1
00:10:52,452 --> 00:11:03,130
When to thee our Saviour came

2
00:11:11,571 --> 00:11:23,950
To be baptised in God's holy name

3
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:46,373
He chose to be the sacrifice

4
00:11:53,847 --> 00:12:06,526
Who gave us the path to salvation

5
00:12:12,866 --> 00:12:24,745
Thus we dedicate ourselves

6
00:12:24,811 --> 00:12:37,758
To be worthy in your sight

7
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:54,241
Noble baptist,

8
00:12:54,307 --> 00:13:02,449
Prophet of Christ,

9
00:13:02,516 --> 00:13:11,124
Receive us in grace

10
00:13:11,191 --> 00:13:23,203
On the banks of the Jordan!

11
00:14:17,657 --> 00:14:23,496
Stay! Just one word

12
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:27,267
My shawl, I must have left it

13
00:14:27,968 --> 00:14:31,605
How forgetful! <i>I'll</i> go.

14
00:14:35,141 --> 00:14:39,646
Young lady, might I be so bold?

15
00:14:40,847 --> 00:14:48,889
To ask you, to find out,
how could I not be bold?

16
00:14:48,955 --> 00:14:53,593
Life or death, blessing or curse

17
00:14:53,660 --> 00:15:00,533
Just one word, tell me, young lady...

18
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,535
Here's the shawl

19
00:15:04,204 --> 00:15:07,440
- But where's the brooch?
- Lost as well?

20
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:13,947
Happy day or darkest night?

21
00:15:14,014 --> 00:15:22,355
Will I hear what I desire?
Will it be hope or despair?

22
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,658
Young lady, tell me...

23
00:15:24,724 --> 00:15:26,326
I've found the brooch

24
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:33,900
Come, now you have everything
0 dear! Now I've forgotten my book

25
00:15:37,203 --> 00:15:44,444
Will you not say the word
and pronounce sentence on me?

26
00:15:44,511 --> 00:15:53,720
Yes or no, the briefest whisper...
Are you already betrothed?

27
00:15:54,788 --> 00:16:02,362
Dear Sir, we are honoured

28
00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:08,702
It was kind of you to stand escort for Eva

29
00:16:09,903 --> 00:16:17,043
May I inform Master Pogner
that you will visit him?

30
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:19,612
I wish I'd never set foot there

31
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:21,915
Sir, what are you saying?

32
00:16:21,982 --> 00:16:30,223
Having just arrived in Nuremberg,
did you not find hospitality?

33
00:16:30,290 --> 00:16:36,296
Does not what kitchen cellar offered you
deserve more gratitude?

34
00:16:36,363 --> 00:16:43,770
Lena, you misunderstand
He wants an answer from me

35
00:16:43,837 --> 00:16:48,274
To something I've barely had time to grasp

36
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:53,646
It's as though I'm in a dream

37
00:16:54,614 --> 00:17:00,387
- He's asked whether I'm already betrothed
- Good Lord!

38
00:17:00,453 --> 00:17:02,122
Not so loud!

39
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:06,459
We must go home
What would people think?

40
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:08,561
Not until I have an answer

41
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:13,733
- Everyone's gone now
- That's what bothers me

42
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,703
Sir, some other place

43
00:17:16,770 --> 00:17:20,106
- No, first this word!
- This word!

44
00:17:21,641 --> 00:17:25,445
David! You, here?

45
00:17:26,546 --> 00:17:29,215
What shall I say? You tell me!

46
00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:37,924
Sir, your question to the maiden
Can't be answered so easily

47
00:17:39,259 --> 00:17:43,029
Eva Pogner is indeed betrothed

48
00:17:43,096 --> 00:17:46,533
Though no-one's seen the bridegroom yet!

49
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:50,170
The bridegroom won't be named

50
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:58,578
Until the judges grant the prize
to the winning mastersinger tomorrow

51
00:17:58,645 --> 00:18:02,015
And when the bride herself
gives him the award

52
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:06,152
The mastersinger?

53
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:08,188
Are you not one?

54
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:12,625
- A song contest?
- Before the Guild

55
00:18:13,726 --> 00:18:15,295
Who wins the prize?

56
00:18:15,361 --> 00:18:17,530
Who the masters approve

57
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:19,666
The bride chooses?

58
00:18:19,732 --> 00:18:22,001
You, or no-one!

59
00:18:22,068 --> 00:18:25,638
Eva, are you out of your mind?

60
00:18:25,705 --> 00:18:29,676
Lena, help me win my knight!

61
00:18:29,742 --> 00:18:33,146
It was only yesterday you first saw him

62
00:18:33,213 --> 00:18:42,388
I suffered for not seeing him sooner
But I'd already seen his portrait

63
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:47,994
Don't you think he looks like David?

64
00:18:48,061 --> 00:18:52,599
- Are you mad? Like David?
- Like David in the painting

65
00:18:52,665 --> 00:19:02,976
The grey-beard king on the coat-of-arms?

66
00:19:03,042 --> 00:19:12,585
No, the one who killed Goliath
with sling and sword

67
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:16,356
His fair hair bathed in light

68
00:19:16,422 --> 00:19:23,763
As in Master DiJrer's painting

69
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:26,599
David! David!

70
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:30,904
Who's calling?

71
00:19:30,970 --> 00:19:34,941
David, if you knew the trouble you've caused

72
00:19:35,008 --> 00:19:40,346
The dear rascal, does he still not know?

73
00:19:40,413 --> 00:19:44,250
Now look, he's locked us in

74
00:19:44,317 --> 00:19:48,821
- Locked in my heart alone!
- How sweet

75
00:19:50,223 --> 00:19:54,427
Say, what's your game?

76
00:19:54,494 --> 00:19:57,430
No game

77
00:19:58,198 --> 00:20:00,466
It's a serious matter

78
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:06,372
Setting up the masters' circle

79
00:20:06,439 --> 00:20:09,976
Is there a singing class?

80
00:20:10,043 --> 00:20:12,645
Just a trial today

81
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:21,154
The apprentice will be a made-man
Who doesn't break the rules of the Tabulatur

82
00:20:21,621 --> 00:20:28,494
Only those who pass this trial
can become a master

83
00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:37,503
The young noble has come to the right place
Come, Eva, we must go

84
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:41,107
Allow me to accompany you
to Master Pogner's

85
00:20:41,174 --> 00:20:44,611
Patience, he'll be here soon

86
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:53,486
Eva's hand will be yours
when the time and place are right

87
00:20:53,553 --> 00:20:57,657
- Now we really must go
- What must I do?

88
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:08,968
David will guide you through the rules

89
00:21:09,936 --> 00:21:16,376
David, my sweet friend

90
00:21:16,442 --> 00:21:25,251
Look after this knight for me

91
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,558
There'll be something
from the kitchen for you

92
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:46,139
And you can make bolder demands tomorrow
If he becomes a master today

93
00:21:46,205 --> 00:21:51,744
- Will I see you again?
- This evening! Nothing will stop me

94
00:21:51,811 --> 00:21:57,216
What I will dare?
How can I say?

95
00:21:58,184 --> 00:22:10,663
New is my heart, new my mind
New is everything I undertake

96
00:22:12,598 --> 00:22:19,238
One thing I know
One thing I understand

97
00:22:19,305 --> 00:22:29,215
To win you
With all my senses

98
00:22:29,982 --> 00:22:37,557
If not by the sword I will succeed

99
00:22:37,623 --> 00:22:46,666
I'll make you mine with a master's voice

100
00:22:46,733 --> 00:22:50,002
For you my possessions and rank

101
00:22:50,069 --> 00:22:55,708
- My heart, blessed glow
- For you the poet's sacred resolve

102
00:22:55,775 --> 00:23:03,516
- For you love's holy protection
- Quick, home, or it will not go well

103
00:23:06,419 --> 00:23:09,889
Master so soon? Good luck

104
00:23:45,358 --> 00:23:49,095
David! Don't just stand there

105
00:23:49,162 --> 00:23:51,164
Get on with it!

106
00:23:51,230 --> 00:23:53,466
Help us set up the marker's box

107
00:23:57,437 --> 00:24:00,039
I always do too much for you

108
00:24:00,106 --> 00:24:04,076
Manage on your own
I've other things to do

109
00:24:05,011 --> 00:24:10,917
Who does he think he is, the teacher's pet?

110
00:24:10,983 --> 00:24:15,154
It's because his master is a cobbler

111
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:20,827
He sits at the shoemaker's last,
quill in hand

112
00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:25,498
Weaving poetry with twine and awl

113
00:24:25,932 --> 00:24:30,002
Carving his verses on raw leather

114
00:24:30,069 --> 00:24:33,739
Tanned by our good selves!

115
00:24:34,707 --> 00:24:37,243
Begin!

116
00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:38,744
What do you mean?

117
00:24:39,412 --> 00:24:42,882
Begin!

118
00:24:43,916 --> 00:24:46,953
That's the marker's call

119
00:24:48,187 --> 00:24:50,656
For you to sing

120
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:52,658
Don't you know that?

121
00:24:55,194 --> 00:24:57,730
Who is the marker?

122
00:24:57,797 --> 00:25:02,201
Don't you know?
Have you never been to a song contest?

123
00:25:02,268 --> 00:25:07,139
Not where the judges were craftsmen

124
00:25:07,206 --> 00:25:09,542
Are you a poet?

125
00:25:09,609 --> 00:25:11,978
If only I was

126
00:25:12,044 --> 00:25:13,946
Are you a singer?

127
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:16,782
How would I know?

128
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:21,954
But surely you've been
a school friend and a scholar?

129
00:25:22,021 --> 00:25:26,425
This all sounds strange to me

130
00:25:26,492 --> 00:25:30,029
Yet you want to become a master right away?

131
00:25:30,997 --> 00:25:34,700
Why is that so difficult?

132
00:25:34,767 --> 00:25:41,474
O Lena! Lena!

133
00:25:41,541 --> 00:25:48,781
- How you carry on
- O Magdalena!

134
00:25:48,848 --> 00:25:50,283
Advise me well!

135
00:25:57,623 --> 00:26:01,827
Sir, the mastersinger's touch

136
00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:06,132
Cannot be gained in a day

137
00:26:06,832 --> 00:26:14,140
In Nuremberg, the greatest mastersinger,
Hans Sachs, teaches me his art

138
00:26:14,206 --> 00:26:26,519
He's taught me for a full year already,
tutoring me as a scholar

139
00:26:26,586 --> 00:26:34,894
I learn shoemaking and poetry together

140
00:26:34,961 --> 00:26:43,436
Once the leather is beaten smooth
I learn vowels and consonants

141
00:26:43,502 --> 00:26:52,378
Once the thread is waxed into twine
I'll learn from Sachs the art of good rhyme

142
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:57,717
Swinging the bodkin, stitching with the awl

143
00:26:57,783 --> 00:27:01,887
What's meant by blunt and ringing,
by measure and number

144
00:27:01,954 --> 00:27:05,992
The last is my apron
What is long, what short

145
00:27:06,058 --> 00:27:10,229
What hard, what soft
Bright or blind

146
00:27:10,296 --> 00:27:14,767
What are orphans and mites
What are affixes

147
00:27:14,834 --> 00:27:19,505
What pauses, what corns
What flowers, what thorns

148
00:27:19,572 --> 00:27:26,479
All this I've learned with care

149
00:27:27,346 --> 00:27:33,085
But how far do you think I've got?

150
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:38,424
As far as a good pair of shoes?

151
00:27:39,425 --> 00:27:43,896
Yes, it takes time enough to get that far!

152
00:27:43,963 --> 00:27:57,009
A song has several sections and strophes
Who might at once find the correct rule

153
00:27:57,076 --> 00:28:01,814
The right seam
And the correct thread

154
00:28:01,881 --> 00:28:10,656
With well-fitted stanzas
To sole the song properly

155
00:28:10,723 --> 00:28:14,493
And then there's the after song

156
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:20,800
Neither too short nor too long

157
00:28:20,866 --> 00:28:25,204
And containing no rhyme

158
00:28:25,805 --> 00:28:29,341
Which has already appeared in the stanza

159
00:28:29,408 --> 00:28:36,248
But all this knowledge alone

160
00:28:36,315 --> 00:28:42,421
Still doesn't make you a master

161
00:28:43,289 --> 00:28:47,393
God help me! Do I want to be a cobbler?

162
00:28:50,663 --> 00:28:57,603
Just teach me the art of singing

163
00:28:57,670 --> 00:29:04,443
If only I'd reached
the level of singer myself

164
00:29:04,510 --> 00:29:10,149
But that's such hard graft

165
00:29:18,457 --> 00:29:26,132
The masters' tones and melodies

166
00:29:26,198 --> 00:29:31,403
So many in name and number

167
00:29:31,437 --> 00:29:38,043
The strong and the soft

168
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:48,754
Who could know them all?

