En Contra de la Gravedad (Defying Gravity)

[Elphaba]
The guards are coming up
We have to put a barricade at the door
I'm going to use this

[Glinda]
That?

[Elphaba]
I'm going to use this

[Glinda]
Why couldn't you just stay still for a second instead of losing your temper?

Good luck and all the best
We both know who is drifting because she thinks she is very much alive

[Elphaba]
I wish you luck and good luck, and I hope you are happy too
With vile, vain and servile ambitions

[Both]
And even if things go well, they won't go well for you
Good luck and that's it

[Madame Morrible]
People of Oz we have an enemy we must find and capture
Don't believe anything she tells you, she is evil
It was the cause of the mutilation of these innocent little monkeys
Green skin is a clear manifestation of his twisted nature
From this twisted, this repulsive evil witch

[Glinda]
Don't be afraid

[Elphaba]
No, I don't
It is the magician who should be afraid of me

[Glinda]
Elfis, listen to me, just ask for forgiveness before it's too late

Make the wizard an ally, do it or you will lose
What you want and have dreamed of

[Elphaba]
I know, and I don't want to anymore, no
I can't love him anymore

Today I am no longer the same, today something is not the same
Enough of them saying what I do right or wrong
What's done is past and I'm not starting over
Today I follow my instincts I have to fly
I will go against gravity
I'll do it against gravity
And you won't put me down anymore

[Glinda]
You're going to lose your mind with your attitude of grandeur

[Elphaba]
I don't accept the barriers that say you can't do it
If I don't jump them, I'll never know if I'm capable
I thought it was bad to fail in love
If I fail, losing my soul is worse
I'm going against gravity
I'll do it against gravity and you won't put me down anymore

[Guards]
Open the door in the name of your highest omnipotence

[Elphaba]
Ah may ah tay ah tum ditum

[Glinda]
What are you doing? Leave that, that's what started this whole mess
Those scary levitation spells now!
What happened? Where are your wings?
Maybe you're not as powerful as you think
(The broom appears flying)
Holy Oz!

[Elphaba]
I told you Glinda, you see I told you

[Guards]
Break down the door, prepare the catapult

[Elphaba]
Come on, climb up

[Glinda]
That?!

[Elphaba]
Come with me, imagine what we can do together

Without limits, united and without limits
And tell me who can beat this pair, Glinda
Dreams we plan

[Glinda]
All in our hands

[Both]
Nothing can fail us
They are two against gravity
With two against gravity

[Elphaba]
No one will bring us down now

What's up? Are you coming?

[Glinda]
Elphis, you're shaking, here put this on

Good luck with this decision

[Elphaba]
You too, go with my blessing

[Both]
May you achieve what you try
And may you never regret it
May you find luck for yourself
And don't forget me

[Guards]
There it is! Don't let them escape!
(They take Glinda)

[Glinda]
Let me go, don't you hear? Leave me alone!

[Elphaba]
Let her go, she has nothing to do with this
It is I who you are looking for, I

[Glinda]
Elphis!

[Elphaba]
It's me!
I go towards the horizon where the sea is lost
A magician predicted to me that your time to fly will come
If I fly alone, I do it freely
And to those who doubt, tell them the truth
How I rise against gravity!
And I say today there is no law of gravity
And no one will put me down!
And no one here in all of Oz
Neither a magician nor a terrible spell
I'd have them bring me down right now!

[Glinda]
Good luck

[Ozians]
She is evil
Out

[Elphaba]
Come down now!

[Ozians]
Out with the wicked
So take it down

[Elphaba]
Ah!

[Ozians]
Already
