El Relato Del Cochero
Angel Mahler
The Coachman's Tale
[Coachman]
I beg you sir, let's go back, it's truly dangerous to stay here!
[Jonathan]
What I want is to follow the path, I don't understand you
Why so much fear?
[Coachman]
Don't you realize you're in Transylvania
And tonight is the night of witches, sir!
[Jonathan]
All I see is just a road
[Coachman]
My lord, a forbidden road
[Jonathan]
What you're saying doesn't make sense
[Coachman]
I insist you come back with me
[Jonathan]
Turn back, let me go alone
[Coachman]
The wolves are getting closer! The curse devours us all!
[Jonathan]
Stop with your superstitions
[Coachman]
Superstitions, sir, that village is inhabited by the dead
And if you go there, you'll be one of them
It's the night of witches, sir!
[Jonathan]
I'm alive and plan to stay that way for a long time
And those are just legends
[Coachman]
What I'm about to tell you, you must never repeat
It's the story of a beautiful woman
Countess Dolingen of Gratz
She's buried there, cursed for eternity
And neither she nor her victims will ever rest in peace!
She desired eternity
And for that, night after night she sacrificed her victims
And then drank their blood to become immortal
Why do you want to go there, for God's sake, please, don't you see?
It's a curse that will fall upon you and destroy you!
[Jonathan]
Can't you see they're just stories to scare children
[Coachman]
It's cursed land, sir!
[Jonathan]
Tell me more!
[Coachman]
I can't tell you more; go back, sir
[Jonathan]
I told you no!
It's nonsense, you go back, I'll be there tomorrow
[Coachman]
We beg you, sir, please go back
[Jonathan]
Thank you, friend, go back in peace
[Coachman]
Peace is what you'll need, may all the saints protect you! Sir!
[Jonathan]
Go back to the inn and wait for me there, I'll go alone to that village
[Coachman]
You're crazy, crazy, crazy
Sir, you're crazy
