Original subtitles

Singoalla

Subtitles by Nostromo

A long time ago,almost in the time of the fairy tales,there was a castle

which had for centuries belonged to the family Månesköld

It was said there was a curse over the castle

Reverend Father, I have to speak with you.

Yes,I understand

The evil has returned and possessed Sir Erland.

-Yes -I already knew that

It was written in the stars

But when will this curse cease?

It's not a curse, but all according to the planets

- Saturn... - Saturn?

Exactly, Saturn. -But Reverend Father

It can't depend on Saturn?

All in the family of Månesköld is under this curse and must die young.

It is the punishment for the first member of the family of the Månesköld

for all the crimes of Sir Knuth

Pure superstition, Erasmus.

Instead everything is settled by the Stellar Constellation

You see, Sir Erland's fate was to be born under the sign of Scorpio

With the Saturn in the 8th house, the house of death

We are meeting again, Sir Erland

Poor creature! You were probably born under the sign of Cancer

Yes, yes, stay here and I'll try to chase him to you

Käck! Grip!(dog names) Come on!

Käck! Grip!

I am not scared of you!

You are beautiful.

What's your name?

You're not from the neighbourhood

How clever you are.

Where are you from?

From nowhere.

And from everywhere, if you need to know

Don't you know whom you are addressing?

I'm Sir Erland. And this whole area belongs to me.

That's not much.I would choke in your place

The whole world is owned by me.

Do you like the colour?

It's the colour of the blood.

My name is Singoalla

No

We were just discussing your son, your Grace.

The stars say that Sir Erland can be free from the curse of the moon

only through a Blessed marriage

Seven generations have already served God with humility and piousness

If Sir Erland will join them

there might be no further Divine Judgement

It is not just the question of the evil possessing Sir Erland, Revered Father

It is also about the name of the Månesköld

Remember, Bengt, my husband, died at the age of 25

Hugo, Erland's grandfather, at the age of 23.

And Sigurd, Erland's great grandfather, was 26 years old.

If Erland would now pass away, the Månesköld family would be extinguished

Therefore, I have decided to marry him with Sir Gudmund Ulvsax's daughter

The sad thing is that just the word marriage makes Erland ready for.....

How strange

Usually Erland gets so depressed when the darkness falls

-What do you think of? - Me? Nothing,My Lord

Well... yes, keep on.

What a lovely evening!

One such a night, the stars can only bring luck,I suppose, Reverend Father

No, Mr. Erland, tonight the stars have told us something extraordinary

They bode a great event. A blissful happiness

- Really? -A meeting

A meeting?

With a young girl.

That's unbelievable!

Why?

Unbelievable!

And this young girl...

Will she love me?

Passionately.

I know that the idea of marriage doesn't appeal to you very much, your..

- Who put those thoughts in your mind? - I got that impression.

Everything has changed, Reverend Father

Singoalla!

Singoalla!

Singoalla!

Yes!

Sir Erland

Maybe I'm just an old fool.

But when you were a child

I was the one who taught you to trace wild boar, elk and wolf

And to mimic the sounds of the birds

It was me, who made your first bow and your first arrow.

Yes, I almost lost my eye because of that

So, perhaps, you may forgive me if I ..

Let me be!

She will never return.

It's just as you met her in your dreams

As if she had never existed

I know she will come back.

She is beautiful, Maiden Helena Ulvsax

Yes, yes, I would love to marry her in your place.

And do you a favour

Yes, naturally,in case she wants me

But she probably doesn't want to

Fool

Erland, why are you not coming down and welcome your chosen one?

It's a good match

She is very beautiful. And of course, very virtuous

And chaste. Even in her dreams, isn't she?

And her father is a rich and powerful Earl

What else could be missing for to be happy?

Nothing! Except the true happiness.

I'm not in love with Helena.

So, you're asking for love too?

Remember that you belong to the family Månesköld.

And that you are not Master of your Own Destiny

The only thing that matters is the future of our family

Come on, let us go

Listen to me, my son

When your dad got married, he did not love me.

We had to learn to be happy

Without happiness.

Is that possible?

I don't know.

It was for such a short time.

Our children seem to be a great match, Sir Gudmund

Our possessions would expand

Ulvsax and Månesköld coming together that'll be stupendous

You know of the plan's of our parents?

They would like us to be engaged

Your future spouse must be the most happy man in the world

You are very beautiful.

Your eyes are tender, like an angel

But the black colour,isn't that too grim for your age?

The black colour?

