Frei Und Schwerelos

Elphaba, couldn’t you just hold it together this time?
Instead of blowing up like that again?
Are you happy now?
Tell me, are you happy now?
You stood your ground and made your choice,
Are you satisfied?

Are you happy now?
Happy and proud of yourself?
I guess it’s worth it,
Slithering around
To reach your goals.

I don’t really know why.
But I hope you’re glad.

Elphi, listen to me closely.
Go on and apologize.
You can meet him again,
As if nothing ever happened.
What you longed for, you can have.

I know.
But I don’t want to.
No, I can’t want it.
Never again.

Something in me is different.
Something in me is waking up.
I can’t follow the rules that someone else made for me.
I’ve made my choice,
I’m not dreaming anymore, I’m living.
I close my eyes,
I let go
And float...

And feel free, so free and weightless.
Just true to myself and free and weightless.
You can’t catch me anymore.

It seems to me, you’re not in your right mind.
Please stop spinning your tales.

No one sets limits on me.
I won’t stick to them.
Even if not everything works,
I want to see what I can do.
For too long I wanted to be loved.
That’s why I played her game.
Is that the price for love,
Does it cost too much?

Now I’m free, so free and weightless.
It’s over, I’m free and weightless
And no one can catch me.

Glinda, come on, imagine what we could achieve together.

Chasing dreams,
Come fly with me, chasing dreams.
Together we’re a super team, we can fly,
Glinda, beyond all borders.

Glinda:
When we complement each other,

Both:
No one can defeat us.
Just us two, so free and weightless.
Together free, so free and weightless.

Elphaba:
And no one can catch us.

So, are you coming?

Glinda:
Are you happy now?
Is it right this way?

Elphaba:
Oh yes,
I hope you’re glad too.

Both:
I hope you’ll never mourn and regret nothing later.
I wish you all the happiness in the world.
And a friendship that lasts.

Elphaba:
Look for me in the sky, where night conquers day.
As someone said recently, living means learning how to fly.
And even if I fly alone, I’ll choose my own destination.
You earthbound creatures can’t imagine what I feel.

I fly by, I’m free and weightless.
Just true to myself and free and weightless,
Unbound and alone.

And no one here,
In the land of Oz
And no matter how great their magic,
Can reach me or catch me.

Glinda:
Are you happy now?

Chorus:
Look at her, the witch. Catch her!

Elphaba:
Catch me!!

Chorus:
No one cries for witches. So catch the witch!