169
00:29:51,056 --> 00:30:04,336
Short, long, and extended tunes

170
00:30:04,403 --> 00:30:14,847
called "Manuscript" or "Black Ink"

171
00:30:14,914 --> 00:30:24,356
"Red", "Blue" and "Green" melodies

172
00:30:24,423 --> 00:30:36,035
"Hawthorn", "Straw" and "Fennel"

173
00:30:36,101 --> 00:30:50,916
"Tender", "Sweet" and "Rose"

174
00:30:50,983 --> 00:30:55,754
"Brief Love", "Forgotten Melody"

175
00:30:55,821 --> 00:30:59,692
"Rosemary", "The Wall Flower"

176
00:30:59,758 --> 00:31:05,197
"Rainbow", "Nightingale"

177
00:31:05,264 --> 00:31:08,968
"English Pewter", "Cinnamon"

178
00:31:09,034 --> 00:31:15,207
"Fresh Orange", "Lime Blossom"

179
00:31:15,274 --> 00:31:25,117
"The Frog", "The Calf", "The Goldfinch"

180
00:31:25,184 --> 00:31:30,890
"The Deceased Glutton"

181
00:31:30,956 --> 00:31:35,561
"The Lark", "The Snail", "The Barker"

182
00:31:35,628 --> 00:31:38,864
"The Mint", "The Marjoram"

183
00:31:38,931 --> 00:31:42,001
"Golden Lion", "Faithful Pelican"

184
00:31:42,067 --> 00:31:44,169
"Bright Gleaming Thread"...

185
00:31:44,236 --> 00:31:50,843
Heaven help us, how many more?

186
00:31:50,910 --> 00:31:54,346
They're just the names

187
00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:56,582
Now you must learn to sing them

188
00:31:56,649 --> 00:32:00,552
According to the master's rules

189
00:32:00,619 --> 00:32:03,856
Each word and melody must be clear

190
00:32:03,923 --> 00:32:07,326
Within the range of the voice

191
00:32:07,393 --> 00:32:11,730
Start neither higher nor lower

192
00:32:11,797 --> 00:32:15,935
Than the voice can reach

193
00:32:16,001 --> 00:32:18,971
Spare your breath, lest it run out

194
00:32:19,038 --> 00:32:22,408
And you even crack at the end

195
00:32:22,474 --> 00:32:26,378
Don't hum with your voice before the word

196
00:32:26,445 --> 00:32:33,319
And after the word
don't let your mouth rumble

197
00:32:35,921 --> 00:32:44,730
No changes to ornamentation or coloratura

198
00:32:44,797 --> 00:32:50,369
Embellish only
within the masters' guidelines

199
00:32:50,436 --> 00:32:53,005
If you confused them you'd go astray

200
00:32:53,072 --> 00:32:56,575
Lose your place and get into a muddle

201
00:32:56,642 --> 00:33:01,146
Even if everything else had gone your way

202
00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:06,652
You would have sung your chance away

203
00:33:06,719 --> 00:33:11,957
Application and enthusiasm
Haven't got me very far yet

204
00:33:12,024 --> 00:33:17,296
Whenever I don't make the grade

205
00:33:17,363 --> 00:33:23,535
Sachs gives me a taste of the "Strap" tune

206
00:33:23,602 --> 00:33:28,841
If Miss Lena can't help

207
00:33:28,907 --> 00:33:40,686
It's the "stale-bread-and-water" song for me

208
00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:51,530
So learn by example

209
00:33:52,031 --> 00:33:59,805
Have no delusions of being a master

210
00:33:59,872 --> 00:34:06,979
You must be both singer and poet

211
00:34:07,846 --> 00:34:16,021
Before becoming a master

212
00:34:16,088 --> 00:34:18,457
- David!
- What is a poet?

213
00:34:18,524 --> 00:34:21,160
David! Are you coming?

214
00:34:21,226 --> 00:34:23,929
Wait, I'm coming!

215
00:34:23,996 --> 00:34:26,098
A poet, you ask?

216
00:34:28,934 --> 00:34:33,972
When you have become a Singer

217
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:41,180
And sung the tones correctly

218
00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:46,251
And have yourself added rhymes and words

219
00:34:46,318 --> 00:34:49,254
And fitted them correctly

220
00:34:49,321 --> 00:34:54,626
To a master's tone

221
00:34:54,693 --> 00:35:01,867
- Then you might carry off the poet's prize
- Here!

222
00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:05,370
David! Shall we tell the master?

223
00:35:05,437 --> 00:35:08,707
Or will you finally stop talking?

224
00:35:08,774 --> 00:35:15,714
Go ahead! If I don't help you
Everything will be set up wrongly!

225
00:35:15,781 --> 00:35:20,519
Just one more question
Who gets to be called master?

226
00:35:21,687 --> 00:35:29,061
Well, let me tell you, Sir

227
00:35:30,829 --> 00:35:43,842
Only the poet who of his own endeavour

228
00:35:43,909 --> 00:35:53,952
To words and rhymes of his own invention

229
00:35:55,487 --> 00:36:10,235
Composes a new melody of his own

230
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:20,712
Can be judged a mastersinger

231
00:36:20,779 --> 00:36:27,119
Then the master's prize will be mine!

232
00:36:27,186 --> 00:36:32,524
If I must sing I can only succeed

233
00:36:32,591 --> 00:36:41,733
If I find the right tone for the verse

234
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,036
What are you doing?

235
00:36:44,770 --> 00:36:49,374
See, without me you've set it up all wrong

236
00:36:52,244 --> 00:36:55,614
- You think it's song school today?
- Yes!

237
00:36:55,681 --> 00:36:56,815
Just so you know

238
00:36:57,983 --> 00:36:59,851
The small box!

239
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,290
It's merely a trial

240
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,463
You have to admit David is the cleverest

241
00:37:11,530 --> 00:37:14,433
Set to win the highest honours

242
00:37:14,499 --> 00:37:17,569
At the trial today

243
00:37:17,636 --> 00:37:20,706
He's sure to take part

244
00:37:20,772 --> 00:37:25,010
He already prides himself as a fine singer!

245
00:37:25,544 --> 00:37:28,647
He's got the "Blow" rhymes note-perfect

246
00:37:28,714 --> 00:37:32,150
And sings the "Poor and Hungry"
melody very well!

247
00:37:33,752 --> 00:37:38,557
But he's most familiar with

248
00:37:38,624 --> 00:37:42,794
Sach's "Hard Kick" tune

249
00:37:44,129 --> 00:37:49,167
You may laugh, but it's not me today

250
00:37:50,836 --> 00:37:54,706
Someone else is singing to the jury

251
00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:58,310
Neither scholar nor singer

252
00:37:58,377 --> 00:38:01,079
And skipping the poet grade

253
00:38:01,146 --> 00:38:05,183
A young nobleman aspires to leap

254
00:38:05,250 --> 00:38:11,456
Straight to master level
Without any problems

255
00:38:11,523 --> 00:38:15,494
So set up the booth properly for him

256
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,695
There!

257
00:38:18,797 --> 00:38:20,565
Over here!

258
00:38:22,601 --> 00:38:25,370
Position the slate

259
00:38:25,437 --> 00:38:29,274
So that it's nice and ready for the marker

260
00:38:31,043 --> 00:38:40,686
Yes, the marker! Getting nervous?

261
00:38:43,255 --> 00:38:50,595
He's heard many candidates fail

262
00:38:53,932 --> 00:39:04,810
He allows you seven faults
Which he chalks up there

263
00:39:05,711 --> 00:39:16,955
Any more than seven
And you've sung your chance away!

264
00:39:17,889 --> 00:39:28,066
Be on your guard
The marker misses nothing

265
00:39:29,334 --> 00:39:37,743
Good luck for the mastersinging!
There are prizes to be won

266
00:39:37,809 --> 00:39:52,157
But will the silken garland
Go to our noble knight?

267
00:40:38,303 --> 00:40:48,447
Believe me, I have
your best interests at heart

268
00:40:48,513 --> 00:40:58,056
Your success in the contest is assured
As a master, who could challenge you?

269
00:40:59,191 --> 00:41:05,397
But will you not concede the point
Which, for me, casts such doubt?

270
00:41:05,464 --> 00:41:10,368
If Eva can refuse the suitor

271
00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:13,805
What use is my master's expertise?

272
00:41:13,872 --> 00:41:22,047
But say, of all things
Should you worry about that?

273
00:41:22,113 --> 00:41:31,156
If you cannot command my daughter's wishes
How could you be wooing her at all?

274
00:41:31,223 --> 00:41:39,331
Indeed! That's why I'm asking you
To speak to the child on my behalf

275
00:41:39,397 --> 00:41:48,974
How tenderly and modestly I've wooed
And how Beckmesser is your choice

276
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,309
Gladly

277
00:41:51,376 --> 00:41:52,611
He won't budge

278
00:41:53,678 --> 00:41:58,517
What's to be done?

279
00:41:58,583 --> 00:42:03,154
- Permit me, Master
- Why, Sir knight?

280
00:42:03,221 --> 00:42:08,927
Here at the song school?

281
00:42:08,994 --> 00:42:12,898
If only women could see through the braggart

282
00:42:12,964 --> 00:42:17,369
In favour of the poet

283
00:42:17,435 --> 00:42:25,510
This is the right place for me
I freely admit, what drove me

284
00:42:25,577 --> 00:42:34,352
To Nuremberg from the country
Was my love of art

285
00:42:36,555 --> 00:42:49,134
I forgot to tell you yesterday
But today I declare it loudly

286
00:42:49,200 --> 00:43:04,583
I wish to be a mastersinger
Admit me to your guild, Master

287
00:43:04,649 --> 00:43:13,525
Kunz Vogelgesangl Friend Nachtigalll
Listen, what an unusual thing

288
00:43:13,592 --> 00:43:22,934
My noble friend here
Wants to embrace the master's art

289
00:43:23,001 --> 00:43:27,572
I'll try to avert it
But if he won't budge

290
00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:32,310
I'll just have to win her heart by singing

291
00:43:32,377 --> 00:43:41,853
At night, for her ears alone
I'll learn if she succumbs to my serenade

292
00:43:43,154 --> 00:43:44,489
Who's this?

293
00:43:46,057 --> 00:43:52,797
You bring me such joy
The olden days have returned

294
00:43:52,864 --> 00:43:57,335
- I don't like him. What does he want?
- What you desire, if I can help

295
00:43:57,402 --> 00:44:00,338
- His smiling features!
- Be granted to you

296
00:44:00,405 --> 00:44:02,974
As I helped sell your property...

297
00:44:03,041 --> 00:44:04,042
Hello, Sixtus!

298
00:44:04,109 --> 00:44:07,178
...I'll gladly admit you to our Guild

299
00:44:07,245 --> 00:44:15,620
- Watch this one!
- I thank you with all my heart

300
00:44:15,687 --> 00:44:21,259
Does this mean I can hope today

301
00:44:21,326 --> 00:44:32,370
To compete for the prize
And become a mastersinger?

302
00:44:32,437 --> 00:44:33,505
Steady on!

303
00:44:33,571 --> 00:44:38,243
- Don't run before you can walk!
- Noble Sir, you must abide by the rules

304
00:44:38,309 --> 00:44:47,519
But I'll put you forward for today's trial
I'm sure the masters will be supportive

305
00:44:50,155 --> 00:44:52,590
Greetings, Masters!

306
00:44:52,657 --> 00:44:54,059
Are we all here?

307
00:44:54,793 --> 00:44:56,628
Sachs is here, all right!

308
00:44:56,995 --> 00:44:59,364
Then call the register

309
00:45:12,277 --> 00:45:22,287
To a trial and a guild meeting
The masters have been invited

310
00:45:22,353 --> 00:45:27,058
By their names
To see if all are present

311
00:45:27,125 --> 00:45:39,037
I shall now call them as the newest member
I name myself as Fritz Kothner

312
00:45:41,039 --> 00:45:44,375
Are you here, Veit Pogner?

313
00:45:44,776 --> 00:45:46,611
Here at hand

314
00:45:49,647 --> 00:45:52,217
Kunz Vogelgesang?

315
00:45:52,283 --> 00:45:53,885
Has arrived

316
00:45:54,753 --> 00:45:56,054
Hermann Ortel?

317
00:45:56,955 --> 00:45:59,257
Always in his place

318
00:45:59,557 --> 00:46:01,826
Balthasar Zorn?

319
00:46:01,893 --> 00:46:04,062
Never absent

320
00:46:04,429 --> 00:46:06,498
Konrad Nachtigall?

321
00:46:06,564 --> 00:46:08,533
True to his call

322
00:46:09,267 --> 00:46:11,202
Augustin Moser?

323
00:46:11,269 --> 00:46:13,605
Never likes to be missing

324
00:46:13,671 --> 00:46:17,142
Niklaus Vogel? No response?

