Elisabeth:
Like a bird flying freely into the sky
If I could go into the endless blue heavens…
I would be happy forever
To be free is to be divine

Ludovika: Sissi! It’s time for French!

Elisabeth: Yes, mama… Papa!

Papa Mitai ni

Elisabeth (Max):
Ohiru ni wa shinseki ga atsumaru
Mama wa iu koto arurashii
Katakurushii bashou kara nigete mitai wa
Kateikyoushi no me o musumi
Papa issho ni tsurete itte yo
(Muri da yo)
Papa no shumi wa zenbu suki
(Kari ni wa Kodomo da)
Yume o shini ni kakitome
Bajutsu no kyousou
Papa mitai ni naritai

Max: Jinsei wa mijikatsugi de taikutsu shiteru hima wa mado nai. Sore ni papa wa shinseki tsukiai kirai nanda yo.

Elisabeth (Max):
Kyou wa kinobori wa kinji na no
(Shishi omae wa otenba sugiru yo)
Tsunawatari no renshuu mo
(Neesan wa hanayome shuugyou)
Otoutotachi to wa saakasu gokko ga dekiru
(Ki o tsukero yo)
Kateikyoushi no me o musumi
(Ato wa shiranai zo)
Doushite tsurete itte kurenai yo
(Ashita no gogo ni wa kaeru yo)
Gaikoku no ni tabi suru no ne
(Mou iku yo)
Jiyuu ni ikitai jipushii no you ni
Kimagure ni
(Adyuu, Shishi)
Nozomu mama
(Ii ko de na)
Papa mitai ni ikitai
Like Papa

Elisabeth (Max):
At noon all the relatives will gather here
That’s what mother says
Looks like you’re trying to escape all the formality
Just like I snuck away from my tutor
Papa, take me with you
(That’s impossible)
I like all the same things you do
(I’m hunting; you’re a child)
In my poem I wrote my dream
Of riding in a horseback competition
I want to be just like you, Papa!

Max: Life is too short and there’s hardly any time to relax. That’s why your Papa can’t stand the company of relatives.

Elisabeth (Max):
Today I’m forbidden to climb trees
(Sissi, you’re too much of a tomboy)
Or to practice tightrope walking
(Your sister is preparing to be a bride)
I can make a pretend circus with my little brothers
(Be careful)
If I can escape the eyes of my tutor
(I don’t know what’ll happen then)
Why won’t you take me with you
(I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon)
When you travel abroad?
(I’m going now)
I want to live freely, just like a gypsy
Whatever fancy…
(Adieu, Sissi)
…I desire
(Be a good girl)
I want to live just like you, Papa!

Tutor: Je vous en prie princesse

Elisabeth: I hate French!

Tutor: Mais princesse!

Sissi: If I wasn’t a princess, I’d join the circus to be a stunt rider! And a tightrope walker and trapeze artist! Shall I show you, Madam?

Tutor: s'il vous plait, venez maintenant!
