Franz Josef:
Elisabeth, please open the door to me
Your husbands longs for you.
Let me be with you
Behind me is a problem-filled day
France is now threatening me openly
Scandals are neverending
National bankruptcy, war and revolution,
A wave of suicide and a new wave of typhus
But help me sleep in a ship in a safe port
guarded by your tenderness and
without wish for one night
Please open up to me, and don't let me wait
Be the woman who understands me...Elisabeth
Sisi:
Why don't you go to your mother?
usually you like that much better.
Franz Josef:
Angel, please spare me that.
What did I do?
Sisi:
You allow them to torture Rudolf!
I know everything.
Franz Josef:
They torture Rudolf?
Sisi:
Your mother gave him to her torturers
she has to "educate" him.
He can't defend himself.
But I won't take it any longer.
It's either her now or me.
I give you an ultimatum,
if you don't want to lose me, fulfil it.
I want to be in charge of the education of my children
and I want to decide by myself what I do and where I go
Now read this document, and decide between your
mother and me, and now leave me alone.
Franz Josef:
Elisabeth, don't despair
relax in my arms
I want to comfort you,
escape and you will be free
and all the fighting will be over
I want to take you away from space and time
into a better reality
Elisabeth, Elisabeth, I love you
Sisi:
NO I want to live,
I am too young to give up
I know I can free myself
now I will use my beauty to my advantage--Go!
I don't want you.
I don't need you. Go! |