325
00:46:17,208 --> 00:46:18,610
He's sick!

326
00:46:18,676 --> 00:46:20,779
A speedy recovery

327
00:46:20,845 --> 00:46:22,180
God will it!

328
00:46:22,247 --> 00:46:24,249
Thank you!

329
00:46:24,716 --> 00:46:26,785
- Hans Sachs?
- There he is!

330
00:46:26,851 --> 00:46:33,858
Do you want a good tanning?
Excuse me, Masters! Sachs is present

331
00:46:33,925 --> 00:46:36,161
Sixtus Beckmesser?

332
00:46:36,795 --> 00:46:38,797
Always by Sachs

333
00:46:38,863 --> 00:46:42,801
To learn the rhymes to "bloom" and "wax"

334
00:46:44,469 --> 00:46:46,571
Ulrich Eisslinger?

335
00:46:47,338 --> 00:46:48,439
Here!

336
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,010
- Hans Foltz?
- I'm here

337
00:46:52,076 --> 00:46:55,480
- Hans Schwarz?
- The last, God willing!

338
00:47:01,686 --> 00:47:06,324
I declare the assembly full and well met

339
00:47:22,841 --> 00:47:26,611
Shall we proceed to elect the marker?

340
00:47:26,678 --> 00:47:28,546
Maybe after the festival?

341
00:47:28,613 --> 00:47:32,083
Is the gentleman in a hurry?
I'd gladly defer to him

342
00:47:32,150 --> 00:47:37,956
No, Masters, let's defer this for now

343
00:47:38,022 --> 00:47:43,394
I ask leave to speak
of an important proposal

344
00:47:51,870 --> 00:47:55,540
Granted, Master, speak!

345
00:47:56,708 --> 00:48:04,015
Now listen to my words

346
00:48:08,987 --> 00:48:18,763
That beautiful festival, Midsummer's Day
We celebrate tomorrow

347
00:48:18,830 --> 00:48:28,706
On the green meadow, by the flowery grove
With games and dancing

348
00:48:28,773 --> 00:48:39,050
Secure in a joyous heart
All cares forgotten

349
00:48:39,117 --> 00:48:44,122
We will be joyous as is our wont

350
00:48:45,490 --> 00:48:52,330
Their solemn song school in the church
The masters will give up

351
00:48:52,397 --> 00:49:02,740
With merry music out the gate
On to the open meadow they proceed

352
00:49:02,807 --> 00:49:13,117
In the din of the brilliant festival
They let the people listen

353
00:49:13,184 --> 00:49:18,656
To the singing with their laymen's ears

354
00:49:23,127 --> 00:49:31,769
Trials and contests are held in song
With prizes for the victor

355
00:49:33,271 --> 00:49:42,480
Both are praised far and wide
The gift as well as the melody

356
00:49:45,950 --> 00:49:54,692
Now, God has made me a rich man
And everyone gives what he can

357
00:49:54,759 --> 00:49:59,597
So I had to think carefully
Which prize to give

358
00:49:59,664 --> 00:50:09,173
Not to come into dishonour
Hear then my decision

359
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:30,228
Widely travelled in German lands
It has often vexed me

360
00:50:30,294 --> 00:50:37,902
That people don't honour the burghers
Call them mean and selfish

361
00:50:41,372 --> 00:50:49,981
At courts and lower places
I grew tired of the bitter reproach

362
00:50:50,048 --> 00:50:56,854
That the burghers' sole interest
Was usury and money

363
00:50:56,921 --> 00:51:08,132
But that we alone in the German empire
Still cherish art

364
00:51:08,199 --> 00:51:12,503
By that they set little store

365
00:51:12,570 --> 00:51:20,244
Yet how this may increase our honour
And that with high resolve

366
00:51:20,311 --> 00:51:25,650
We treasure what is beautiful and good

367
00:51:25,716 --> 00:51:36,727
The value of art, what it is worth
This I was resolved to show the world

368
00:51:36,794 --> 00:51:49,307
To that end, Masters, hear my pledge
What I have decreed as prize

369
00:51:54,312 --> 00:52:06,657
To the singer who in the art-singing
Before all the people wins the prize

370
00:52:06,724 --> 00:52:13,030
On Midsummer's Day
Be he who he may

371
00:52:13,097 --> 00:52:22,907
To him, as a friend of art
I, Nuremberg's Veit Pogner, offer

372
00:52:22,974 --> 00:52:30,314
With all the goods I hold

373
00:52:30,381 --> 00:52:44,362
Eva, my only child, in marriage

374
00:52:48,399 --> 00:52:58,142
That's what I call a pledge
Spoken like a true Nuremberger!

375
00:52:59,844 --> 00:53:11,489
You'll be praised to the skies for this
The people's hero, Veit Pogner!

376
00:53:13,424 --> 00:53:17,929
At all times, far and wide!

377
00:53:17,995 --> 00:53:21,899
Many would gladly forsake their wives!

378
00:53:21,966 --> 00:53:26,904
Arise, single men
Now, get to work!

379
00:53:26,971 --> 00:53:33,878
But hear my earnest intent

380
00:53:33,945 --> 00:53:45,256
This gift is my life and blood
Eva will sit with the judges

381
00:53:45,323 --> 00:53:57,368
The prize is awarded by the master's guild
But in matters of matrimony, reason demands

382
00:53:57,435 --> 00:54:04,809
That the final decision is with the bride

383
00:54:04,875 --> 00:54:06,611
Is that wise?

384
00:54:06,677 --> 00:54:13,417
So, we remain subject to her casting vote?

385
00:54:13,484 --> 00:54:16,621
This courts danger!

386
00:54:16,721 --> 00:54:25,396
If she disagrees,
how do we have any free choice?

387
00:54:25,463 --> 00:54:29,400
She may just as well follow her heart

388
00:54:29,467 --> 00:54:32,903
without any mastersong!

389
00:54:32,970 --> 00:54:38,242
Not so! Understand me correctly!

390
00:54:38,309 --> 00:54:43,347
The man to whom you masters
award the prize

391
00:54:43,414 --> 00:54:58,362
The maid can refuse
But she forfeits her choice of any other

392
00:54:59,830 --> 00:55:17,615
It must be a mastersinger
She can only take a man crowned by you

393
00:55:17,682 --> 00:55:25,756
Forgive me, this may be a step too far

394
00:55:27,358 --> 00:55:41,205
A girl's heart and our masters' art
May not be matched in ardour

395
00:55:41,706 --> 00:55:52,917
An innocent woman's choice would reflect
Just as truly that of the people

396
00:55:54,218 --> 00:56:01,892
If you want to show to the people
How highly you value art

397
00:56:01,959 --> 00:56:11,302
And let the girl choose for herself
But do not want her to oppose the verdict

398
00:56:11,369 --> 00:56:21,912
Then let the people also judge
They're sure to agree with the girl

399
00:56:21,979 --> 00:56:28,352
The people? There's a fine thing!
Goodbye to art and mastersong!

400
00:56:28,419 --> 00:56:34,692
No, Sachs, that makes no sense
Would you hand over the rules to the people?

401
00:56:35,226 --> 00:56:39,363
Listen well and stop fussing!

402
00:56:40,564 --> 00:56:46,036
You'll admit I know the rules as well

403
00:56:47,905 --> 00:56:51,742
And to see that the guild preserves them

404
00:56:51,809 --> 00:56:57,481
I have busied myself for many years

405
00:56:57,548 --> 00:57:06,524
But once a year I'd find it wise
To test the rules themselves

406
00:57:07,525 --> 00:57:18,602
To ensure that through dull force of habit
Their life and strength doesn't get lost

407
00:57:19,170 --> 00:57:26,544
Whether you are still
On the right track of nature

408
00:57:26,610 --> 00:57:32,883
Can only be told by someone
Who knows nothing of the Tabulatur

409
00:57:35,686 --> 00:57:38,823
Ha, how the boys rejoice!

410
00:57:38,889 --> 00:57:42,226
Therefore you won't regret

411
00:57:42,293 --> 00:57:49,300
If each year on Midsummer's Day
Instead of letting the people come to you

412
00:57:49,366 --> 00:57:59,443
From your high masters' clouds
You yourselves should turn to the people

413
00:58:00,478 --> 00:58:08,619
You want to please the people
I should have thought it in your interest

414
00:58:09,153 --> 00:58:17,695
To let them tell you themselves
If they are pleased

415
00:58:19,230 --> 00:58:25,903
Art and people can bloom and thrive

416
00:58:27,338 --> 00:58:37,781
Do it this way, say I, Hans Sachs!

417
00:58:38,616 --> 00:58:40,618
Your intentions are good

418
00:58:40,684 --> 00:58:42,453
But it's all wrong-headed

419
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,090
When the people speak, I shut up

420
00:58:46,156 --> 00:58:52,796
Our art will be blighted
If we seek common favour

421
00:58:52,863 --> 00:58:59,870
A blight on him who speaks so bold
This songster of the streets

422
00:59:01,505 --> 00:59:11,348
Friend Sachs, my intent is itself new

423
00:59:11,415 --> 00:59:19,156
Too much at once might bring repentance

424
00:59:25,262 --> 00:59:33,003
So I ask if the masters accept

425
00:59:33,070 --> 00:59:45,349
The gift and rules as I have stated?

426
00:59:52,756 --> 00:59:57,428
As long as the girl has the casting vote

427
00:59:57,494 --> 01:00:00,965
That cobbler always vexes me!

428
01:00:01,031 --> 01:00:07,738
Who will enter his name as competitor?
He must be a bachelor

429
01:00:08,372 --> 01:00:12,343
What about widowers?
Just ask Sachs!

430
01:00:12,409 --> 01:00:18,115
Not so, Mr Marker! Of younger wax

431
01:00:18,182 --> 01:00:28,258
Than you and me the suitor must be
For Eva to award the prize to him

432
01:00:29,126 --> 01:00:32,596
Younger than me too? How rude!

433
01:00:32,663 --> 01:00:38,102
Now step forward anyone

434
01:00:38,168 --> 01:00:42,673
Who wishes to enter the trial song

435
01:00:44,908 --> 01:00:50,748
Yes, Masters, returning to the agenda

436
01:00:50,814 --> 01:00:56,286
Hear me report that I
Following a master's duty

437
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:06,030
Recommend a young knight
Who seeks to be elected

438
01:01:06,096 --> 01:01:12,469
And this day become a mastersinger

439
01:01:13,937 --> 01:01:21,879
My noble Stolzing, step forward!

440
01:01:26,483 --> 01:01:30,654
Just as I thought
So that's your game, Veit?

441
01:01:30,721 --> 01:01:33,757
Masters, surely it's getting too late

442
01:01:33,824 --> 01:01:36,994
This is something new, a knight?

443
01:01:41,231 --> 01:01:45,569
Should we be glad, or is there a danger?

444
01:01:45,636 --> 01:01:53,610
In any case it carries much weight

445
01:01:54,344 --> 01:01:58,615
That Master Pogner speaks for him

446
01:01:58,682 --> 01:02:08,525
If we are to welcome the knight
He must first be heard

447
01:02:08,592 --> 01:02:12,696
So listen well, I wish him luck

448
01:02:12,763 --> 01:02:16,500
But I'm not one to disregard the rules

449
01:02:17,768 --> 01:02:19,903
Masters, put your questions!

450
01:02:20,471 --> 01:02:23,607
So let the knight tell us

451
01:02:24,508 --> 01:02:30,848
If he is free and honourably born

452
01:02:30,914 --> 01:02:34,118
No need to ask further

453
01:02:35,152 --> 01:02:46,530
For I myself can vouch for his noble birth

454
01:02:46,597 --> 01:02:58,242
Von Stolzing, Walther, from Franconia
I know him well by letters and repute

455
01:02:58,976 --> 01:03:10,387
As the last descendant
He recently left his family home and estate

456
01:03:10,454 --> 01:03:21,498
Moving to Nuremberg
In the hope of becoming a burgher here

457
01:03:21,565 --> 01:03:27,771
This upstart noble stripling is no good

458
01:03:27,838 --> 01:03:34,178
Friend Pogner's word is enough

459
01:03:34,244 --> 01:03:42,886
The masters decided long ago
That lineage was irrelevant

460
01:03:42,953 --> 01:03:54,364
Art and the desire to be a mastersinger
Are all that matter here

461
01:03:54,431 --> 01:04:04,341
Therefore I now ask
Whose master's pupil are you?

462
01:04:33,570 --> 01:04:47,384
Reading quietly by the hearth
One snowbound Winter's day

463
01:04:48,285 --> 01:05:03,267
I mused upon
The renewal of the joys of Spring

464
01:05:03,333 --> 01:05:14,211
Inspiration came
From an old favourite family book

465
01:05:14,278 --> 01:05:23,620
It was by Walther von der Vogelweide
My master ever since

466
01:05:25,622 --> 01:05:29,893
A good master!

