Original subtitles

Carnations, camellias, violets!

Flowers, sir? - No, thank you.

The program is good, sir. Cheer up, take one.

Violets, sir. - I would love violets!

Thank you, sir. Violets? They are the flowers of joy!

They only cost one real. Thank you, sir.

Soledad! Five fresh ones. - Violets, sir.

Don't say "no"! Ladies like these deserve flowers like these!

She sells, and we, nothing! What does she have that I don't?

Violets and she's only 20.

What are you doing here, Lola? - Shopping.

Where are you spending Christmas? - Nowhere. - Come to my place.

I'm not sure if I'll make it. Look how much I have left!

Happy holidays, then! - Thank you and Happy New Year!

Violets! Violets!

Violets? For your girl, handsome. - Thank you.

You're welcome. - Hey, you! We decided you should leave.

Who are "we"? - All of us.

Let me tell you, I'm not going.

You're not? - No! - You're not? - No!

What temperament!

Congratulations, Fernando. You're ending the year in color!

Thank you for the flowers.

Where are they? - On the balcony. You'll love them.

I just hope they're not too smart. Smart women are boring.

There's no such danger. - Pretty? - Beautiful.

That's the only form of women intelligence I acknowledge.

Great! We'll have a good time tonight...

Look over there! Your fiancée is coming.

Now we're done with.

Fernando, I'm glad to see you. - Me too.

Weren't you supposed to go to the opera? - I changed my mind.

And that was when Carlos told me that you are sick.

He had a fever. - Had and have. - But, he's better now.

We'll see Magdalena soon.

We are here to wish you that all your dreams come true.

You're coming in with us?

Impossible! He must go back to bed. - I'll have to obey.

How did you know I'll be here?

A hunch.

Oh, a hunch? Farewell then.

It was a lovely idea! - Miscalculation.

We'll sort it out. Beauty! - You're talking to me? - Yes.

Take this and go inside.

Tell the girls on the balcony their friends are waiting outside.

Excuse me.

I'm a flower girl, not a messenger. That's not the same!

I'm happy that you're here. I think I'm gonna need you.

Where's the cane? - Back there. - Always the same?

No, but their intentions are same. Hurry, it's my turn.

Spring excites the nature, but also men's blood...

And you can see, everyone knows, springtime is here!

Always in May everything starts to change, everything changes...

Springtime, springtime.

I can see you like the music. - I love it so much.

Good thing that someone respects our music after all.

Why did we change the schedule?

We were notified they'll throw grenades

on pretty girls in "Apollo", and you're pretty!

We brought you here, to protect you.

Which one will you protect personally?

Let her go, you fool! Shame on you!

Let it go! - Leave her alone. - And what if I don't?

Mister has a point! - No, young man has a point!

Oh God! Music! Music!

Hey, watch out! - Thanks. - You're welcome.

Gentlemen! It's time! It's time, gentlemen!

New Year is about to come! Couple of more seconds!

It's twelve o'clock!

New Year!

Should we split it? - That's great. - One for you, one for me.

Happy New Year! Joy to the world!

Long live 20th century!

Happy New Year, miss. - Soledad.

Happy New Year, sir. - Fernando.

Soledad! I wish that all your dreams come true.

I want to be like you! A singer. - You don't aim very high.

I'll have to protect you both. - Take us to dinner, it's time.

Fernando, party is up here. - Wait for me while you dine.

I want to stay with you. - Lady is waiting for you.

I want to stay with you. - You want? And what if I say "no"?

I wouldn't believe you, because your eyes don't say the same!

And now, gentlemen, our program continues.

Music!

We want "Pulcinella"! "Pulcinella"!

What a surprise! I thought I'll never find her!

They want you to sing "Pulcinella". You promised.

Enough for today. My legs hurt. I could just sit all night.

No "Pulcinella"? Give me all the matches you got.

They'll burn my place down! - If is sing, I won't be able to walk!

Gentlemen want to hear the song, no matter who sings?

I think so.

Then I can sing. You keep your place, and you, your legs.

What if they touch you? - I'm here to protect her.

Do you trust me? - Yes.

On our estimeed audience's demand: "Pulcinella".