Yes, the widow's veil

Look at them, all three of them

Has no one told you about the curse of the of the Månesköld family?

You become widow quite soon here

But you would become an charming widow

Erland

Why are you always having such cruel thoughts?

The horror, Helena.

The horror possess this castle.

Can't I help you?I am not afraid.

The making of the cross of a young girl would deter the Devil

Would not the curse,then be vanished by

The love

Your Highness., we are some poor travellers who appeal to your mercy

Behold, in these hands you can see the chalice of bitter suffering

Your faces and your manners don't appeal to me.What do you want?

We ask if you could allow us

poor travellers, to rise our tents for a few days in your forests

-We have heard a lot of your kindness - Really?

And I've heard a lot about you and your pack

nothing but liars,thieves and sorcerers.

-Get out of here - Mother!

What!

You allow wild boars to roam around your forests

But you refuse old women and children to camp there

Yes, the wild boar would be salted and smoked by someone

but these beasts are unfit for human consumption

They are like wolves!

I understand your anger, Your Highness

But be careful, you must yield to Erland's whims

And the Heaven will let your wishes be fulfilled

Let it be. Allow the strangers to stay

God Bless you for this great kindness

We'll never forget it

Look here, which month were you born?

Yes, that's long time ago, I can't remember ..

I think February 23rd

23rd of February ? Pisces? Mercury in the second quarter.

Mercury. That's the patron of the thieves

Thieves?

Can't be possible! I must have mistaken the date,Your Reverend

Look at her! She is the most beautiful

-Beautiful in the moon light, huh? -Yes

And are you looking at them?

You wanted to kill me the first time you saw me

Yes... it's just me.

I noticed you didn't want to be aware of me

Last spring we said we were to marry this winter

And when the winter came, you said this spring

And now?

Singoalla!

There is no one else you love?

If you do that..

You have just arrived

I always knew you were coming to me.

I saw you constantly before me

wandering on the roads

I really wondered what it could be

Lived in a sort

a nightmare, as in a shadow world.

Even the sun became a shadow and there was no day anymore.

There has been no day for me too

but a dim joyless light

-Damned ugly -That never ended

When I saw the snow falling, I thought you might freeze

And when the cold wind touched my lips

I imagined your mouth had gone cold

When the pale winter light swept your hands

I wanted to cry.

When the ice started melting on the lake

I knew you were not far away

The first flowers told me you were on your way

and the birds song that you were coming, God bless the spring!

It's getting dark, my love

Soon I will not have you anymore.

Why?

I'm just a traveller.

And you...

You are powerful and rich.

You own all this land

And you love me.

If this is a dream

never let me wake up

Do you remember

when you told me you owned the whole world?

Now, now I own immensely more

We must be born under the same star.

Don't talk about the stars.

Why not?

Because Saturn doesn't like me

Do not do that. It's witchcraft

Are you superstitious?

Don't laugh, don't trifle with witchcraft

See, that sign means sadness.

And this means joy.

Last night, you danced with a young girl

She was very beautiful

Are you jealous?

My jealousy is boundless

My mother wants me to marry that girl.

But I don't want to

My father also wants to marry me

Do you want that?

Do you hear the song?

I have to go now

Singoalla is not here. Have you seen her?

- What, what is it? -It's dark.

What can I do about that?

Your daughter has been away from the camp since late this morning

and she has not yet come back

-Isn't that strange? -Don't bother about it

Bother?So I should not ,although my own son is to marry her

You old owl

Singoalla hasn't come back yet

She left the camp early this morning

and have not come back yet, strange isn't it? Huh?

By all means, if that's how you feel about it.

It's not me who is going to marry her

I trust her. And I can't stand you and the others going around gossiping.

Have you understood?

Aha, yes

And you didn't notice anything yesterday at the castle ?

She and the young knight,their eyes were captivating each other,you fool

Assim

Come on!

Listen!

There is gold and silver and other precious things in the chapel at the castle.

We should make a small farewell visit before we move on

-Yes -And then?

We disappear

You will be my wife

Your wife.

Assim!

No, Erland! Save him!

And you, you

are you sure you can leave all this?

Are you not going to long back?

To my wonderful castle?

It's the castle of sorrows, owls and the black veils

where the wind is shrieking and crying

Oh, and to leave all this to live with you travelling around

Where the wind just sings!

You are the one who will deliver me

Oh my love...

You will only exist in my heart until the face of death

I swear to love Erland until my death and to be faithful to him

If I betray him, he is entitled to kill me

And the great God shall shut the gates of paradise for my lost soul.