467
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:36,466
But long since dead
How could he learn from him?

468
01:05:36,533 --> 01:05:44,241
But in which school
Were you taught how to sing?

469
01:05:45,776 --> 01:05:57,754
When the meadow was free from frost
And summertime returned

470
01:05:57,821 --> 01:06:09,066
What previously in long winter nights
The old book had told me

471
01:06:09,132 --> 01:06:18,642
Resounded loudly in the splendid forest
I heard it ring out brightly

472
01:06:19,376 --> 01:06:28,852
The forest and the countryside
They taught me how to sing

473
01:06:30,053 --> 01:06:35,959
Oh! From tits and finches
You learnt the master's melodies?

474
01:06:36,026 --> 01:06:38,362
What an inspiration

475
01:06:38,428 --> 01:06:41,765
He's created two good stanzas already

476
01:06:41,832 --> 01:06:48,338
You praise him, Master Vogelgesang
Because he studied birdsong?

477
01:06:48,405 --> 01:06:57,280
Masters, should we continue?
The nobleman seems in the wrong place

478
01:06:58,982 --> 01:07:07,791
That will soon become clear
If he has true art

479
01:07:07,858 --> 01:07:14,131
And is a good guardian of it
What does it matter who taught him?

480
01:07:16,767 --> 01:07:26,043
Are you ready to show us
If you succeeded in creating a mastersong

481
01:07:26,109 --> 01:07:35,118
Set to your own words and melody
Now at this very moment?

482
01:07:40,424 --> 01:07:44,728
What winter night
What forest splendour

483
01:07:44,795 --> 01:07:49,099
What book and grove taught me

484
01:07:49,733 --> 01:07:54,104
What the wondrous power of the poet's song

485
01:07:54,171 --> 01:07:58,842
Secretly tried to disclose to me

486
01:07:58,909 --> 01:08:02,079
What the trot of a soldier's horse

487
01:08:02,145 --> 01:08:06,383
And the stamp of a festive dance

488
01:08:06,983 --> 01:08:15,959
Thoughtfully made me listen to

489
01:08:19,930 --> 01:08:31,408
If I must sing my own song
To win life's highest prize

490
01:08:31,475 --> 01:08:40,917
My own words and melody will unite
And flow from within

491
01:08:40,984 --> 01:08:53,663
As a mastersong, if I grasp it right
For your approval and delight

492
01:08:56,133 --> 01:08:59,970
Do you understand this gabble?

493
01:09:01,671 --> 01:09:04,608
Oh well, he tries!

494
01:09:09,279 --> 01:09:11,948
A curious case!

495
01:09:17,921 --> 01:09:21,958
Now Masters

496
01:09:24,928 --> 01:09:27,330
If you please

497
01:09:27,797 --> 01:09:33,770
Prepare the marker's box

498
01:09:35,805 --> 01:09:42,712
Does the nobleman choose a sacred theme?

499
01:09:42,779 --> 01:09:49,186
Something sacred to me:
Love's banner

500
01:09:49,252 --> 01:09:54,925
I shall wave, and sing in high hopes

501
01:09:57,260 --> 01:10:00,730
We call that worldly

502
01:10:04,201 --> 01:10:12,776
Therefore proceed
Master Beckmesser, to take your place

503
01:10:14,844 --> 01:10:18,515
A bitter task, and especially today

504
01:10:21,084 --> 01:10:25,121
He'll succumb to a surfeit of chalk

505
01:10:28,191 --> 01:10:36,466
Sir knight, know well
Sixtus Beckmesser is your marker

506
01:10:36,533 --> 01:10:44,474
Here in my box
My strictness demands silence

507
01:10:47,344 --> 01:10:54,284
Seven faults are permitted

508
01:10:55,352 --> 01:10:58,121
And marked up there in chalk

509
01:10:58,188 --> 01:11:03,493
If he incurs more than seven faults

510
01:11:05,161 --> 01:11:10,734
The nobleman has sung his chance away

511
01:11:13,870 --> 01:11:23,446
I'll be listening carefully
But so as not to inhibit you

512
01:11:23,513 --> 01:11:29,886
As might happen if you saw me
I'll leave you in peace

513
01:11:29,953 --> 01:11:42,565
And will be hidden here out of sight
May God be with you

514
01:11:54,911 --> 01:12:05,822
Hear now how to fashion your song
According to the Tabulatur

515
01:12:18,201 --> 01:12:25,608
Each unit of a mastersong
Must present a proper balance

516
01:12:25,675 --> 01:12:36,486
Of its different sections
Against which no one shall offend

517
01:12:43,393 --> 01:12:53,303
A section consist of two stanzas
Which must have the same melody

518
01:12:53,370 --> 01:13:07,517
The stanza is a group of so many lines
The line has its rhyme at the end

519
01:13:09,686 --> 01:13:17,060
Then follows an after song
Also to be so many lines long

520
01:13:17,127 --> 01:13:31,674
With its own special melody
Which is not to occur in the stanza

521
01:13:36,913 --> 01:13:46,923
Each mastersong must have
Several units in this ratio

522
01:13:46,990 --> 01:13:53,663
And whoever composes a new song
Which does not for more than four syllables

523
01:13:53,730 --> 01:14:09,746
Encroach on other master's melodies
His song may win a master's prize!

524
01:14:15,585 --> 01:14:19,656
Be seated in the singer's chair

525
01:14:22,992 --> 01:14:26,396
Here, in this chair?

526
01:14:26,463 --> 01:14:30,066
It's the school custom

527
01:14:40,410 --> 01:14:47,083
This is all for you, my love

528
01:14:48,985 --> 01:14:51,521
The singer sits

529
01:14:56,593 --> 01:14:59,596
Begin!

530
01:15:04,033 --> 01:15:09,005
Begin!

531
01:15:15,912 --> 01:15:24,587
So rant the echo of spring
Loudly through the forest

532
01:15:25,154 --> 01:15:32,228
And as in more distant waves
The sound speeds away

533
01:15:32,295 --> 01:15:39,168
From farther off comes a swelling
Which powerfully draws nearer

534
01:15:39,235 --> 01:15:42,972
It swells and resounds
The forest rings

535
01:15:43,039 --> 01:15:45,642
With a myriad of lovely voices

536
01:15:46,342 --> 01:15:50,313
Now loud and bright
And near at hand

537
01:15:50,380 --> 01:15:54,083
How the sound grows
Like the clanging of bells

538
01:15:54,150 --> 01:15:58,254
The throng of jubilation rings out!

539
01:15:58,321 --> 01:16:01,925
The forest
How soon

540
01:16:01,991 --> 01:16:09,699
It answers to the call
Which brought new life to it

541
01:16:11,267 --> 01:16:21,744
With its own sweet song of spring

542
01:16:26,549 --> 01:16:32,121
In a thorny hedge
Consumed by jealousy and grief

543
01:16:33,289 --> 01:16:40,463
Winter, grimly armed
Had to hide himself away

544
01:16:40,530 --> 01:16:48,338
Dry leaves rustling about him
He lies in waiting

545
01:16:48,404 --> 01:16:57,280
Planning to harm
This joyful singing

546
01:17:00,750 --> 01:17:08,825
But: begin!
Was the call in my breast

547
01:17:09,158 --> 01:17:14,664
When I was still ignorant of love

548
01:17:14,731 --> 01:17:21,938
I felt it rising deep within me
As if waking me from a dream

549
01:17:22,005 --> 01:17:29,612
My heart with pounding beats
Filled my whole bosom

550
01:17:29,679 --> 01:17:33,716
My blood is boiling
All-powerfully

551
01:17:33,783 --> 01:17:37,620
Stirred up by this new feeling

552
01:17:37,687 --> 01:17:41,658
From a warm night
With superior strength

553
01:17:41,724 --> 01:17:45,595
This host of sighs
Swells to a sea

554
01:17:45,662 --> 01:17:49,499
In a wild tumult of bliss

555
01:17:49,966 --> 01:17:53,302
The Breast
How soon

556
01:17:53,369 --> 01:18:00,743
It answers the call
Which brought it new life

557
01:18:02,078 --> 01:18:13,923
Fired by
The sublime song of love!

558
01:18:14,624 --> 01:18:16,993
- Are you done?
- Why do you ask?

559
01:18:17,060 --> 01:18:20,263
There's no more room on the slate

560
01:18:25,968 --> 01:18:32,575
But I'm just coming to the melody
In praise of my lady

561
01:18:32,642 --> 01:18:40,616
Sing wherever, you have failed here
Masters, look at the slate

562
01:18:41,050 --> 01:18:44,587
I've never heard anything like it

563
01:18:44,654 --> 01:18:49,859
I shouldn't believe it
Even if you all swear to it

564
01:18:49,926 --> 01:18:56,265
You allow him to interrupt me, Masters?

565
01:18:56,332 --> 01:19:01,838
Am I to remain unheard by all?

566
01:19:01,904 --> 01:19:05,541
A word, Mr Marker! You are angry

567
01:19:05,608 --> 01:19:09,178
Let him be marker who coverts it!

568
01:19:09,245 --> 01:19:15,318
But that the knight has sung his chance away
I'll first show before the masters' assembly

569
01:19:15,384 --> 01:19:23,926
I'll have my work cut out
No start nor finish, where do I begin?

570
01:19:23,993 --> 01:19:28,598
Of false number and false grouping
I'll make absolutely no mention

571
01:19:28,664 --> 01:19:34,704
Too short, too long, how to find an end?
Who would seriously call this a unit?

572
01:19:34,771 --> 01:19:40,243
But my only criticism is "obscure meaning"

573
01:19:41,911 --> 01:19:48,017
Have you ever heard such nonsense?

574
01:19:48,084 --> 01:19:55,491
Hard to make head or tail of, I must admit
Difficult to see how it might end

575
01:19:55,558 --> 01:19:59,562
And the melody, all a mad jumble

576
01:19:59,629 --> 01:20:03,399
of "Adventure" and "Blue Larkspur" tunes

577
01:20:03,466 --> 01:20:06,269
"High Fir-Tree" and "Proud Youth" tones!

578
01:20:06,335 --> 01:20:11,240
Yes, it all went above my head

579
01:20:11,307 --> 01:20:21,417
No pause, no coloratura
and not a trace of melody!

580
01:20:21,484 --> 01:20:23,286
Call that singing?

581
01:20:25,621 --> 01:20:27,056
Made me queasy!

582
01:20:28,591 --> 01:20:31,994
- Thought my eardrums would burst
- Empty racket!

583
01:20:32,061 --> 01:20:34,964
Didn't even stay seated!

584
01:20:35,031 --> 01:20:41,437
Will you press for proof of his faults
Or just declare he's sung his chance away?

585
01:20:42,305 --> 01:20:48,444
Wait a moment, Masters!

586
01:20:52,248 --> 01:20:59,956
Not everyone shares your view

587
01:21:00,022 --> 01:21:11,367
His song sounded new
But not confused

588
01:21:11,434 --> 01:21:22,545
Some guidelines were broken
But he remained firm and true

589
01:21:23,312 --> 01:21:32,755
If you want to measure by the rules
something which does not conform to them

590
01:21:32,822 --> 01:21:41,964
Forget your own ways
And first consider its own rules

591
01:21:42,031 --> 01:21:48,804
Aha! That's right! Now you hear it
Sachs is opening a loop-hole for bunglers

592
01:21:48,871 --> 01:21:56,913
To come and go as they please
And easily wreck everything

593
01:21:56,979 --> 01:22:05,354
Proclaim it to the people in song
Acceptance here is only by the rules

594
01:22:05,421 --> 01:22:17,400
Mr Marker, why such fervour?
Why so little calm?

595
01:22:17,466 --> 01:22:27,009
Your judgement would be more mature
If you listened more carefully

596
01:22:27,076 --> 01:22:36,485
I'll conclude by asking
That the nobleman be heard to the end

597
01:22:36,552 --> 01:22:40,856
So, beside Sachs, the guild
And the entire school count for nothing!

598
01:22:40,923 --> 01:22:50,032
God forbid that I'm asking
For the rules to be broken

599
01:22:50,099 --> 01:23:00,643
However, they do clearly state
"The marker shall be so disposed

600
01:23:01,577 --> 01:23:14,924
That neither hatred nor love
Obscure the judgement which he gives"

601
01:23:20,796 --> 01:23:32,875
So, if he's going wooing
Why should he not satisfy his desire

602
01:23:34,310 --> 01:23:44,420
To disgrace a rival in the chair
Before the whole school?

603
01:23:44,487 --> 01:23:46,522
You go too far!

604
01:23:46,589 --> 01:23:52,194
- Too personal!
- Stop this discord, Masters!

605
01:23:52,261 --> 01:23:56,432
Why should Herr Sachs be concerned
Where or how I'm going?

