil!
you're not going to take back your insult of Princess Turandot?
on the contrary!
you can bet on it
you'll regret it, sir
may heaven have pity on your heirs, my boy
clear the ring
first round
out
1 :
1second round
but I must get home, I must get home
pardon me if I go on with my dinner