Sung by miss Soledad... Soledad!

Among peasants and soldiers, I always have marriage proposals.

They are always following me, and I make them dance like this...

Like puppets on a string!

There is an old cat, he eats out of my hand...

Whenever I want him to dance like this...

And if not, when he hears me sing, he changes his mind.

Up and down... Pulcinella...

Like puppets on a string!

What do you think? - Marvelous.

She could sing here... - Don't even think about it!

There is a young mister, one of those buckish types...

Whenever he sees me, he asks: "Child, what are you doing on that day"!

Up, down, Pulcinella. Like puppets on a string!

Let's congratulate her. She deserved it. - They beat us to it.

Do you know how beautiful you are? - Everything is pretty on New Year!

I'm willing to repeat it next year.

Tomorrow at 3 o'clock, on the bridge. - Isn't that too fast?

No. Twelve more hours to wait!

Agreed?

Maybe. I have to go. My friend is waiting.

We forgot something... - It's late. - No, it isn't.

Midnight! - That's right. Happy New Year, Soledad.

Happy New Year, Fernando.

Sir Fernando is still sleeping, but if the duke wants...

No need, I'll wake him up myself.

Congratulations for last night. New scandal! With a comedian.

She's not a comedian, she is a flower girl.

They already told you! - Whole of Madrid talks about it!

That's why I ask seriousness from you in this year.

Right, today a new year begins. Happy New Year.

Don't you think it's time to settle? - Haven't I already?

Fernando!

Don't be mad, brother. Man who never laughs is a true monster!

It's time for you to marry.

That has nothing to do with age, it's not military!

I'm serious. Magdalena is a great catch for you.

Why don't you marry her? - Me!? You're insane.

Is that why you woke me up at dawn! - Dawn! It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Three o'clock in the afternoon!

Three in the afternoon! Luis, quick, fetch me my clothes!

Where is he now!? Luis! Luis!

What are you doing?

Following your advice. Looking for a perfect woman.

For my suit! - Unbearable! - Nothing is good for you.

Thanks for waking me up. I have a very important meeting.

I'm sorry, I got caught up. - Me too, I just arrived.

Let me see you! You're gorgeous!

It's very pleasant today. - Another one of your miracles.

First violets, now the sun. I don't know how you do it!

I just wish for it strongly, and that's it. It's easy.

You make miracles, and I'll be the prophet. I'll discover what you want.

Have I guessed it? - No.

Where are we going? - Wherever, out of this world.

Haven't been there yet. I like it. - There you go.

This is out of the world? - Yes. - Good afternoon, sir Fernando.

Where? - Over there. - Right away, sir Fernando.

They know you here. Come here a lot? - Yes. But never with you.

You like it? You can see royal palace from here.

This is the path Goya was going when he painted for the king.

And here is the queen. Like in fairytale. - For one day.

A queen is a queen her whole life.

You don't have to lie. I went out with you, but I don't know why.

Tomorrow I'll be selling flowers again, and you will be a gentleman.

But, that's alright. You understand? Why don't you answer?

What should I answer? I'm happy you don't call me "sir".

Shall we dance? - Yes.

Are you satisfied? - Yes.

More than before, when you didn't know me?

I'm more satisfied. - Then, let me hear your voice.

In this magnificent ambient of ambassadors and ministers,

I was a painter who knew how to dance well.

My joy... he was my whole world.

He never forgot anything... he was my true love.

Happy as I was, everyone called me: Rose of Madrid! Rose of Madrid!

First class flower of Madrid! Flower of Chambeire!

Most beautiful creature... Lips like rubies...

I walked proudly through the streets and that's why they called me...

Rose of Madrid!

Most beautiful creature... Lips like rubies!

I walked proudly through the streets and that's why they called me...

Rose of Madrid!

Excellent. You sing with a beautiful intonation, with feelings.

Don't lie to me, cause I believe in everything.

Fernando, thank God! Come. - Don't move!

Why are you still wearing a tailcoat?

I looked everywhere for you. I didn't pay.

I'm waiting for someone to give me money. - Here.

Fernando, where were you? - Sorry, Carmen.

Two days without you! - I'll make it up tomorrow.