606
01:23:56,499 --> 01:24:01,504
He would do better
To ensure nothing pinches my toes

607
01:24:01,570 --> 01:24:08,511
But since he prefers to be a poet
The future looks bleak for my footwear

608
01:24:09,278 --> 01:24:12,314
Look how sloppy they are
Flapping all over the place

609
01:24:12,381 --> 01:24:17,053
All his verses and rhymes
I'd gladly have him leave at home

610
01:24:17,119 --> 01:24:25,694
Histories, plays, and farces too
If he'd bring me my new shoes tomorrow

611
01:24:30,099 --> 01:24:36,839
You do right to remind me
But is it fitting, Masters, tell me

612
01:24:36,906 --> 01:24:46,949
That, if I make a little verse
For even the donkey-drover's soles

613
01:24:47,016 --> 01:24:54,890
Should I not do the same
For our highly learned town clerk?

614
01:24:55,424 --> 01:25:05,835
The little verse, worthy of you
I with all my humble poetic gifts

615
01:25:05,901 --> 01:25:15,211
Have not yet found
But it will surely come to me now

616
01:25:15,277 --> 01:25:23,285
When I've heard the knight's song
So let him sing on undisturbed

617
01:25:23,352 --> 01:25:25,054
No more! An end!

618
01:25:25,121 --> 01:25:27,123
An end! Enough!

619
01:25:27,189 --> 01:25:29,692
Sing now and defy Mr Marker!

620
01:25:29,758 --> 01:25:32,595
What more should we hear?
Unless it were to delude you?

621
01:25:32,661 --> 01:25:39,835
From a dark thorny hedge
The owl speeds forth

622
01:25:39,902 --> 01:25:42,037
Each mistake, great and small

623
01:25:42,104 --> 01:25:49,578
Awaking all around with its screeching
The hoarse chorus of ravens

624
01:25:49,645 --> 01:25:52,915
- In vast nocturnal horde
- False grouping!

625
01:25:52,982 --> 01:25:56,685
- How they all begin to croak
- Unspeakable words!

626
01:25:56,752 --> 01:26:01,223
- With their hollow voices
- Affixes!

627
01:26:01,290 --> 01:26:05,494
- Magpies, crows and jackdaws!
- Here vices even!

628
01:26:07,196 --> 01:26:15,237
- There rises on a pair of golden wings
- Ha, what spirit!

629
01:26:15,237 --> 01:26:18,274
- A wondrous bird
- What glow of inspiration!

630
01:26:18,340 --> 01:26:25,814
Its dazzling bright plumage
Shines light in the breeze

631
01:26:25,881 --> 01:26:35,057
Blissfully hovering now and again
It beckons me to fly and flee

632
01:26:35,124 --> 01:26:39,795
My heart swells
With sweet pain

633
01:26:39,862 --> 01:26:42,965
In my need wings sprout

634
01:26:43,032 --> 01:26:48,204
It soars
In bold progress

635
01:26:48,270 --> 01:26:52,274
To fly through the air
Up from the tombs of cities

636
01:26:52,341 --> 01:26:56,278
To its native hill

637
01:26:57,146 --> 01:27:05,120
To the green meadow
Where Master Walther once set me free

638
01:27:05,955 --> 01:27:13,462
There I sing bright and clear
In honour of my dearest lady

639
01:27:13,529 --> 01:27:21,237
Upwards then climbs
Though master-crows don't wish it well

640
01:27:21,971 --> 01:27:30,846
- Sachs has chosen him for his own!
- The proud love song!

641
01:27:30,913 --> 01:27:33,983
It's really vexatious!

642
01:27:35,117 --> 01:27:42,424
The flowery garland of fine silks
Will it be granted to the knight?

643
01:27:42,491 --> 01:27:45,928
- Farewell, you masters here below!
- Vote and raise your hands!

644
01:27:45,995 --> 01:27:48,797
Completely sung away his chance!

645
01:28:45,487 --> 01:28:46,288
Come!

646
01:30:47,309 --> 01:30:52,314
Midsummer's Day! Midsummer's Day!

647
01:30:52,381 --> 01:30:56,618
As many flowers and ribbons as you like

648
01:30:56,685 --> 01:31:09,832
The little flowery garland of fine silks
May it soon be granted to me!

649
01:31:09,898 --> 01:31:12,134
David!

650
01:31:12,201 --> 01:31:16,138
You again?
Go sing your silly songs alone!

651
01:31:16,205 --> 01:31:21,910
David, what's the matter?
If you weren't so proud

652
01:31:21,977 --> 01:31:25,481
You'd look more carefully
If you weren't so silly!

653
01:31:25,547 --> 01:31:30,052
Midsummer's Day! Midsummer's Day!

654
01:31:30,118 --> 01:31:34,723
He's even ignoring fair Lena!

655
01:31:35,357 --> 01:31:38,560
David! Listen! Look at me!

656
01:31:38,627 --> 01:31:40,863
Ah, Lena, you're here?

657
01:31:40,929 --> 01:31:45,734
I've a treat for you, look inside
Something for my sweetheart

658
01:31:45,801 --> 01:31:48,570
But first, tell me how the knight got on

659
01:31:48,637 --> 01:31:52,074
Did your advice win him the trial?

660
01:31:52,140 --> 01:31:55,511
Ah, Lena, it's a sorry tale

661
01:31:55,577 --> 01:32:00,582
- He has completely sung away his chance
- Sung away? Completely?

662
01:32:00,649 --> 01:32:01,884
Why such concern?

663
01:32:01,950 --> 01:32:05,888
Hand off!
No treats for you!

664
01:32:05,954 --> 01:32:12,294
God help us, our young noble failed!

665
01:32:13,996 --> 01:32:17,799
Hail to the young man on his marriage!

666
01:32:17,866 --> 01:32:20,569
What a successful courtship

667
01:32:20,636 --> 01:32:24,273
We all heard and saw it too

668
01:32:24,339 --> 01:32:25,607
She who has his heart

669
01:32:25,674 --> 01:32:30,379
She for whom he would give his life
Hasn't given him the basket!

670
01:32:30,445 --> 01:32:33,248
Have you no work to do?
Shut up this instant!

671
01:32:33,315 --> 01:32:40,822
Midsummer's Day! Midsummer's Day!
Every man woos as he wishes

672
01:32:40,889 --> 01:32:45,794
The master woos
The apprentice woos

673
01:32:45,861 --> 01:32:49,565
It's all slap and tickle

674
01:32:49,631 --> 01:32:53,635
The old man and the young girl

675
01:32:53,702 --> 01:33:01,777
The apprentice and the old maid

676
01:33:01,843 --> 01:33:09,851
Hurrah! Hurrah! Midsummer's Day!

677
01:33:11,987 --> 01:33:15,724
What's going on? Fighting again?

678
01:33:15,791 --> 01:33:18,760
Not me, they're singing rude songs!

679
01:33:18,827 --> 01:33:24,933
Don't listen, learn better than them
Time for bed, go in and light the lamp

680
01:33:29,271 --> 01:33:30,806
Do I have a singing lesson?

681
01:33:31,907 --> 01:33:37,245
No singing for you
As punishment for your levity earlier

682
01:33:40,315 --> 01:33:43,652
Put the new shoes on the last for me!

683
01:34:00,802 --> 01:34:05,607
Let's see if Master Sachs is home

684
01:34:05,674 --> 01:34:09,611
I'd like a word with him, shall I go in?

685
01:34:11,513 --> 01:34:15,050
I think he's home, there is alight

686
01:34:20,188 --> 01:34:25,927
Shall I? What for?

687
01:34:25,994 --> 01:34:27,195
Better not!

688
01:34:30,866 --> 01:34:45,213
But if nothing's ventured
What is there to gain?

689
01:34:51,787 --> 01:35:01,730
He was the one who thought I went too far

690
01:35:04,499 --> 01:35:13,375
And if I left the beaten track
I was only following his example

691
01:35:16,445 --> 01:35:27,422
Although perhaps with a touch of vanity?

692
01:35:37,899 --> 01:35:48,610
And you, my child, nothing to say?

693
01:35:51,046 --> 01:35:58,053
An obedient child speaks only when asked

694
01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:06,294
So wise, so good

695
01:36:09,030 --> 01:36:18,373
Come, sit down here
With me on the bench for a while

696
01:36:19,541 --> 01:36:26,681
Won't it be too cool?
It was quite close today

697
01:36:29,718 --> 01:36:42,030
No, no, it's mild and pleasant
A delightful balmy evening

698
01:36:42,097 --> 01:36:56,812
This suggests that tomorrow
Will be the most beautiful day

699
01:36:56,878 --> 01:37:09,357
0 child, don't your heartbeat tell you
What happiness awaits you tomorrow

700
01:37:11,927 --> 01:37:18,233
When all of Nuremberg
Burghers and commoners

701
01:37:19,568 --> 01:37:26,474
Guilds, people, and high council
Shall assemble before you

702
01:37:27,609 --> 01:37:37,118
That you may award the prize
That noble garland

703
01:37:37,185 --> 01:37:50,732
To your groom, the master of your choice?

704
01:37:57,639 --> 01:38:05,046
Dear father, must it be a master?

705
01:38:05,113 --> 01:38:10,318
Listen carefully: a master of your choice

706
01:38:13,021 --> 01:38:14,422
Yes, of my choice

707
01:38:14,489 --> 01:38:20,495
Let's go in now, I'm coming, Lena
It's time for supper

708
01:38:21,529 --> 01:38:23,398
But there's no guest?

709
01:38:23,465 --> 01:38:25,433
- The nobleman, I thought?
- Why?

710
01:38:25,500 --> 01:38:27,535
Haven't you seen him today?

711
01:38:27,602 --> 01:38:30,772
I wasn't best pleased with him

712
01:38:31,306 --> 01:38:35,243
But no...
What is it?

713
01:38:36,378 --> 01:38:38,947
Ah, am I growing dim?

714
01:38:41,416 --> 01:38:46,688
Come, dear papa, go and change

715
01:38:46,755 --> 01:38:51,993
Hm, what's going round in my head?

716
01:38:52,060 --> 01:38:54,663
- What does he say?
- Not a word

717
01:38:54,729 --> 01:38:57,599
David reckons he failed

718
01:38:57,666 --> 01:39:01,636
The knight?
God help me, what am I to do?

719
01:39:01,703 --> 01:39:05,740
Ah, Lena, what anguish!
How can we find out?

720
01:39:05,807 --> 01:39:07,809
From Sachs maybe?

721
01:39:07,876 --> 01:39:10,245
Ah, yes, he's fond of me

722
01:39:10,312 --> 01:39:15,183
- I'll go and ask him
- Don't give anything away

723
01:39:15,250 --> 01:39:19,321
Your father would notice if you stayed out

724
01:39:19,387 --> 01:39:23,058
After supper
Then I shall have more to say

725
01:39:23,124 --> 01:39:26,361
Which someone has secretly told me

726
01:39:26,428 --> 01:39:29,898
- Who, the nobleman?
- Certainly not!

727
01:39:31,700 --> 01:39:33,368
Beckmesser!

728
01:39:34,436 --> 01:39:37,372
I can hardly wait

729
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:41,309
Show me
It looks good

730
01:39:43,311 --> 01:39:49,084
Move my bench and stool over to the door

731
01:39:50,986 --> 01:39:54,489
Go to bed, rise early

732
01:39:54,556 --> 01:39:57,759
Sleep off stupidity, be sharp tomorrow

733
01:39:57,826 --> 01:40:00,829
- Will you carry on working?
- What's it to you?

734
01:40:03,198 --> 01:40:06,534
What's wrong with Lena?
Heaven knows!

735
01:40:08,470 --> 01:40:12,073
Why is my Master staying up?

736
01:40:12,807 --> 01:40:15,276
- Still here?
- Sleep well, Master

737
01:40:16,544 --> 01:40:17,612
Good night

738
01:40:59,554 --> 01:41:13,301
So mild, so strong and full
Is the scent of the elder tree

739
01:41:17,038 --> 01:41:33,822
It relaxes my limbs
It makes me want to say something

740
01:41:47,969 --> 01:42:00,849
But what can I meaningfully say?
I'm just a poor, simple man

741
01:42:03,118 --> 01:42:10,492
If work is not to my taste
You might, friend, rather release me

742
01:42:10,558 --> 01:42:21,236
I would do better to stretch leather
And give up all poetry

743
01:42:59,440 --> 01:43:05,547
But this feeling won't let me go

744
01:43:11,386 --> 01:43:17,659
I sense it without understanding

745
01:43:19,527 --> 01:43:28,002
Beyond reach, yet always there

746
01:43:28,069 --> 01:43:36,511
Even if grasped,
there's no way to measure it

747
01:43:36,578 --> 01:43:42,550
But then, how should I grasp

748
01:43:42,617 --> 01:43:51,459
What seemed to me immeasurable?

