BLUEBEARD
AN ANIMATED EXTRAVAGANZA BASED ON A TALE BY PERRAULT
Here comes Lord Bluebeard
What a moustache, he is hideous!
And what a beard, he is frightful!
There is the ignoble Bluebeard
Here comes the ignoble Bluebeard
My six wives are dead...
and my castle is bleak
Your two daughters are beautiful...
and their purity to no avail...
I am coming to pick the most beautiful one
That is my wish...
Lord Bluebeard
Bluebeard is coming! There he is!
Bluebeard, Bluebeard, Bluebeard, Bluebeard!
Oh! Heavens! Here comes Bluebeard!
What a moustache, he is hideous!
And what a beard, he is frightful!
Here comes the ignoble Bluebeard!
- Thirty pearl necklaces - Thirty pearl necklaces
Oh!
- A hundred diamond necklaces - A hundred diamond necklaces
Oh!
- A thousand silk dresses - A thousand silk dresses
Oh!

Great, strong, powerful and generous!
Noble, rich and majestic!
Long live Lord Bluebeard!
The handsome Lord Bluebeard...

Goodbye...
- Oh! What excitement! - What excitement!
- What excitement! What delight! - Oh, what delight!
- Space is my accomplice - Her accomplice
- And in my heart - And in her heart
- Enters a strange sweetness - Strange sweetness
Oh! How sweet it is to forget my sweet spouse
- To forget his lice-ridden beard - His lice-ridden beard
The day, the flowers, the blue sky intoxicate me
Long live joy
- Joy of laughing and living - Joy of living
Oh! Tell, tell, tell me...
is this finally the call of love?
It is the call of love, the roses sing...
softly, among other things
Oh! Tell me, tell me, tell me...
the secret of other things
Come and pick a rose
Oh! What a strange and delightful excitement!
Strange and delightful
I have been sent by the Saracens to declare war on you
WE DECLARE WAR ON YOU THE SARACENS
These keys that I give you...
will open up horizons to you...
gold dishes, robes, crowns
The smallest of these keys opens up the door...
of the forbidden room of our fortress
Do not enter on pain of death!
DO NOT ENTER ON PAIN OF DEATH
Madam, where are my keys?
And the small key to the forbidden room?
Oh! Heavens! I have forgotten it
Find it immediately!
Oh! Fear my anger!
- Madam, you must die! - Without even a prayer?
Say one quickly then!
Oh! Anne, my sister Anne! Can you see anything coming?
At the moment I can see the dust rising in clouds...
and the grass growing green
- Madam, you must come down! - My Lord, you must wait!
Oh! Anne, my sister Anne! Can you see anything coming?
I can see a strange dust coming towards us!
- Could it be my brothers? - Alas, in this turmoil, I can see sheep!
- Madam, you must come down! - My Lord, I will come down
Oh! Anne, my sister Anne! Can you see anything coming?
I can see two horsemen armed with their rapiers...
coming towards us
God be praised! God be praised!
Brothers! Those are my brothers!
- Madam, you must come down! - I will come down
Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Madam, you must die!
- Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry! - Die!
MORAL Curiosity, however enticing...
is often not without regrets...
is often not without regrets