Why not now? - I have company. See you tomorrow.

Paco! - Sir? - Where is the girl? - She left.

I'm very satisfied, I thought you hate all this.

Only when it's obligatory.

Don't forget. Magdalena arranged all this in your honor.

She's an orphan, she has a good title.

An estate... two castles in France...

You'll give me an inventory later.

Did you find out anything? - Yes. Nobody knows anything.

That's absurd. She has to be somewhere! You haven't searched hard enough.

Thanks. I went through all of the town, all the theaters, flower shops...

Nobody has seen Soledad since the New Year's Eve.

You have to find her!

Find her yourself, you're the one in love!

That's true. I found you before you started looking for me.

Good evening, Magdalena. - How are you, Fernando? And you, Carlos?

We were just commenting... I'm going to get a drink.

You were talking about me? - And this magnificent party.

I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Aren't you happy tonight?

Everybody envies me that I'm with you. - I know you well.

Something's bothering you. - You are very smart, Magdalena.

I admire you a lot. - But you're not in love with me.

You have all the virtues a man could desire.

And not many flaws to go with them.

That kind of perfection scares me a bit, to be honest.

It's not good that someone always judges you.

You wouldn't change the way you live? You could get places.

Aren't you interested in, I don't know... maybe politics?

Politics? No, I don't even have an opinion. - I would borrow you mine.

Then you'd be left without it. - We would split mine.

I don't accept gifts, even from such a perfect and charming woman.

Thank you, Fernando. You started talking nonsense,

and that's the sign everything is alright.

Another day without going out. It's been two weeks already.

May I know what's wrong? - I'm afraid I'll meet him.

You think he'd recognize you? Especially if he's holding hands with another woman.

He'll buy her flowers, give you money without even looking at you.

I went out with him because I liked him. Jealousy came over me.

Now I don't want to see him anymore. You have anything to say?

That's not a reason to stop living... or working!

That's my business.

While you have money, it's mine after that.

It won't be necessary.

You're going outside the theater? - Wherever, just not outside "Apollo".

Fernando, allow me? - Privilege of the elder.

He's resting this way too. - I think you're wrong. He loves Puccini.

I, on the other hand, love Mimi!

Violets! What a beautiful smell!

Excuse me with them however you know. See you later.

Good evening. - Leave me. - I've looked everywhere for you.

That's not true.

It's true. Why are you hiding and running?

I'm not running. Let me go...

No. I don't want to run through Madrid fifteen more days chasing you.

Were you suffering?

Suffering? Yes, a little. - A little? - No, a lot!

Swear. No, don't swear.

No, that would be easy for you. And I don't have a right to it.

I don't want anything, and I'm nothing.

Will you leave me now? - No. Not now, not ever!

Best way to greet someone in a salon is with a gentle move.

You could say, good enough.

I'm not good at this.

But, you have to rise to the level of this home.

Where were we? - Here, chapter 12. Important greeting.

Come over, miss. Charming. And a bow, where is it?

My pleasure. - No. Just say "madam", it's enough.

Great, Lola. You're right, when you say "madam" it's enough.

Sometimes too much. - Hello, Fernando. How are you? - Great.

No, don't insist. I have to go!

I don't like you learning all of this because you're forget who you are.

You know what day it is today?

January 28th. One year since I was the cause

for you to miss an entire opera!

That is a very important date and it should be remembered!

For me? No, I don't want presents, having you is enough for me!

Jewelry is to be worn, what use do I have!

I'm always here, alone. I'm not seeing anybody.

Who would you like to see except me?

You don't understand. I love you so much.

While I'm here, alone, waiting for hours, sometimes days...

I get incredibly jealous.

There's no middle ground with you.

Either you're a rebel or quiet as a ladybug.

I am crazy in love with a man with brown eyes who makes me mad.

I count the words you coo to me... coming sweetly out of your mouth!

That's why I pretend I'm jealous, just to make you say them.

Ladybug, my ladybug, you know I love you more than anything...

Why would I be jealous! Ladybug! Ladybug!

When he comes to see me at night full of love...

I pretend I'm angry and with sadness and tears in my eyes look at him.