749
01:43:54,028 --> 01:43:58,833
The song was unruly

750
01:44:02,203 --> 01:44:07,308
And yet was without fault

751
01:44:09,877 --> 01:44:18,152
It sounded so old, and yet was so new

752
01:44:18,219 --> 01:44:25,660
Like birdsong in lovely May

753
01:44:27,462 --> 01:44:32,433
Who heard it
And, carried away by madness

754
01:44:32,500 --> 01:44:40,174
Imitated its song
Would earn derision and disgrace

755
01:44:43,778 --> 01:44:58,860
Spring's command
Sweet necessity

756
01:44:58,926 --> 01:45:07,702
Placed it in his breast

757
01:45:10,672 --> 01:45:19,681
He sang as he had to

758
01:45:22,617 --> 01:45:28,523
And as he had to, so he could

759
01:45:30,925 --> 01:45:36,964
It was a thing of wonder

760
01:45:56,084 --> 01:46:10,465
The bird that sang today
Had a finely-formed beak

761
01:46:10,531 --> 01:46:21,609
The masters may have been uneasy
But he certainly pleased Hans Sachs!

762
01:46:33,054 --> 01:46:41,396
Good evening, Master
Still hard at work?

763
01:46:41,462 --> 01:46:47,268
Ah, child, dear Eva, up so late?

764
01:46:47,335 --> 01:46:52,173
And yet, I know why so late:

765
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:54,375
The new shoes

766
01:46:54,442 --> 01:46:57,845
Not at all

767
01:46:57,912 --> 01:47:06,621
I have not yet even tried the shoes yet
They are so beautiful and richly adorned

768
01:47:06,687 --> 01:47:11,125
That I have not yet dared
to put them on my feet

769
01:47:15,263 --> 01:47:20,935
But you will wear them
as tomorrow's bride-to-be?

770
01:47:22,603 --> 01:47:25,473
So who's to be the bridegroom?

771
01:47:25,540 --> 01:47:29,076
- Who can tell?
- How do you know <i>I'll</i> be a bride?

772
01:47:29,143 --> 01:47:32,113
The whole town knows

773
01:47:32,180 --> 01:47:39,120
Well, if the whole town knows
Then friend Sachs is well informed

774
01:47:40,488 --> 01:47:45,593
I thought he might know more

775
01:47:45,660 --> 01:47:48,596
What should I know?

776
01:47:48,663 --> 01:47:54,802
Well, think!
Do I have to spell it out?

777
01:47:56,304 --> 01:47:58,172
I must be quite stupid?

778
01:47:58,239 --> 01:48:00,842
I'm not saying that

779
01:48:00,908 --> 01:48:05,546
- Then you are shrewd?
- Who knows?

780
01:48:05,613 --> 01:48:12,520
You know nothing? You say nothing?
Sachs, my friend

781
01:48:12,587 --> 01:48:17,859
I realise now
That pitch is not wax

782
01:48:17,925 --> 01:48:20,561
I would have thought you sharper

783
01:48:20,628 --> 01:48:29,437
Child, both wax and pitch are familiar to me

784
01:48:29,504 --> 01:48:36,210
With wax I coated the silken threads

785
01:48:36,277 --> 01:48:40,815
With which I made your pretty shoes

786
01:48:41,349 --> 01:48:45,720
Today I'm making shoes with thicker yarn

787
01:48:45,786 --> 01:48:50,558
And pitch is required for a rougher customer

788
01:48:50,625 --> 01:48:53,761
Who is that? Someone important?

789
01:48:53,828 --> 01:48:59,767
Indeed!
For a proud master going courting

790
01:48:59,834 --> 01:49:07,608
Intent on winning tomorrow
Mr Beckmesser's shoes must be finished

791
01:49:07,675 --> 01:49:13,514
Use plenty of pitch so that
He sticks to them and leaves me alone!

792
01:49:13,581 --> 01:49:17,251
He clearly hopes to win you by his singing

793
01:49:17,318 --> 01:49:18,719
Why him?

794
01:49:18,786 --> 01:49:28,262
A bachelor
There are few of them about here

795
01:49:31,198 --> 01:49:37,338
Might not a widower be successful?

796
01:49:37,405 --> 01:49:41,776
He's too old for you, my child

797
01:49:41,842 --> 01:49:52,920
Why too old? Art is what matters here
And a suitor who's sensitive to it

798
01:49:52,987 --> 01:50:00,361
Dear Eva, are you teasing me?

799
01:50:00,428 --> 01:50:05,566
Not I, it's you who's making excuses

800
01:50:05,633 --> 01:50:10,338
Admit that you are fickle

801
01:50:10,404 --> 01:50:15,409
God knows who's held in your heart

802
01:50:16,644 --> 01:50:21,449
I thought it was me for many a year

803
01:50:22,049 --> 01:50:27,221
Because I loved carrying you in my arms?

804
01:50:27,288 --> 01:50:33,361
So it was only because you were childless

805
01:50:33,427 --> 01:50:40,534
I once had wife and children enough

806
01:50:40,601 --> 01:50:48,042
But your wife died and I've grown tall

807
01:50:48,109 --> 01:50:54,515
Tall indeed, and beautiful

808
01:50:54,582 --> 01:51:03,224
So I was thinking
You might take me in as wife and child?

809
01:51:03,290 --> 01:51:09,430
Then I'd have a child and wife too

810
01:51:09,964 --> 01:51:15,603
What a pleasant way of life

811
01:51:15,670 --> 01:51:20,007
Yes, you've thought it through so well

812
01:51:20,074 --> 01:51:23,044
Are you ridiculing me?

813
01:51:23,778 --> 01:51:29,984
Then maybe you wouldn't mind
If under your nose and in the sight of all

814
01:51:30,051 --> 01:51:33,487
Beckmesser won me tomorrow with his song?

815
01:51:33,554 --> 01:51:42,730
Who's to prevent him, if he wins?
Only your father can answer that

816
01:51:42,797 --> 01:51:51,105
Where does a master keep his brains?
Would I be here if the answer lies at home?

817
01:51:52,106 --> 01:52:00,247
Yes, you're right
My head is spinning

818
01:52:01,649 --> 01:52:12,860
With all today's worry and confusion
I can't concentrate properly

819
01:52:12,927 --> 01:52:18,199
The singing school, no doubt
Did it meet today?

820
01:52:22,103 --> 01:52:28,375
Yes, child, a song trial has disturbed me

821
01:52:28,442 --> 01:52:32,213
Well, Sachs, you should have said so at once

822
01:52:32,279 --> 01:52:36,016
I wouldn't have bothered you with questions

823
01:52:37,551 --> 01:52:44,325
Say, who was it who asked for a trial?

824
01:52:48,596 --> 01:52:55,035
A nobleman, child, quite untutored

825
01:52:55,102 --> 01:53:01,809
A knight? O my! Was he admitted?

826
01:53:01,876 --> 01:53:05,146
No, my child, there was much dispute

827
01:53:05,212 --> 01:53:09,250
Tell me, what happened?

828
01:53:09,817 --> 01:53:13,487
If it disturbed you,
how could it leave me in peace?

829
01:53:13,554 --> 01:53:17,925
So he fared badly, and failed?

830
01:53:17,992 --> 01:53:22,596
Hopelessly, the knight sang his chance away

831
01:53:22,663 --> 01:53:24,031
Eva! Hist!

832
01:53:26,767 --> 01:53:31,972
Hopelessly? How?
Is there no way of helping him?

833
01:53:33,140 --> 01:53:36,844
Did he sing so badly, so faultily

834
01:53:36,911 --> 01:53:41,081
That nothing can help him become a master?

835
01:53:41,148 --> 01:53:46,987
My child, for him all is lost

836
01:53:47,054 --> 01:53:52,159
He'll never be accepted as a master

837
01:53:52,226 --> 01:53:57,398
For he who was born a master

838
01:53:57,464 --> 01:54:01,402
Has among masters the worst standing

839
01:54:01,468 --> 01:54:05,139
- Your father's calling
- Then tell me further

840
01:54:05,206 --> 01:54:10,911
Does no Master support him?

841
01:54:10,978 --> 01:54:25,759
Who would in earnest be his friend
After he made us masters feel so small?

842
01:54:25,826 --> 01:54:32,066
Sir High-and-Mighty, let him go
May he fight his way through the world

843
01:54:32,132 --> 01:54:35,970
What we learned with difficulty and labour

844
01:54:36,036 --> 01:54:45,479
Let us savour in peace
Let him not run rings around us

845
01:54:45,546 --> 01:54:51,886
May fortune smile upon him
somewhere else

846
01:54:51,952 --> 01:54:59,960
Yes, it shall smile upon him elsewhere
Not among you nasty, small-minded men

847
01:55:00,794 --> 01:55:11,438
Somewhere warm and welcoming
Away from the malice of Master Sachs!

848
01:55:11,505 --> 01:55:16,477
At once, Lena! At once! I'm just coming!
What comfort could I take from here?

849
01:55:17,077 --> 01:55:20,514
It reeks of pitch

850
01:55:21,815 --> 01:55:28,155
He should burn it to find warmth

851
01:55:37,097 --> 01:55:39,033
Just as I thought

852
01:55:41,201 --> 01:55:44,138
Now I must find a way

853
01:55:45,606 --> 01:55:50,444
Good heavens! Where are you, so late?
Your father was calling

854
01:55:50,511 --> 01:55:55,449
Go in to him
Say I'm in bed in my chamber

855
01:55:55,916 --> 01:56:05,592
No, no, hear me, let me have my word
Beckmesser found me, I couldn't get away

856
01:56:05,659 --> 01:56:13,567
Tonight you are to be at your window
He wants to serenade you

857
01:56:13,634 --> 01:56:20,874
With the song which he hopes will win you
To see if you like it

858
01:56:21,508 --> 01:56:26,680
That's all I need!
If only it was the other one

859
01:56:26,747 --> 01:56:28,215
Have you seen David?

860
01:56:28,282 --> 01:56:29,950
What's he to me?

861
01:56:31,785 --> 01:56:36,557
I was too hard on him, he'll be fretting

862
01:56:36,623 --> 01:56:40,361
- Still no-one?
- I'm sure someone's coming

863
01:56:41,662 --> 01:56:43,297
Would it were he

864
01:56:43,964 --> 01:56:46,800
Come, we must go in now

865
01:56:46,867 --> 01:56:54,074
Not until I've seen my beloved!

866
01:56:54,141 --> 01:56:58,946
I was wrong, it wasn't him

867
01:56:59,013 --> 01:57:03,150
Come along, your father will be suspicious

868
01:57:03,217 --> 01:57:06,086
- How anxious I am
- And we must also discuss

869
01:57:06,153 --> 01:57:08,555
How to get rid of Beckmesser

870
01:57:08,622 --> 01:57:11,525
You go to the window instead of me

871
01:57:11,592 --> 01:57:13,193
What, me?

872
01:57:13,260 --> 01:57:17,231
David would be jealous

873
01:57:17,297 --> 01:57:21,702
His window's on the alley
Ha, that would be fun!

874
01:57:21,769 --> 01:57:25,639
- I hear footsteps, coming closer
- Come, you must go in now

875
01:57:25,706 --> 01:57:30,310
I'm sure it's nothing, come along
Wait until your father's in bed

876
01:57:30,377 --> 01:57:32,246
He! Lene! Eva!

877
01:57:32,312 --> 01:57:36,850
It's high time
Do you hear? Your noble is long gone

878
01:57:41,688 --> 01:57:46,760
- There he is!
- That's that! Now we must be cunning!

879
01:57:53,867 --> 01:57:58,105
Yes, it's you
It is you

880
01:57:58,172 --> 01:58:02,409
<i>I'll</i> tell everything
For you know it

881
01:58:02,476 --> 01:58:06,680
I'll lament everything
For I know it

882
01:58:06,747 --> 01:58:14,288
You are both
A prizewinning hero

883
01:58:14,354 --> 01:58:18,058
And my only friend!

884
01:58:18,125 --> 01:58:22,296
Alas, you're wrong, I'm only your friend

885
01:58:22,362 --> 01:58:29,536
Not yet worthy of the prize
Not the equal of the masters

886
01:58:30,304 --> 01:58:39,580
My inspiration was met with contempt
And I know I may not aspire

887
01:58:39,646 --> 01:58:43,016
To your fair hand

888
01:58:43,083 --> 01:58:53,460
How wrong you are!
My hand alone will award the prize

889
01:58:53,527 --> 01:59:03,370
As my heart discovered your courage
Only to you will I give the garland

890
01:59:03,437 --> 01:59:11,612
No, you are wrong, your hand
Even if pledged to no-one else

891
01:59:11,678 --> 01:59:20,487
Would, bound by your father's will
Still be lost to me

892
01:59:23,123 --> 01:59:32,566
"Only a mastersinger crowned by you
Can my daughter choose"

893
01:59:32,633 --> 01:59:40,841
He spoke solemnly to the gentlemen
And can't retract, even if he wanted to

894
01:59:40,908 --> 01:59:49,049
That's what gave me courage
Though everything seemed strange

895
01:59:49,116 --> 01:59:57,524
I sang full of love and ardour
That I might win the master rank

896
01:59:58,559 --> 02:00:04,665
But these masters!

