"even the Queen does not have such a wonderful pearl." "You..." "You want to give it to me?" "I am just a poor servant." "How strange..." "Maybe not everything's right in her pretty head?" "obviously from a distinguished family." "... poor thing." "In this dress you can be taken for my younger brother." "How did you appear on our shores?" "you don't know." "What is your name?" "is that so?" "Come with me." "Can you write?" "Write me your name." "but cannot remember where..." "Maybe in a dream?" "I can't understand what you wand to say." "A month has passed."

"Relay to His Highness that I decline." "It is impossible to decline!" "The King and the Queen have already scheduled the date of the bride-show and You will have to submit to they will." "Princess Mermaid." "and no other will touch his heart." "Mermaid!" "I will have to go to this bride-show." "whom I saw on the beach back then." "My ship had been sunk during that frightful night and the waves washed me ashore." "There I was found and rescued by a black-haired girl." "Black-haired?" "I do not know anything about her    ...I will choose someone like you." "that's who captured the heart of our Prince." "I will not let it happen!" "Mister Minister." "I will make it so that this mute will not see the Prince again." "Jemmy!" "You rushed here from the Prince's castle." "Your highness." "Which?" "the Prince does not want to come to the bride-show." "He has already chosen a bride for himself – a mute girl." "you say?" "we must take urgent measures or it will be too late." "she has turned his head." "my Mother is ill?" "my Prince." "A ship has been sent for you." "let's go!" "The orders were to not take the girl." "Why not?" "that's the order." "I love her like a sister and separation would be hard on me." "she is a kind girl." "I vouch that it is so." "we must hurry on the ship." "...so that my Mother would soon get better." "There is no need for that." "Father?" "Mother?" "but I am already in good health." "We are sailing to the Suomi Kingdom." "To the Suomi Kingdom?" "the Princess." "You deceived me!" "We only wish you well." "Take her!" "Mermaid!" "Mermaid!" "...I will choose someone like you." "look!" "Here he comes!" "So handsome!" "as it pertains You." "Prince." "That can't be!" "So it were You?" "Seems like a dream..." "Yes..." "Little Mermaid!" "Little Mermaid!" "Be happy for me!" "who saved me then." "The wedding will be held tonight!" "Fritz!" "Fritz..." "Marian!" "What happened?" "yes?" "So you will become sea foam on the morning after the wedding?" "Is it truly going to happen?" "no!" "Marian!" "No!" "You must not!" "You must not!" "I do not want to part with you." "Don't want to... no!" "Don't want!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "The heart believes in it and and I'll accept all that love gives." "small love is no love at all." "So let it be kind and tender to us." "And even if it's bad I won't relinquish it." "the wedding merriment is over." "The sunrise is close." "the Witch will take my life away." "Marina!" "Marina!" "We are here!" "We are here!" "You hair!" "What happened to it!" "Marina!" "We begged the Witch to save you." "She helped us." "We gave her our hair in return... which can save you." "Fritz!" "Marina!" "Yes?" "Before the sunrise you must pierce the Prince's heart with it." "they will grow together back into mermaid tail." "You will again become a mermaid!" "you will be saved." "One of you must die." "Hurry!" "Father and Grandmother are waiting for you!" "the sunrise is so close." "come back to us!" "Marina!" "I can't." "I love him more than the life itself." "Let him live." "It must be so." "I must return into this blue sea." "so shall I die in it." "I will be able to rock in the waves his ship." "That will be my sign of love towards the Prince." "but to love yourself is an equally great happiness  I still want to always swim beside him." "my Prince." "sisters." "tender Grandmother..." "Fritz." "my friends." "And... forgive me." "Little Mermaid!" "Mermaid!" "Mermaid!" "Marina!" "Marina!" "... ascended towards them." "Little Mermaid."