When he sees me like that, he asks me what's wrong.

But I don't say anything. When he sees me silent,

He repeats in my ear... Ladybug, ladybug!

And now, let's celebrate this day the way it deserves!

Going out with you! Really?

Would you, miss, do me the honors to accompany me at my table

in the best restaurant in Madrid?

Good evening, duke. Over there. - Duke is my brother, remember.

Please.

Sir duke, madam, good evening. - One moment.

So... - Fernando. - Hi, Magdalena, how are you?

I thought you're not in Madrid. Haven't seen you in a year.

I was in seventh heaven for a year!

If you're alone, come join us. - I'm not alone.

I'm here with the lady. - I don't see a lady here.

That's because she's beautiful. Soledad, miss Magdalena.

Magdalena, I think your friends are waiting.

That's almost rude! It's the impact of your company.

It is a pleasure not having to justify yourself to anyone.

Not even your family? Not even me? - I said, no one!

Would be better if we haven't met. - Maybe.

Duchess, your table is ready. - I don't think we'll need it.

We'll come back when this place learns how to pick its customers!

It's a good thing you're looking into a distant future!

All this because of me! It's my fault. - It's better this way.

And now, let's live our own life. Whether they like it or not.

You like this?

That's how charity shows are!

Although tickets are very expensive, all kinds of people show up!

Coming here, with that woman, is downright scandalous.

Don't worry, Magdalena. No matter how expensive are her dresses,

she'll always have the appearance of a maid.

That's not true. She looks like a queen.

Can you come over for a moment? I need to talk to you.

First, let me introduce you to my fiancée. - That's not necessary.

My brother is the king of etiquette, but sometimes he messes up.

Now that you've introduced, I'm at your disposal.

I'll be right back.

I know by heart everything you'll say. - I'm older than you.

That's why you have everything! A title, a fortune, a palace, privileges.

Let me keep the one advantage I have - freedom.

You're forgetting the one that belongs to both of us - duty.

You broke off your engagement with Magdalena.

You forced it upon me.

I have shown good will as long as I could.

What more do you ask for? - I want to prevent further insults!

You can have your fiancée, as you like to call her,

but you don't have to go in public with her.

The girl I introduced you to, she is going to be my wife.

Please, be kind and follow me. They are waiting for you.

For me? - Yes.

Please.

Come. I invited you because I wanted to talk to you.

I don't think we have anything to talk about.

You're not addressing me as "madam"?

Since I don't have any experience, I'm doing what everyone else is doing.

Let's not waste time... miss.

You want to take from me what's always been mine!

What will be mine for the rest of my life!

You are wrong. - Enough. Fernando is my fiancé.

Whole of Madrid knows that. - He just introduced me as one.

Even though no one knows that. - That's not true.

And if it is, he's crazy. How long will that foolishness last?

Fernando is rich, a nobleman! What can you offer to him?

My very soul! - I love him just the same.

I can't live without him. That's all. - You don't understand.

I can see I'm wasting my time. And you lost your chance.

I was meaning to offer you whatever you want to give up.

Good thing you haven't done it. Save your money.

You're going to need it to find a husband of your class.

You insult me?

No, I'm telling the truth. And now I leave.

If our presence offends you, we'll leave right away!

That's what I expect. - I'm leaving your house, too.

I'm even leaving Madrid. - Do what you want, wherever you want.

One day you'll repent and come back to me.

That day will never come. - I know one thing!

You're unworthy of the name you carry and I don't want to see you!

Suit yourself!

Here I am! Sorry for keep you waiting. - Have you spoken with your brother?

Meaningless things. - It's better that way.

Would you mind if we leave? - I was just about to say that.

Look at Fernando! He's making a mockery of the entire Madridian elite!

We need to forgive him. It is a known history - of love.

Sells violets by day... sits alone at night.

You're speaking ill of my brother.

I'm sorry it's like that. He's making a mockery of us all.

I won't allow you speaking like that!

Mudlarks are entering your family!

What's this? "How to behave in high society"!

Give me that and don't laugh.

Hurry! I want to leave Madrid as soon as possible.

Where are we going?

To Granada. - Granada!

Yes, to Alhambra, the cathedral where we're going to get married!