Now it's your turn to swear above Aloko's stone, the God of our tribe

I swear to love Singoalla until my death and to be faithful to her

If I betray her, she is entitled to kill me

And the great God shall shut the gates of paradise for my lost soul.

Now you are my Lord

and I'm your slave

No...

My Ruler

Sir Erland, that's not possible

-There's no Sir Erland anymore -But that's madness

-Yes, I'm insane. Insane by happiness, -If I only dare to..

You had already done what you could to convince me

Before I disappear forever, I just want to say farewell to you, old friend

Keep the secret to yourself

But wait at least until tomorrow

You know that this night is holy.

The whole castle, the chapel even my workshop, everything is in mourning.

And as always, the monks are in deep prayer until dawn

for God to have mercy of the soul of Knuth,your sinful ancestor.

-Good Bye, Erasmus. -You can't..

You can't leave us

But you!

Can't you do anything!

Prevent him! Perform a miracle!

Can't be that difficult for you!

You are so powerful! And so plentiful !!

Let him understand that he can not leave us.

Put that thing down.

And you stay here by the wagon but keep your eyes open!

She is waiting for Erland to come.

What an honour for the leader and have a knight as a son-in- law

I should think so.

You do not mean we should wait for him?

Well, if he's so keen to be my son-in-law

he may come running after us Don't worry old witch

Come along!

Father! Erland hasn't come yet.

Start moving!

But why are you driving so fast. We have to wait for Erland.

We would have to wait ages for him. Your knight has made fun of you.

Start!

Wait! You have to wait!

You have to wait!

Erland!

Get up in the cart for a while, you are exhausted.

Now be wise and obey me

Obey?

You are speaking as we've been married for a hundred years.

With you I could go to the end of the world

It's not the men's fault, but the horses can't take it anymore

Should not we stop for a while?

- There is no danger anymore. -We must go on, continue

We are far from Månesköld's grounds

And the drink is ready.

Now we are far from your castle.

My castle? You mean my prison.

Well, .. do you enjoy our new life?

Share it with your husband

You are a bad coach. Keep the rains

The chap will get his drink

- Drink. -No, you must drink first

I never drink wine.

Erland are you sick?

I do not know.

There is something with the eyes. .

It's like I saw through a veil

You're really hot

It's nothing dangerous, I'll be fine soon enough

It burns here. My head...

My God, my God

Riders, there are riders who pursue us

Quick, take wagon up the hill! Hurry! Hurry!

You gave me a drink!

Erland!

No, let me go!

Take the coffin in the wagon and hide the treasure. Fast!

- We're losing! -No, idiot! We have hostage.

Stop!

- Erland! -It's your son's life against our lives

Villain

Swear that you give us free passage, otherwise...

You have stolen the treasure of the Månesköld

It's here now

- Never! - No!

-Your Highness.. -Watch it! Who advised me?

Do you dare to appreciate some gold things more than my son's life?

It'll be the way you want.

We have just given him a sleeping drink

They will receive a nice gift, he will die soon

The treasure? Where is it?

Where is it? Where has it gone?

It's gone

They have deceived us.

They have run away with the treasure.

Harlot!

You've dishonoured me! You have dishonoured our whole tribe.

You have dishonoured, Alako, our God! Your place is no longer among us!

I prefer to live among wolves and snakes rather than with you

I loved him.I loved him so much

And you have killed him. Cursed be you all!

- Your bitch! Get out! - No!

She's staying. And if you chase her away,I'll be leaving too

Cursed you all!

The poison

It was she who gave it to me

Ten years later.A terrible plague,which have been carried by itinerant gypsies

from the Far East to Europe is approaching

A dark skinned boy is supposed to herald the arrival of the plague

The plague is coming.

Nothing can stop it. The sky is deaf to our prayers.

Cover your faces, abandon your villages! Escape to north!

The plague!

The plague!

Sorgbarn (eq.child of sorrow), my dear, come and rest for a while.

I'm not tired, mother.

That's true, a man is never tired. Here.

Oh, look mother!

An arrow and a branch. Are we going to the left?

No, to the right.

But is that not a halting place?

Yes, just that. Look, they are stopping here.

Make way for the knight!

Mr. Knight

You are cowards! Cowards!

Don't cry, they are not worth it.

They are mean and envious because you are of blue blood.

If you knew how beautiful your father was

There has never been a more beautiful man than him

-And he had a wonderful castle, mother. -The most wonderful of all castles.

And never have a man loved a woman the way he loved me.

