El Posadero y Su Mujer
Angel Mahler
The Innkeeper and His Wife
[Innkeeper]
Enough of so many nerves
Don't you see that you have been saved and are fine?
When I found out that you had stayed in the cursed place
I thought
Poor man, we better go rescue him soon
Or he will also become another victim
I must confess that these are just rumors to me
I have never believed in those superstitions!
Why think about wolves?
For what?
Tell me, surely these things have been told to you
They are stories that people invent and then believe
[Jonathan]
Something attacked me and that something was real
Tell me then
Why did I faint?
If it wasn't like that
Tell me, explain to me
What happened there?
That wasn't a dream, nor was it an apparition
I was in your arms, it wasn't a hallucination
This was true, it was real, I felt it, next to me
Do not doubt that this was so!
[Innkeeper]
I'm not saying you lie, I just ask you
Please, have a little more calm and patience
The journey and fatigue exhausted you
In your land, surely, they don't believe in these things!
The English are coherent people, you know that
[Matías]
I'm looking for Mr. Jonathan Harker
[Innkeeper's Wife]
I've told you a thousand times not to enter my inn
It's not a place for crazies or drunks
Out!
[Innkeeper]
Leave him, woman. What do you want, Matías?
[Matías]
Who is Mr. Jonathan Harker?
[Jonathan]
It's me
[Matías]
This is for you... from Count Dracula!
[Dracula's Voice]
"Welcome to the Carpathians
To my beautiful Transylvanian land
I deeply regret your painful experience tonight
But you will recover from it in my castle
I eagerly await you
The carriage to Bukovina leaves tomorrow
And will take you to the Borgo Pass
Where my carriage will await you
To take you to my humble abode"
[Innkeeper]
Now go, you have fulfilled your diabolical mission
Out!
Do you really need to go to the castle?
Can't you avoid it, do you know what danger awaits you if you decide to go there?
[Jonathan]
I have to go because there I will fulfill my mission
That's why I traveled from England to here, my job is like this
I have to do it
[Innkeeper]
I beg you, I implore you not to go, I ask you to think again
And if you decide to do it, surely later
You will regret it
[Jonathan]
I thank you, madam
But nothing will stop my path now
My company has ordered me to carry out a task
And I will fulfill it
[Innkeeper]
Don't pay much attention to her as she sees visions everywhere
She's my wife, a bit superstitious, she exaggerates things a bit!
[Innkeeper's Wife]
Shut up! In Transylvania we know that there are beings
Who do not die even if they are dead
Who live off the living and one of them is in that place!
[Jonathan]
Thank you for your advice
They are very interesting, indeed, but I'm sorry
I can't go back now and I must go to that castle
[Innkeeper]
Then put on the crucifix
And never take it off because it will protect you
This cross will take care of you!
[Innkeeper]
Let him rest
A truly hard day awaits him
Poor man!
[All]
Never take off the crucifix because it will protect you
This cross will take care of you and defend you against all evil!
