Elisabeth Das Musical When I Want to Dance

I received a request for me to upload this, since the original seems to have been taken down....
An English Demo translated and performed by fans over at community.livejournal.com/sisi...
The Project seems to have stalled out, but who knows....if more people show an interest maybe it'll get kicked back into gear.
Elisabeth: me (thelandlockedselkie - formerly phantomess05)
Der Tod: xCountKrolockx

I wish that Broadway would bring this show to NYC so I would be able to go see it.

I think the "Rebecca" disaster has delayed any plans "Elisabeth" might have had for coming to Broadway/

[@marnetteryes2613]

This is my favourite song in the show, so happy to see an English cover

[@fe5018]

I want a full English language version so badly!!! This is beautiful 💕

[@katlynwebb8474]

I TOTS AGREE!! I could see Sierra Boggess as Elisabeth maybe Ramin Karimloo or maybe someone else as talented and handsome to do Death

[@ogaoms8985]

Oh gosh, good to know that there are more people who need this musical in English ❤🎉

[@vladimirgospodinov1579]

This is actually a really good translation. Keep up the awesome work!

[@pip1278]

It's really good !! 😍 love it ! And the lyrics are good 😊

[@luciahernandez3012]

This is fantastic! You made my day!

[@EricMontreal22]

Really well done. My one complaint is the lyric "Around the abyss". The stress of the music makes that awkward line even more awkward and hard to understand--I've played it for a few people and they all think what's being sung is "around the office"! But--otherwise, Bravo, Brava!

[@beeramp]

That's what I thought they were saying, too!

[@harrybuik9763]

I could not believe it was office but it is thank you were right . ❤❤

[@user-ci7pd5yr9j]

Omg you have such a beautiful voice!!!

[@harrybuik9763]

This is wonderful ❤ love it 😀 its a bit like les miserables. Mcbeth mary Poppins has it ever played in Britain as I have never ever heard of this musical before .❤❤❤

Lyrics (Woosung Choi did all the work, but I edited a few small mistakes): What a great triumph! (My triumph!) What a success! (My success!) My rivals are helpless against me! (So you have changed the world in my favor, so we are bound together.) I never fought for the world. (Not for the world.) Just for me. (For me!) Now I know I can live as I wish! (They laughed when they clipped your wings, but now you’ve freed yourself from their cage, and now they fall!) They picked a song and made me dance. As a puppet, I had no chance. But I am no longer their marionette! When I want to dance, then I will dance the way I want! I alone will choose the music; I alone choose how and when. For my final dance, then I will take each step without a passing glance. Around the abyss, bravely in front of you. (Now you’re free to fly!) I fly! (I alone!) Alone! (Would guide you through the storm and darkness!) I won’t be led by anyone, not even you. I’ll find my way alone. (You are free with only me) Not with you! (Only Me!) Untrue! (Then you will walk the way I send you!) The course set is mine alone. I walk a different path than you. Leave me in peace! (You know I can set you free! That is why you desire me. For none can understand you except me!) When I want to dance, then I will dance the way I want! I alone will choose the music; I alone choose how and when. For my final dance, then I will take each step without a passing glance. Around the abyss, bravely in front of you. I am brave enough alone! (You can try to be brave but you know that’s not enough!) I don’t need you! (You will need me!) I don’t want you! (You will want me!) I have only begun to love my life! (Till you begin to hate it!) When I want to dance, then I will dance the way I want! I alone will choose the music; I alone choose how and when. For my final dance, then I will take each step without a passing glance. Around the abyss, bravely in front of you. When I want to dance, I will choose whom to dance with; the choice is mine alone! Edit: Instead of "bravely in front of you" it might be "maybe in front of you" but I like "bravely" better so I'm keeping that since it's unclear.

The guy sounds a bit like Inoue yoshio who played Death/Der Todd in the japanese version of elisabeth.

Can you or anyone write the words down in the comments, please? I unfortunately don't understand every word (I'm not an English native speaker) but I'm interested in how you, or whoever translated this, did this. It seems to be a pretty good translation. Often, people try to translate very close to the original but this way, they often kill the most meaningful spots in a song. But you create own meaningful words, because it can't be translated literally to keep the rhymes, but the character of Elisabeth and Death the songs shows stays still the same like in the original.