Our tribe hates his kin.

Therefore, they tear me away from your father and killed him

And he was even stronger and braver than they were?

They killed him cowardly with poison

When I grow up, I'll be strong like father. I'll defend you.

Tell me about the treasure, mother, about everything they stole from him.

God punished them,they lost it.

And nobody knows where it is?

No...

You're sleepy, my dear

I often dream that I find the treasure.

It shines. There is a big find of gold

With rubies around the wrist.

Yes, and a crown, also of gold

With emeralds and diamonds.

Like small pieces of the sun

You sleep my dear

You'll see, I'll probably find the treasure

And I'll help you

You,now again

Can you imagine if they had seen you go in?

Imagine if they saw you sitting and talking to me

You would be despised too

Your own mother would deny you

Why are you coming here?

Why can't you leave me alone?

Poor Assim.

Sometimes I almost feel sorry for you

I just wanted to ask if you needed something.You or the boy.

What would I need?

Poison maybe? Or abuse

Or a whiplash in the face.

That's all I've got from Alako's people.

-How you hate us. -And for everyday I hate you more

The moment will come when the punishment will strike your heads

And I pray to heaven that I will see that day

I will follow you like the revenge goddess on invisible wings.

And they want to drag me down with you, your own curse

The plague

The plague

It's the vengeance over us

Mother?

-What does this mean? -It means castle

I like you so much,mother.

Look!

Gracious God, it must be the plague boy!

The plague is coming,wherever he shows his face

We are lost.

The plague boy!

Father! Father!

- The plague boy. - Erasmus!

It's just a poor child.

But he spreads death himself

Come here, dear friend. Come here and tell Sir Erland and us all who you are.

Sir Erland?

Why are you staring at me like that?

It's strange. I don't know this boy.

And yet it's as if he reminds me of someone.

-I'm Sorgbarn and my mother. -What something -You are hurting me!

You're a gypsy... Gypsy... And you dare...

Get out of here. Ge out of here!

Erland, how can you?

And you're asking that

Should I forget the poison that brought me near to death?

And buried my mother,as if she had been drinking it too?

Should I forget the endless hours you spent at my bed?

Your anxiety?Your despair?

Which made me insane when I was lying there paralysed

Should I forget those dirty hands of the thieves who groped over my treasure?

And got away with it

She... she the most mean of all

... who first bewitched me

and then poisoned me!

If you've forgotten all this, I haven't!

Erland, I wish I could forget it

but this boy is innocent!

Innocent? Look, look at his eyes!

And then talk about innocence!

It's the fire of the hell that burns in them

Now, you shouldn't cry anymore.

Don't cry

Come with me, tell me, are you Christian?

- I don't know, I.. -Can you make the sign of the cross?

-Yes, yes, is it not like this? -That's fine, that's fine

Also, tell me, who are your parents?

I never knew my father.

And my mother is very unhappy

Where are you from?

I do not know. I left my tribe and I've been going along nights and days

But why did you leave ?

To look for the treasure and the beautiful castle

-What treasure? -Yes, and it's wonderful

There is a hand of gold with rubies. And a gold crown with emeralds.

-How can you know ? -Yes, I've seen them

-Have you seen them? - Yes, in the dream.

Was it in a dream?

Yes, there was a voice that called me.

It can't be a pure coincidence.

What do you mean, Reverend father?

I don't know, I can't say it yet

But Sir Erland has to keep this boy here

I see it... in his eyes.

Is he away again that lazy dog?

He is just a child.

He has to learn to obey!

Stop it!

Stop it!

What are you looking at?

I'm getting crazy with that cacophony!

He sits staring at me like a faithful dog.

I can not stand it anymore!

I don't want to see you anymore, you'll be leaving already tomorrow morning

Maybe I was hard against you, Sorgbarn

But don't worry about it anymore

I said I would chase you away but you may stay

Now, now, sleep my boy

Now, sleep now

-He's alive! - My dear!

You can't run away from me like that.

I've been so worried

Come on, we can't stay here.

In this country we are all hated.

Don't you understand? I'm saying that father is alive

I know.

I also know that he has married and he has a child

You have not talked to your father about us?

I felt that I wouldn't do that

He hates me, doesn't he?

He thinks it was I who wanted to kill him that time

-How can he believe such a thing like that? -Don't be sorry, mother

I will bring him to you

and you will tell how it really was

Nobody's coming here, go away

Go away

No one can touch me, everything is futile

I feel that I'll leave you soon.

And this voyage I have to do alone

Assim

You will be my successor.