897
02:00:05,365 --> 02:00:13,340
Ha, these masters!
The sticky nature of these rhyming laws!

898
02:00:13,407 --> 02:00:17,077
My gall rises
My heart stands still

899
02:00:17,144 --> 02:00:20,981
When I think of the trap
Into which I was lured

900
02:00:21,548 --> 02:00:31,725
Away to freedom!
That's where I belong

901
02:00:31,792 --> 02:00:35,896
Master of my own devices

902
02:00:36,997 --> 02:00:44,972
If I'm to woo you today
I beseech you now

903
02:00:45,038 --> 02:00:51,044
Come, follow me away from here!

904
02:00:52,112 --> 02:00:57,551
Without any hope
There is no other choice

905
02:00:57,618 --> 02:01:00,387
Everywhere masters
Like evil spirits

906
02:01:00,454 --> 02:01:04,491
Ganging up
To mock me

907
02:01:05,659 --> 02:01:08,161
With their guilds
From marker's boxes

908
02:01:08,228 --> 02:01:10,163
From every corner
In every spot

909
02:01:10,230 --> 02:01:13,066
Nothing but masters
Crowding together

910
02:01:13,133 --> 02:01:15,836
With scornful nods
Brazenly staring at you

911
02:01:16,536 --> 02:01:19,273
Surrounding you
In circles and rings

912
02:01:19,339 --> 02:01:22,776
Nasally and shrilly
Demanding you as their bride

913
02:01:22,843 --> 02:01:26,146
As master's mistress
In the singer's chair

914
02:01:26,213 --> 02:01:32,386
Lifting you up high
Trembling and quaking

915
02:01:32,452 --> 02:01:40,627
Is this what I must endure
With meek surrender and acceptance?

916
02:01:58,745 --> 02:02:11,058
My love, calm down
It was only the night watchman's horn

917
02:02:14,528 --> 02:02:20,534
Beneath the lime-tree
Hide yourself quickly

918
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:23,770
The Watchman will come past here

919
02:02:23,837 --> 02:02:29,976
Eva! It's time! Take your leave!

920
02:02:31,745 --> 02:02:34,147
You'll flee?

921
02:02:34,214 --> 02:02:36,249
Do I have a choice?

922
02:02:36,850 --> 02:02:40,120
Escape?

923
02:02:40,187 --> 02:02:47,794
From the master's court

924
02:03:06,513 --> 02:03:19,826
Hear ye, good people
The clock has struck ten

925
02:03:20,761 --> 02:03:37,177
Guard fire and light
To prevent all harm

926
02:03:38,645 --> 02:03:49,456
Praise ye the Lord!

927
02:04:01,268 --> 02:04:05,672
There's mischief afoot

928
02:04:07,107 --> 02:04:11,211
An elopement being planned?

929
02:04:11,278 --> 02:04:14,448
Watch out, this must not happen

930
02:04:15,382 --> 02:04:19,886
Is she not coming back?
I can't bear it

931
02:04:21,455 --> 02:04:27,861
But yes! Is that her? 0 woe, no!

932
02:04:27,928 --> 02:04:29,296
It's the other one

933
02:04:33,066 --> 02:04:35,969
But... yes, it's her!

934
02:04:38,405 --> 02:04:43,276
Here she is, the foolish child, I'm yours!

935
02:04:43,343 --> 02:04:50,217
O heavens!
Now I know the master's prize is mine

936
02:04:50,283 --> 02:04:53,386
But no time for thought now!
Away, away from here!

937
02:04:53,453 --> 02:04:54,721
If only we were gone

938
02:04:54,788 --> 02:04:56,156
Down the alley there

939
02:04:56,223 --> 02:04:59,793
Beyond the gate
My servant and horses are waiting

940
02:05:02,362 --> 02:05:11,438
Oh dear, the cobbler! If he were to see us!
Hide! Don't go near him!

941
02:05:11,505 --> 02:05:14,040
What other way will lead us out?

942
02:05:14,107 --> 02:05:18,578
Through the street there, but it's winding
And I don't know it well

943
02:05:18,645 --> 02:05:21,281
And we would meet the watchman there

944
02:05:21,348 --> 02:05:23,049
Well then, through the alley

945
02:05:23,116 --> 02:05:26,653
- Not till the cobbler leaves his window
- I'll make him leave it

946
02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:29,956
- Don't show yourself, he knows you!
- The cobbler?

947
02:05:30,023 --> 02:05:32,325
- It's Sachs!
- Sachs? He's my friend

948
02:05:32,392 --> 02:05:36,229
That's what you think!
He only speaks ill of you

949
02:05:36,296 --> 02:05:41,735
What? Sachs too?
<i>I'll</i> put out his light

950
02:05:42,335 --> 02:05:43,537
Don't do it

951
02:05:47,140 --> 02:05:48,575
But listen!

952
02:05:49,476 --> 02:05:51,478
The sound of a lute

953
02:05:51,545 --> 02:05:55,315
- That's all I need!
- What's the matter?

954
02:05:55,382 --> 02:05:59,686
The cobbler's light has gone
Let's risk it

955
02:05:59,753 --> 02:06:02,155
Alas! But don't you see?

956
02:06:02,222 --> 02:06:05,992
Someone else is there now

957
02:06:06,459 --> 02:06:11,965
I hear and see a musician
What does he want here so late at night?

958
02:06:12,032 --> 02:06:14,434
It's Beckmesser already!

959
02:06:14,501 --> 02:06:17,771
- Aha! I thought so
- The marker?

960
02:06:17,837 --> 02:06:21,608
Him, here in my sights?
I'll knock him out cold

961
02:06:21,675 --> 02:06:25,412
For God's sake, don't
You'll wake my father

962
02:06:26,580 --> 02:06:29,549
A quick song and he'll be gone

963
02:06:31,084 --> 02:06:34,688
Let's hide here

964
02:06:36,022 --> 02:06:44,431
The trouble I have with men!

965
02:06:49,235 --> 02:06:53,673
Jerum! Jerum!

966
02:06:53,740 --> 02:06:58,478
Hallahallohel Oho!

967
02:06:58,545 --> 02:07:00,614
- Tralalei!
- What's this?

968
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:04,718
- Tralalei! Oho!
- Damned yelling!

969
02:07:06,319 --> 02:07:14,728
When Eva was cast out of Paradise
By God the Lord

970
02:07:14,794 --> 02:07:27,774
The hard gravel caused much pain
To her bare feet

971
02:07:28,441 --> 02:07:31,444
What is this boorish cobbler up to?

972
02:07:31,511 --> 02:07:34,481
The Lord took pity

973
02:07:34,547 --> 02:07:35,882
What's this song?

974
02:07:35,949 --> 02:07:38,451
- He liked her little feet
- How is your name in it?

975
02:07:38,518 --> 02:07:40,854
I've heard it before, it's not about me

976
02:07:40,920 --> 02:07:44,591
- He called to his angel: - But there's mischief behind it

977
02:07:44,658 --> 02:07:48,895
"Make shoes for the poor sinner

978
02:07:48,962 --> 02:07:56,469
And Adam, I can see
Bangs his toes against the stones

979
02:07:56,536 --> 02:08:04,044
- What a delay! Time is passing
- So that in future he can walk properly

980
02:08:04,110 --> 02:08:08,415
Measure him for boots as well!"

981
02:08:08,882 --> 02:08:17,157
Why, Master? Up, so late at night?

982
02:08:17,724 --> 02:08:25,899
Mr town clerk! Can't you sleep?

983
02:08:26,499 --> 02:08:34,908
Don't you worry about these shoes
I'm on it, they'll be ready tomorrow

984
02:08:34,974 --> 02:08:38,278
The devil take the shoes
I just need peace and quiet

985
02:08:50,557 --> 02:08:57,430
0 Eva! Eva! wicked woman
Be it on your conscience

986
02:08:57,497 --> 02:09:01,935
Us or the marker
On whom is he playing tricks?

987
02:09:02,001 --> 02:09:06,473
On all three of us, I fear

988
02:09:13,613 --> 02:09:19,786
- Alas, what torment! I fear the worst
- If you stayed in paradise

989
02:09:19,853 --> 02:09:25,759
- My sweet angel, be of good cheer!
- There was no gravel

990
02:09:25,859 --> 02:09:29,763
- The song is making me sad
- I scarcely hear it

991
02:09:29,829 --> 02:09:33,933
- I now busy myself with awl and thread
- You're by my side

992
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:37,537
- And but for Adam's wretched weakness
- What a lovely dream

993
02:09:37,604 --> 02:09:41,941
I sole shoes and apply pitch

994
02:09:42,008 --> 02:09:48,448
If I were not
A pure angel

995
02:09:48,515 --> 02:09:52,886
The devil could be a cobbler!

996
02:09:52,952 --> 02:09:58,525
Stop this nonsense immediately!
Do you carry on like this all the time?

997
02:10:00,760 --> 02:10:04,764
If I sing here, what's it to you?

998
02:10:05,131 --> 02:10:08,301
Don't you want the shoes to be finished?

999
02:10:08,368 --> 02:10:11,838
Then shut yourself in
And keep quiet!

1000
02:10:13,873 --> 02:10:19,112
Working at night is irksome

1001
02:10:19,179 --> 02:10:26,920
If I'm to keep awake
I need air and lively song

1002
02:10:26,986 --> 02:10:34,360
Just listen to the third verse

1003
02:10:35,128 --> 02:10:36,462
He's driving me mad!

1004
02:10:40,099 --> 02:10:42,202
The Caterwauling!

1005
02:10:48,942 --> 02:10:56,382
- Eva will think it's me singing
- 0 Eva, hear my lament

1006
02:10:56,449 --> 02:11:00,353
My trouble and vexation!

1007
02:11:00,420 --> 02:11:14,167
The works of art a cobbler made
The world treads underfoot

1008
02:11:18,404 --> 02:11:28,548
If an angel did not comfort me
Who has had a similar lot

1009
02:11:28,615 --> 02:11:41,194
And call me into paradise
Gladly I'd leave shoes and boots behind

1010
02:11:41,261 --> 02:11:52,038
But when I'm in heaven
The world would lie at my feet

1011
02:11:52,105 --> 02:11:54,807
And I am at peace

1012
02:11:54,874 --> 02:12:04,384
Hans Sachs,
a shoemaker and a poet to boot!

1013
02:12:04,450 --> 02:12:06,286
The window is opening

1014
02:12:06,352 --> 02:12:13,026
His song saddens me for some reason
Away, let us flee!

1015
02:12:13,092 --> 02:12:17,130
- All right then, with my sword!
- No, don't! Ah, stop!

1016
02:12:17,196 --> 02:12:18,498
Good heavens, it's her!

1017
02:12:18,564 --> 02:12:21,534
- He's not worth the trouble
- Yes, patience

1018
02:12:21,601 --> 02:12:24,003
I'm done for if he goes on singing!

1019
02:12:24,070 --> 02:12:30,043
Oh dearest man!
That I can cause you such distress!

1020
02:12:30,176 --> 02:12:34,380
Sachs, my friend, a word with you!

1021
02:12:34,447 --> 02:12:38,418
- Who's at the window?
- How keen you are about these shoes!

1022
02:12:38,484 --> 02:12:41,854
- It's Magdalena
- I had honestly forgotten them

1023
02:12:41,921 --> 02:12:43,456
That serves him right

1024
02:12:43,523 --> 02:12:46,159
I appreciate your skill as a cobbler

1025
02:12:46,225 --> 02:12:48,061
I can scarcely help laughing

1026
02:12:48,127 --> 02:12:54,400
- As an artist I value you more highly still
- How I long for an end to this

1027
02:12:54,467 --> 02:12:59,505
- I wish he'd make a start
- Your judgement is second to none

1028
02:13:00,807 --> 02:13:04,310
So, listen to my little song

1029
02:13:04,377 --> 02:13:11,818
With which I would like to win tomorrow
And say whether it seems all right to you

1030
02:13:11,884 --> 02:13:16,789
Aha! So you want to dupe me?

