青蛙王子(英语版)

作曲 : 朱妮托尼

Once upon a time,

there lived a pretty princess

in a kingdom.

The princess played with a golden ball

when she was bored.

It was the princess’ favorite game.

“My golden ball, oh my dear ball!

May you go up high as the sun

and come back into my arms.”

Boing, boing

Tap

Tumble, tumble

And plop!

But the princess

missed the golden ball.

“My golden ball!

It fell into the pond.

What should I do?”

At that moment,

a frog stuck its head

out of the pond.

“Why are you so sad, Princess?”

“My golden ball fell into the water!”

“Oh, Princess,

What will you do for me

if I find the golden ball?”

“Anything!

The clothes, the crown!

Anything!

Anything you want!”

“No, no. That’s not what I want.

I want us to be best friends

until the very end.”

“Ah... sure!”

“I want to eat together with you.

Every meal and snacks, too!”

“O... okay!”

“I want to go to bed by your side

all through the night.”

“Okay, okay!

I said okay!

Now go and find my golden ball!”

The frog jumped into the pond.

While waiting for the frog,

the princess thought,

‘What a silly frog!

How can a frog and a princess

be friends?’

After a while,

the frog appeared

with the golden ball.

“I found it!”

“My golden ball!”

The princess ran to the castle

as soon as she took the golden ball.

“Wait for me, Princess!

Wait for me!

You promised to be my friend!

I have short legs. I can’t run fast!”

The frog cried out,

but the princess didn’t look back.

The next day,

the princess sat down for a meal.

There was a loud noise

outside the door.

“Please open this door for me,

Princess!

By the pond, we made a promise.

I know you’re honest.

Please open this door for me,

oh, Princess!”

The princess heard

the frog shouting.

She didn’t know what to do.

“What is this noise, Princess?”

When the king asked,

the princess confessed

what had happened in the pond.

“A promise made is a promise kept.

Don’t ignore the one who helped you.

It’s your turn to accept.

Now you may open the door for him.”

The princess hesitated,

but she opened the door.

The door creaked open,

and the gross and ugly frog jumped!

“I’m so glad to see you again,

my Princess!”

The frog jumped up and down.

He kept begging under the table.

“Bring me up on the table.

I’ll sit next to my princess!”

“Hand me over the plate,

the golden plate!

I’ll eat together with my princess!”

The frog ran around the table

and gulped down delicious food.

The princess lost her appetite.

The frog patted his stomach

and said,

“Thank you for the meal, Princess.

Now please take me to bed.

I want to lie down on a soft blanket

and fall asleep.”

The princess was about to cry.

The frog was too gross,

but there was nothing

she could do.

“What was I thinking?

I wasn’t thinking!

Eww! Eww! He’s so gross!

Are we friends now?

It’s hard to admit.

I made a promise.

I should keep it.”

The frog jumped up and down again

and he kept begging under the bed.

“Put me up on the bed.

Let me sit next to you!”

The princess ignored the frog.

The frog started to whine.

“Put me up! Or I’ll tell the king!”

The princess tried to keep her temper.

But she couldn’t stand it any longer.

She threw the frog away!

The frog was thrown to the floor.

He wiggled.

His hair started to shine,

and his face started to glow.

The frog turned into

a handsome prince!

“I was cursed by evil magic.

I was turned into a frog

which was gross and tragic.

Only you could save me.

You broke the curse and set me free.”

The frog turned out to be

a handsome prince!

“You saved my life. Oh, Princess!

Let us go to my kingdom

and live happily, happily ever after.

Please say yes!”

The princess nodded.

The prince and the princess

left together in a carriage.