Carlos! - Fernando?

I have to see him, right now. - Come in!

Hello, Carlos. - You must come with me, to your house.

Impossible. We leave in an hour. - You have to. For your brother.

If he changed his mind, I didn't. - I'll explain it.

What happened? - I will tell you.

Don't worry, I'll be back.

Everything is just the way he left it that morning...

"If you're reading this letter, it means I didn't return".

"I won't ask anything from you, because I know you'll guard our name and our home".

"I'm sorry for telling you I don't want to see you ever again".

"Only thing I think about now is hugging you. Goodbye".

What are you going to do? - I will obey.

In everything? - Yes. Everything. - And Soledad?

Fernando, finally. I read the papers. I'm sorry.

When you suffer, you feel awfully alone.

I was constantly thinking about you. - Me too.

But, in a different way. - Different? Why?

Because I decided to separate from you.

No! That's not truth! You only want to scare me!

So I'd accept a different life! I accept.

I won't go out with you. You'll come by whenever you can.

Or whenever you want!

I accept everything, just to look at you.

No, Soledad. You must understand. Just like I understand my brother now.

He had to die for me to understand.

I have to repay him for all the love he offered, and I refused.

That's the only was I can preserve the honorable memory of him.

We have to end this relationship which was the cause of his death.

I don't understand you! I don't understand. Fernando...

Soledad, have you never heard about principles, obligations...

When you feel them like I do now, nothing can overcome them.

They place you against everything you want and love!

I don't want to lose you! I can't!

That's like I lost my life. Tell me it's not true.

I have decided. I inherited so much, including this sacrifice.

You don't have to worry about your future. I arranged everything.

You won't depend from anyone. Like before. - Go!

Go! Leave!

I was born in a small village, grew up to the sound of mom's castanets.

That's where I met my love...

We loved each other for a long time. We lived happily...

How could you bring me here!? - It's better than the station.

Aren't you looking for artists? - Artists! - Yes.

Here's a pretty boy, the prettiest here! Aren't you a sweetheart!

As long as my husband doesn't see!

Best singers are to be found in Madrid. Everybody comes through here.

Darling, don't. - I have to drown my sorrow!

You're only making it blurry.

He left like everyone else. - He wasn't like everyone else.

But, he is now.

Lola told me. What are we opening with? How should I introduce you?

Soledad. - Just Soledad. - Yes.

Come on, don't be afraid.

Maestro, we can leave. That was enough.

Hold on for a moment. I like this girl.

When I'm sad, alone in the room...

I ask the icon what have I done to be punished like this...

Because what's happening to me is like a bad dream...

Mother Mary sees it all and knows that you're bad...

In spite of my passionate love, you look for love some place else...

Prairie boy, don't kill me this way...

How can you be so cruel!

How many times the first crack of dawn surprise me thinking about you!

Hoping that some day you'll remember me...

But you indulge in other girls' caresses and don't even think

that I'm waiting for you... You forgot about me...

And I die from pain each passing day...

Prairie boy, don't kill me this way...

How can you be so cruel!

You sang so nicely, Sole! Beautifully!

We have a train to catch.

There's plenty of trains. Let's stay a while.

Grand impresario from Paris wants to meet you.

Why?

They are preparing a new spectacle. His name is Mercia Garnal.

I'm not interested. - I'm interested in you, miss.

As an artist. - I'm not an artist. I'm nothing.

What were you doing before you became nothing?

I don't remember. - She had a romantic occupation.

She was selling violets.

Violet girl who sings! Excellent!

I don't care. - I see you have some problems.

I was never without problems. - You must have an ambition.

What do you care? - Because I don't.

I don't care about anything. - Why? - Because I'm dead.

Yes, yes. You can sing, walk down the street, and still be dead.

Wouldn't you like to travel?

No. And yet, I'd like to be far away from here!

I can't stand it! I behaved like a bastard. - I understand.

You love her more than you imagined. - I love her, very much.

I wasn't aware how much I love her! The way she looked at me!

Can a love that grand insult anyone? - No.

You think my brother would forgive me? - I think he would.

Where are you going?

Soledad! Soledad!

No! No! Enough!

