小美人鱼(英语版)

In the deepest part

of the blue sea,

there was a mermaid kingdom.

Six princesses lived

in the mermaid kingdom,

and the youngest mermaid

was the most beautiful of them all.

Everyone in the sea

loved the Little Mermaid.

“The youngest and the sweetest

The Little Mermaid!”

“She’s so kind.”

“She has a lovely voice.”

When the mermaid turns fifteen,

she can see the world

above the sea.

The sisters told

the Little Mermaid

a story of the outside world.

“Moonbeam on the sandbank!

It's amazing out there.

The golden sunset!

It’s beautiful everywhere.

Green forests and hills

that can not be compared!”

“Oh, I can’t wait to be

fifteen years old.

Oh, I can’t wait to go

to the world that I was told.

I wonder what’s out there.

Oh, I can’t wait to see

the world that I’ll behold.”

On the day

the Little Mermaid turned fifteen,

she swam over the sea.

The red sun, the sunset sky,

the gentle breeze…

The Little Mermaid was

overwhelmed by

the beautiful scenery.

There were beautiful fireworks

from the ship.

The Little Mermaid saw

a handsome prince in the fireworks.

“He’s handsome and brave.

He has gentle eyes!

Oh, prince!

I wish that I could be with you.”

Rumble, rumble!

Boom! Bang!

There was a sudden storm.

“Dark clouds covered the sky.

Thunder!

Thunder and lightning!

I see a broken ship.

It’s broken into pieces.

It’s frightening.

I have to save the prince!”

The Little Mermaid

hugged the unconscious prince

and swam to the shore

with all her might.

The Little Mermaid

managed to lay the prince

on the beach.

Suddenly,

she heard a human voice

from somewhere.

The Little Mermaid

quickly hid behind the rock.

A princess from

a neighboring country

approached the prince.

“Are you alright?

Please open your eyes.”

At that moment,

the prince opened his eyes!

“Oh! You saved me.

You saved my life.”

The Little Mermaid came back

to the kingdom under the sea.

But she couldn’t stop thinking

about the prince.

The Little Mermaid

went to the sea witch.

“If I had two legs,

I would walk and make footprints.

If I could get up and walk,

I would be together with the prince.

Oh, Sea Witch, will you,

will you make me walk, please?

Let me be a human

even for one day.

A day’s enough.

That’s okay.”

The sea witch gave

the Little Mermaid

a mysterious potion.

“If you drink this potion,

your mermaid tail will be gone.

Then you’ll have two legs,

and you can walk like everyone.

But every step you take

will sting so bad on and on.

And your beautiful voice will be gone.

You will have none!”

“Even if you become a human,

if you don’t win the prince’s love,

you will dissolve into bubbles.”

The Little Mermaid nodded

and received the potion.

The Little Mermaid

came up to the land,

drank the potion, and fainted.

“Please open your eyes.

Are you okay?”

With the prince’s help,

the Little Mermaid woke up.

‘Oh, my prince!

Can you recognize me?

I wish that I could tell you

how happy I am.’

The Little Mermaid was sad

because she couldn’t talk.

The Little Mermaid

stayed in the castle with the prince.

The Little Mermaid

couldn’t say a word,

and she felt pain

every time she walked

but she was happy

to be with the prince.

‘How nice would it be

to have the prince’s heart?

How nice would it be?’

Then one day,

the prince introduced the princess

from a neighboring country.

“This is the princess

I’m going to marry.

She saved my life.”

‘Oh, my dear prince,

the one who saved your life

was me. I saved you.’

A party was held on a big ship

to celebrate the prince’s wedding.

The Little Mermaid

sadly looked at the sea.

At that moment,

the sisters came up

to the Little Mermaid

and gave her a knife.

It was a knife that was received

in return for giving

the sisters’ long and beautiful hair

to the sea witch.

“Until the sun rises tomorrow,

stab the prince

in the heart with this.

Then you can be

a mermaid once again.

Let’s go back to under the sea.”

That night,

the Little Mermaid

sneaked into the room

where the prince was sleeping.

The Little Mermaid

held the knife tightly

and looked at the prince

for the last time.

‘If I stab the prince now,

then I can live again.

But I can never do that.

I just can’t hurt my prince.’

The Little Mermaid sobbed

and threw the knife away.

The Little Mermaid

left the prince’s room.

The sun was rising

from the horizon far away.

‘Be happy, my prince.’

The Little Mermaid threw herself

into the sea.

Her body didn’t sink

into the deep sea like it used to do.

“I can feel the warm air.

I feel it everywhere.

My hands and my body are getting invisible.

All beautiful memories

will always be in my heart.

I’ll cherish it.

I’ll remember it forever and ever.

Forever and ever.”