1031
02:13:19,092 --> 02:13:23,429
I'll not be humiliated again

1032
02:13:25,164 --> 02:13:34,073
Whenever I try to be a poet

1033
02:13:34,907 --> 02:13:38,277
Things look bad for your footwear

1034
02:13:39,145 --> 02:13:41,647
I can see how sloppy it is
Flapping everywhere

1035
02:13:42,382 --> 02:13:47,387
So now <i>I'll</i> sensibly
Leave verse and rhymes alone

1036
02:13:47,453 --> 02:13:56,262
Reason and wit and knowledge too
And get your shoes ready for tomorrow

1037
02:13:56,329 --> 02:14:05,304
Leave it! I was just joking
Let me be open with you now

1038
02:14:06,472 --> 02:14:13,212
The people respect you
And Pogner's daughter holds you dear

1039
02:14:13,279 --> 02:14:19,452
If before everybody
I wish to woo her tomorrow

1040
02:14:19,519 --> 02:14:25,258
Say, might it not ruin me
If my song is not pleasing to her?

1041
02:14:25,324 --> 02:14:30,763
So listen to me quietly
And when I've sung, you can tell me

1042
02:14:30,830 --> 02:14:36,469
What you like about it, and what you don't
That I can change it accordingly

1043
02:14:37,236 --> 02:14:44,143
Oh, leave me in peace
Why give me the honour?

1044
02:14:44,210 --> 02:14:49,315
Street songs are all I can do

1045
02:14:49,382 --> 02:14:52,318
So, let me sing to the streets
And hammer the last!

1046
02:14:52,385 --> 02:15:02,328
Damn the man! He drives me mad
With his song full of pitch and grease!

1047
02:15:04,297 --> 02:15:09,102
Be quiet, you'll wake the neighbours

1048
02:15:09,168 --> 02:15:17,643
They're used to it, it falls on deaf ears
Eva! Eva!

1049
02:15:17,710 --> 02:15:22,849
Oh, you spiteful fellow!
This is the last trick you'll play on me!

1050
02:15:22,915 --> 02:15:27,920
Shut up right now
Or I swear you'll regret it

1051
02:15:28,988 --> 02:15:32,391
You're jealous, nothing else

1052
02:15:32,758 --> 02:15:35,628
Even though you think you're being clever

1053
02:15:35,695 --> 02:15:39,132
You can't bear anyone
getting the better of you

1054
02:15:39,999 --> 02:15:43,369
Believe me, I know you inside out!

1055
02:15:44,203 --> 02:15:47,340
That you weren't yet chosen as marker

1056
02:15:48,107 --> 02:15:52,411
That's what's tormenting
this embittered cobbler

1057
02:15:52,478 --> 02:16:00,419
All right then! So long as Beckmesser lives
And there's a rhyme still on his lips

1058
02:16:00,486 --> 02:16:08,127
While I sing a rhyme worthy of the masters
Whether Nuremberg thrives or not

1059
02:16:08,194 --> 02:16:15,268
Hans Sachs will never be appointed marker
That much I swear

1060
02:16:22,175 --> 02:16:25,611
Was that the song?

1061
02:16:25,678 --> 02:16:27,513
The devil take it!

1062
02:16:29,448 --> 02:16:33,753
Rather unruly, but sung with pride

1063
02:16:34,654 --> 02:16:35,888
Will you listen to me?

1064
02:16:36,689 --> 02:16:38,391
For God's sake

1065
02:16:38,457 --> 02:16:43,529
Sing on
While I get on with your shoes

1066
02:16:43,596 --> 02:16:45,531
But you'll keep quiet?

1067
02:16:45,598 --> 02:16:52,805
Oh, sing away
You'll see, it will advance my work too

1068
02:16:52,872 --> 02:16:56,542
But you'll stop that blasted knocking?

1069
02:16:56,609 --> 02:17:01,480
How else can your soles be fitted properly?

1070
02:17:01,547 --> 02:17:04,951
So, you hammer while I sing?

1071
02:17:06,085 --> 02:17:12,625
Both song and shoes need finishing

1072
02:17:12,692 --> 02:17:14,794
I don't want any shoes!

1073
02:17:15,595 --> 02:17:18,364
You say that now

1074
02:17:18,431 --> 02:17:23,669
But then you'll bring it up in the school

1075
02:17:24,637 --> 02:17:31,110
But listen,
perhaps we can come to an arrangement

1076
02:17:32,144 --> 02:17:40,486
Man gets on best in unison

1077
02:17:41,988 --> 02:17:47,126
Though I may not put aside my work

1078
02:17:48,261 --> 02:17:53,566
I'd like to learn the marker's art

1079
02:17:55,901 --> 02:18:06,779
In this you are second to none
Only you can teach me

1080
02:18:06,846 --> 02:18:15,821
So, if you sing, <i>I'll</i> note and mark
While cobbling at the same time

1081
02:18:15,888 --> 02:18:21,527
Mark away then, and what goes wrong
Take your chalk and set it against me

1082
02:18:21,594 --> 02:18:25,831
No, Sir! My work won't get done that way

1083
02:18:26,799 --> 02:18:30,202
With the hammer <i>I'll</i> mark you

1084
02:18:30,269 --> 02:18:38,311
Damnation, and it's getting late!
She won't wait at the window forever

1085
02:18:38,377 --> 02:18:43,082
Begin, hurry up
Or <i>I'll</i> sing to myself

1086
02:18:43,149 --> 02:18:47,286
Stop, anything but that!
The devil! How annoying

1087
02:18:47,920 --> 02:18:52,992
If you must play the marker

1088
02:18:53,059 --> 02:18:57,229
Very well, mark with the hammer on the last

1089
02:18:57,296 --> 02:19:05,404
With one condition, keep to the rules
Mark strictly according to them

1090
02:19:05,471 --> 02:19:15,881
According to them as known to the cobbler
Whose fingers are itching to get to work

1091
02:19:15,948 --> 02:19:20,953
- Master's honour?
- And cobbler's humour!

1092
02:19:21,020 --> 02:19:24,957
No mistakes, all will be well

1093
02:19:25,024 --> 02:19:32,832
Barefoot tomorrow, then

1094
02:19:36,068 --> 02:19:42,375
- What a crazy business! It's like a dream
- Sit down here, then

1095
02:19:42,441 --> 02:19:47,413
- As if I never left the song chair
- Why so far off?

1096
02:19:47,480 --> 02:19:52,651
- I feel so strangely troubled
- As in the school before the marker's box

1097
02:19:53,652 --> 02:20:00,993
- Is it good or evil that I sense?
- My voice is wonderfully flexible

1098
02:20:01,761 --> 02:20:13,139
How charming, now begin

1099
02:20:48,908 --> 02:20:52,344
The day I see appear
Brings me great delight

1100
02:21:02,321 --> 02:21:10,362
Then my heart is seized
By a strong and fresh...

1101
02:21:10,429 --> 02:21:12,565
Are you joking?
What's wrong?

1102
02:21:12,631 --> 02:21:15,401
Better sung as:

1103
02:21:15,468 --> 02:21:22,708
"My heart is seized
By a strong, fresh..."

1104
02:21:22,775 --> 02:21:27,179
How can that be rhymed with "I see appear"?

1105
02:21:27,780 --> 02:21:31,684
Don't you care about the melody?

1106
02:21:31,750 --> 02:21:36,622
Surely music and text should match?

1107
02:21:36,689 --> 02:21:39,391
I won't argue with you
Now stop your hammering

1108
02:21:39,458 --> 02:21:42,962
- Or you'll have cause to remember me!
- Now continue!

1109
02:21:43,028 --> 02:21:47,099
- Now I'm totally confused
- So start again

1110
02:21:47,166 --> 02:21:51,871
I'll keep silent for three faults

1111
02:21:51,937 --> 02:21:55,040
I'd best pay no attention to him

1112
02:21:55,107 --> 02:21:59,378
If only it doesn't confuse the maiden!

1113
02:22:04,884 --> 02:22:18,898
The day I see appear
Brings me great delight

1114
02:22:19,865 --> 02:22:28,974
Then my heart is seized
By strong, fresh courage

1115
02:22:30,109 --> 02:22:41,687
I don't think of dying
But rather of wooing

1116
02:22:41,754 --> 02:22:44,123
A young maiden's hand

1117
02:22:46,559 --> 02:22:54,867
Why of all days
Is today the most beautiful?

1118
02:22:54,934 --> 02:23:02,975
To all here I say it
Because a beautiful maiden

1119
02:23:03,042 --> 02:23:13,719
By her dear father
As vowed he has

1120
02:23:13,786 --> 02:23:16,622
Is destined for matrimony

1121
02:23:18,791 --> 02:23:34,373
Come and see
Standing there

1122
02:23:34,440 --> 02:23:43,015
The good, dear young lady

1123
02:23:43,082 --> 02:23:51,724
On whom I set all my hope

1124
02:23:53,058 --> 02:24:01,333
That's why the day is nice and blue

1125
02:24:01,400 --> 02:24:04,069
As I at the beginning found

1126
02:24:04,136 --> 02:24:08,040
Sachs! Look! You're ruining me!
Will you be quiet now?

1127
02:24:08,841 --> 02:24:10,709
I'm already speechless!

1128
02:24:10,776 --> 02:24:17,049
I was marking the faults, then we'll talk
Meanwhile the soles are coming on

1129
02:24:17,116 --> 02:24:20,653
Is she going? Hist! Hist!
Oh God, I must!

1130
02:24:20,719 --> 02:24:24,523
Sachs! <i>I'll</i> remember you for this vexation!

1131
02:24:24,590 --> 02:24:28,861
Marker in position!
Continue!

1132
02:24:30,829 --> 02:24:37,169
Today my heart will jump for joy
To woo a maiden young

1133
02:24:37,236 --> 02:24:42,741
But her father tied
A condition to it

1134
02:24:43,375 --> 02:24:51,817
For him who will inherit him
And also win

1135
02:24:51,884 --> 02:24:53,886
His daughter's hand

1136
02:24:55,587 --> 02:25:01,260
A worthy Master of the Guild
He loves his daughter well

1137
02:25:01,760 --> 02:25:08,100
But at the same time he shows
What store he sets by art

1138
02:25:08,167 --> 02:25:15,974
He must win the prize
In the master-singing

1139
02:25:16,041 --> 02:25:18,577
Who will his son-in-law be

1140
02:25:20,746 --> 02:25:25,684
Now Art is needed
So that, by your leave

1141
02:25:26,518 --> 02:25:31,757
Without all harmful, common deception

1142
02:25:33,058 --> 02:25:47,039
The winning of the prize may succeed to him
Who desires with true ardour

1143
02:25:47,106 --> 02:25:49,575
The maiden to woo

1144
02:25:49,641 --> 02:25:51,977
- Have you finished?
- Why do you ask?

1145
02:25:52,878 --> 02:25:59,284
I've quite finished the shoes

1146
02:25:59,351 --> 02:26:02,521
That's what I call a pair of marker's shoes

1147
02:26:02,588 --> 02:26:08,227
- Hear my marker's verse too
- If I'm to call myself a master

1148
02:26:08,293 --> 02:26:10,329
I'll gladly prove it today

1149
02:26:10,395 --> 02:26:16,602
Because I must burn to have the prize
And thirst and hunger

1150
02:26:16,668 --> 02:26:21,640
What the devil, here?
And even over there?

1151
02:26:24,543 --> 02:26:28,580
It's Lena, I can see it clearly!

1152
02:26:28,647 --> 02:26:32,251
- Who's that yelling?
- I well know all the rules

1153
02:26:32,317 --> 02:26:34,486
Goodness, it's him

1154
02:26:36,622 --> 02:26:39,525
She's asked him for a rendezvous!

1155
02:26:41,994 --> 02:26:43,262
That's the man

1156
02:26:43,328 --> 02:26:46,398
She prefers to me!

1157
02:26:53,605 --> 02:26:56,875
I'll tan your hide!

1158
02:27:07,586 --> 02:27:10,322
Be quiet, and be off with you!

1159
02:27:18,797 --> 02:27:20,866
Go to the devil, you idiot!

1160
02:27:21,600 --> 02:27:27,039
David! O God, what a mess!
Help, help! They'll kill each other!

1161
02:27:27,105 --> 02:27:31,076
- Let me go!
- Of course! I'll break your bones for you!

1162
02:27:35,747 --> 02:27:38,283
Ho there! This way! There's a fight!

1163
02:27:39,785 --> 02:27:41,253
They'll kill each other!

1164
02:28:42,748 --> 02:28:44,483
No! David, are you mad?

1165
02:29:09,675 --> 02:29:12,778
Eva! Shut the window!
I'll see if it's safe downstairs

1166
02:29:15,847 --> 02:29:19,751
Now we must be bold
And fight our way through!

1167
02:29:27,459 --> 02:29:29,328
Lena, where are you?

1168
02:29:29,895 --> 02:29:32,230
Get back indoors, Miss Lena!

1169
02:30:03,729 --> 02:30:14,406
Hear ye, good people
The clock has struck eleven

1170
02:30:15,440 --> 02:30:28,820
Beware of ghosts and spooks
That no evil spirit ensnare your soul

1171
02:30:30,622 --> 02:30:39,131
Praise ye the Lord!

1172
02:32:07,919 --> 02:32:13,191