What do you think? Be honest! - I think French deprives her of...

simply deprives her...

Not good, is it? - Horrible. It must come out of your soul!

If you want to succeed, you must give your entire self to the audience.

You must sing from the bottom of your heart! Otherwise, it's no good.

You sing from the memories, good or bad! If you don't have memories, make them up!

Go on, give it a one more try. Spanish, if you want. From the heart.

Parisian night makes us sigh...

My love, tonight dark Seine sways the boat, the boat of love...

We pray that in our soul this joy always remains...

And dream of the moon flowing down the river...

Look what he made of her in only three months!

Bridges of Paris met our love...

You gave me our first kiss under that bridge and I love you since!

That bridge will always tell you about me...

And how I wept!

Ah, the bridges of Paris!

That's better.

When you perform, don't think about the audience, the stage!

Think only about yourself and your song and they will believe you.

It's not easy.

Not easy! Nothing is easy in this profession.

If you want to be somebody, you must forget that you were a flower girl in Madrid!

I didn't even want to come here!

You're always yelling at me! I want to leave! You hear? Leave!

Is that so? You're going to work and suffer as much as it takes.

You're going to have a debut in a month! I'm in charge here!

I'm going home tomorrow, on foot if I have to!

You are leaving?

I am. - That's your final saying? - Yes. My final saying.

You'll be singing in Paris. After that, do what you want.

That's a promise.

Moment I saw him, I said to myself, this is my man.

I live only for him, till the day I die. My man!

I can't spend one night without thinking of my man.

I give all I have to him, I give all of me, to my man!

He may be a pimp, may be a gigolo, but I'm fine with it!

That's the way I love him!

One more time on Pigalle to see him... Maybe I will lose him,

I don't even know what will become of me! But, I love him!

I only have the heart for my man. And it's natural he holds me like this...

That's the way I love him! I don't have a heart no more!

I'm trying to forget him and I give myself to other men...

But I can't, cause I'm only a woman for my man!

All over Paris I look for grey eyes... of my man.

If he offers me love again, I'm going to forgive... to my man.

Cause that's the way of love!

I'm looking for my man! Where is he now?

One day, maybe on Pigalle, unfortunately, I'll lose him again, I don't know.

I don't even know what will become of me.

Because I love him! I only have the heart for my man!

All this is natural, even him, the way he is, because...

I love him! I don't have a heart!

Thank you, thank you very much! Should I greet them one more time?

No, let them wait!

Now do you want to go back to Madrid? - I don't know.

Now I have a reason to live.

Think hard. This demands to give all you got,

work hard, and every night is a debut!

I'm not afraid of anything when I'm with you.

I will always be by your side.

Now you have plenty of admirers. Unfortunately for me!

What a party! We didn't have a moment alone.

Can't wait to board the ship. And you? - Me?

I want to thank you for everything that you've done for me.

Why me? His Majesty chose you...

His Majesty had more confidence in you, than in me!

Life hadn't prepared me for a diplomatic career.

It will be very easy for you. I arranged everything.

Here are the basic instructions from the Ministry. Should I read?

No, tomorrow. - We have lunch tomorrow at French embassy.

We leave in the afternoon. Listen. "As soon as you arrive in Rio",

"Your Excellency will have to summon all of embassy personnel".

May I ask you a question? - Of course.

Are you happy with me? - How can I not be.

You've changed my life. - You love me out of gratitude?

That's a sad word. Speaking of sadness, do you have any left?

No. - Then... - Let's continue reading the instructions.

Yes, mister ambassador.

Paris has a weakness for Spanish girls. She shall inherit the Opera.

They are a lovely couple. They seem so much in love.

I don't know why they don't marry! It's been two years.

He is very much in love, and she is a good actress.

The opposite of what we have.

We are so close, always together.

We both love theater. That's our bond. - Isn't that enough?

And it get better every day. Right?

Miss, I'd love to hear you sing!

Come to the theater. I sing there every night.

I'd wish you only sang to me. I would give you a car.

I have a car, but I miss a chauffeur, in case you're interested.

You didn't learn that one from me! Congratulations.

Pitty! I'd love to hear you so much. - Come to the theater.