That is my last command

Everything remains the same, you will still go on living

With the sky as a tent, my wishes to Singoalla

and say that she was known for the wrong reasons

and her father's heart

If you were here, I would say

Excuse...

The chief is dead.

Excuse Singoalla? Maybe we should ask her for forgiveness instead

- Mother! -Do you know where Singoalla is?

Do you know where she is?

She has abandoned her tribe and gone back to Sir Erland

- Erland? - Yes. He's alive. Do you hear? He's alive!

And now? What does the new leader commands us to do?

I guess continue our journey. But our tribe's honour, what are you doing with it?

And the law of our people, which punishes betrayal with death

When Singoalla betrayed Assim, she betrayed us all!

Yes, you're a cowardly wretches, all of you,cowards

Mangy dogs! Fie! What are you afraid of? To die?

What does it help now that the plague has caught us?

You there! Look at his cheek, there it begins. And I, I also have a plague.

And Singoalla

She continues to live happily with her knight at the beautiful castle

Turn around!

My beloved... It is you!

It is you!

Let me have a look at you.

Singoalla. Where have you been so long?

I have suffered boundlessly as if you were dead, my love

I also wanted to die, to be with you

When I saw the snow falling, I thought you might freeze

And when the cold wind touched my lips

I thought maybe your mouth had become cold.

When the ice started melting on the lake, I knew you were not far away

You can't see me, my love

When the first flowers appeared,

it reminded me that you were on your way here

and the birds' song that you had come

God bless the spring.

You can't see me. You can't hear me.

- But why are you crying? -I want to die.

If only I could die!

He does not love me anymore.

He saw me and he did not look at me.

It was my shadow he spoke to.

-That's more grim than death itself - Don't cry, mother.

This morning how did he behave?

This morning? As usual.

Don't tell fibs.Tell me the truth.

He was dark and gloomy.

And he said he had an evil dream.

That's what I've become for him, an evil dream

If he would meet me during the day he would kill me.

He's sick, mother.We'll make him healthy.

If he just can see the treasure, then he would understand.

-You are sweet, my dear - I think I know where it is

Perhaps in the big cliff?

Yes

Or in the hollow tree, don't you think so?

Yes, it must be there!

- Look, mother! - Yes my dear.

Night

Night!

Always this black night!

- No no! -What is it, my friend?

This dreadful dream.

I don't want to.

She mustn't come back.

I dreamed that I was at the spring.

There she sat waiting for me.

Light! Torches!

I can't stand this eternal night.

Calm down, Erland. Calm down.

Let me be! Go away!

Forgive me, Helena. Sometimes I'm not myself.

You know that.

I'm another person

Someone I don't know

Here's all I got

It appears that all animals are afraid of the plague.

They also

Yes, one of your gloves. I found it at the spring.

So it wasn't a bad dream...

Then it was real!

Why do you stop?

Where is she? Tell me where she is!

Take me to her right away!

Son of a snake! You're gonna die! Both of you have to die!

- What's the matter? -I can't really understand it

I think Sir Erland is raving mad

So, Erasmus, drink! Come here!

Why don't you drink? Drink! Drink!

You! All you, why are you not drinking? Pour into your glasses!

One should drink before the hunt

We're going out witch hunting!

She hides somewhere in the woods.

But the dogs will get her scent

I will nail her alive at the port of the castle

And then...

Then,finally I'll be calm during night

Father...

I wanted to find the treasure...

... before...

My own boy...

Mother has never hurt you

My boy

You must like her very very much

But child... What's the matter with you?

Yes, it's fine. I'm so happy with you.

Sorgbarn!

My son...

I've killed my son!

Sorgbarn!Sorgbarn my dear!

My dear!

Erland... what have you done?

Singoalla, my love.

Look how beautiful he is.

Here it is! As fast as possible!

Come, my love

Let me support you.

Here you have your castle.

-You are tired. -My road was endlessly long

... before I found you.

Do you hear?

The song... The bells ..

It's for us. It's for our wedding.

Yes, my love.

Your hand...

Do you notice the smell of roses,Singoalla?

The whole room is filled with roses.

You

There is only you in the whole world

There has never been a love like ours.

But I think I have to sleep now

But I'm with you, even when I sleep.

Give me something to drink. I'm thirsty.

Now you're my prisoner. I'll never let you go anymore

My Singoalla...

Your Singoalla...

Is it you, Sorgbarn?

Is that you,my boy?

You are playing

You mustn't be noisy

Your mother is just going to sleep