I can't afford it. But, maybe, some day...

Some day, no! Right now! "Frou-Frou", please!

Miss Moreno, God bless you! - Thank you, miss.

You! Do you have by any chance 20 thousand francs?

That's how much I get for performing in the theater. Your debt is paid.

Here, so you can come to the theater whenever you desire!

You don't miss literary talent.

You brought art to your life and life to your art.

And "Figaro" is announcing your performance in capitals all over Europe.

Everybody knows that. - Even you don't know we start in Madrid!

Madrid! That's out of the question.

Why not? - Because I won't. - Before the debut you wanted to go back.

Sing, even for one night only. - Please, do not insist.

You don't want to go because of him. You still love him!

Maybe.

Still, I want you to go even with the risk of losing you.

You know that I play these games well. You'll go, won't you?

No.

They say she's from Madrid!

What would you miss if you stayed in Rio, ambassador.

Like an omen of the spring, in Madrid...

Violet girls show up and announce...

Like doves their voices ring...

Buy one, young sir, it's only one real.

Buy this little bouquet and wear it on your lapel!

Excuse me, sir.

Joyful eyes, smiling face, a real Madridian type.

With a look clear and gentle he wins over your heart!

Buy one, young sir, it's only one real!

Buy this little bouquet and wear it on your lapel!

Buy this little bouquet and wear it on your lapel!

When are you leaving for America? - Definitely soon.

They say you were discovered here. - Yes, in salon "Bolero"!

Bad luck? - The end of a meaningless episode.

Tell us about it. - It is entirely forgotten.

You're out of time. - You heard. Bye. - Thank you.

I said everyone should go out! You weren't even supposed to come in.

A meaningless episode has the right to see you.

I'll call you.

To tell me what? I still remember the words of the great gentleman.

I wanted to reclaim my brother's honor by abiding to his will.

I wanted to separate you from myself. I wanted you to hate me!

So it'd be easier for you to forget me. - You made that happen.

That night, I went back to your place, you were already gone!

They told me you're never coming back and that you weren't alone.

I haven't heard for you since. - You saw me and remembered everything.

I was always thinking about you.

That didn't stop you from living your life!

My life! That word means nothing if you're not there beside me.

I'm willing to do anything, just so I wouldn't lose you.

We would go anywhere, as long as you're with me. Shall you?

Fernando! It's too late to start again. Too late.

Why is it late? It's never too late!

Unless... you're in love with someone else. Tell me the truth!

If you really must know, I love you like I never loved you before.

Now that you know, you can go.

Escort the gentleman, please. - There's no need.

What do you think? She's changed. Naturally, she became a star.

I know you think I'm evil, that my soul is black, so black.

That I'm only led by interest and that I'm pretentious.

And have too much pride. I know why you think that!

Because of the anger which tears you, cause your love isn't returned.

And you know you won't succeed!

Don't think about me, I'm not for you...

Don't bother yourself... let the water you don't need, let it flow!

If you speak that way about me and dishonor my name everywhere...

Then why do you come asking for my love with tears running from your eyes?

If you're saying that I'm evil, that I'm perverted...

That my soul is made of stone, why are you even thinking about me?

Don't think about me, I'm not the one for you... leave me be...

Let the water you don't need, let it flow, let it flow.

Turn the lights off. I want to be alone. - You have to go the reception.

Bring me everything I need. I have to rest for a while.

You came! - You see. I didn't honor my word.

Take me with you as far away as possible! Please!

Wait... - No, right now. Now! - You can't deceive me.

I know you're running away from what you love most in this world.

I'm joyous nevertheless.

When I look at your dark eyes, dark as my happiness...

I feel something all over my body, like death itself is coming...

Prairie boy, I feel death, I feel death...

When you look at me with your dark eyes, dark as my happiness!

Go away from me, I don't want to suffer!

What more do you want me to say? What more do you want me to say?

Eyes of the one I love are just like to my agony...

Deep as my wounds, great as my sorrows!

Great as my sorrows! Great as my sorrows!

Eyes of the one I love are just like my agony...

They have a great power! Light up the entire night! And me...

They light me up like two suns, like two suns...

Closer we are to New York, I get more nervous.

Are they going to like me? - Definitely. They will feel what you feel.

Understand? - Yes. Don't leave me alone.

I need you. Until my Broadway debut passes.

I am selfish, I know. But, I can't sing without you!

Forgive me. - I love you. Be certain you'll succeed.

You'll have everything after this: money, fame, everything you need.

You won't need me anymore. - That's never going to happen.

Went down precisely at 2:20 AM. 1502 passengers were on board.

Survivors were taken on the first ship that passed by.

They seek information on two passengers. Mercia Garnal.

I'm sorry.

The other one? - Soledad Moreno.

She's not here. Wait a moment.

There are two women and one child, still unconscious.

They are sick, pneumonia. - Then we'll reply later.

15, 20, 25 thousand francs. I won't come back here anymore.

You are very expensive. - Miss Moreno's life is worth much more.

Two months and her throat is still sore! - Here's the bill.

Take good care and rest for 1, 2, 7, 100 years. Optimists!

They're asking for you from Alhambra. We must try.

You think I can? - Certainly.

How is that retired voice of yours? - Same. Hurts when I sing.

This song is easy.

Tell me when you're ready.

Tea flower, tea flower, don't reveal my love...

With her love is a song, without her it's a torment!

I can't! I can't!

I'm sorry, but none of the medicines work. - Maybe it'll go away.

I have to work. I sold everything. - Don't talk about that.

In your profession, poverty is a sign of incompetence.

And don't wear black anymore. After all, he wasn't your husband.

Third-rate artists come here! It can't be!

It's her. - But, she was the queen of Paris!

He won't be able to see you today. Maybe tomorrow.

Or day after that. I know. I'm sorry. - Thank you.

Welcome, duke. Press statement, please.

Old people talk about what they've done.

Young people of what they're doing, and stupid people of what they want to do.

I'll see you this afternoon in my house.

Mister ambassador. - Carlos! Excuse me.

Finally, Fernando. - I'm happy to see you again!

It's been almost ten years. - Since the death of poor Magdalena.

It would be good if you accept the position of a minister.

I don't know, tomorrow I'll give my final answer.

Next year! Today is December 31st. - Really!

Wait for me in the car. I have to say goodbye to these gentlemen.

What are you doing tonight? Will you come over to meet my fiancée?

You have a fiancée! Like always, it will last a week.

I think it's serious this time around. - Some other day.

I have a dinner with the minister today, and after that I'll stroll through Madrid.

Through the places of our youth. - It won't return. - Yes.

Those were the years when we asked too much from life.

I want to see what we've accomplished. - I don't understand, Fernando.

You have it all. Good position. - I'm alone.

You got where you wanted to. - No.

Where others wanted. - Nostalgias? - Only one.

But, a big one. - You haven't forgotten her? - No.

That's the only time I felt like I have a heart.

Maybe because she had one.

Is she in Madrid? - Yes.

You know something about her? - Yes.

Tell me.

What a lovely little bird we have tonight! A debut, and on this very day!

Now it's your turn. Look at the audience! - I'm afraid.

How will it turn out? - Like in your best days.

On New Year's Eve celebration, everything looks good either way.

I'm not used to this. Let me go. - No, that's not possible.

But my voice... - Better than starving.

Take this. And be prepared. I'll introduce you.

Esteemed audience, many years ago in this place

performed a star who achieved worldwide fame.

After being absent from the stage for many years, she couldn't refuse

the opportunity salon "Bolero" provides, singing here again.

For those who remember the gorgeous, the one of a kind Soledad Moreno.

Come on, keep track of the record. Go out there.

Again!

Like an omen of the spring, flower girls...

They announce...

I need it for throwing!

Buy one, young sir, it's only one real.

Buy this little bouquet and wear it on your lapel.

Joyful eyes, smiling face, a real Madridian type.

With a look clear and gentle he wins over your heart...

Grabs you with his eyes... Grabs you with his eyes...

Buy one, young sir, it's only one real.

Buy this little bouquet and wear it on your lapel!

It's midnight soon! Get ready to welcome the New Year!

Happy New Year, Soledad. - Happy New Year, Fernando.
