Long ago and far away
很久很久以前
In a village high on a mountain top
在那高山之巅的村庄里
Something amazing was occurring
正发生着奇妙的事情
At the very same moment
就在同一时刻
Two identical baby girls were born
降生了两个一模一样的女婴
One a baby princess
一个是小公主
The king and queen were overjoyed
国王与王后喜不自胜
Princess Anneliese would have only the finest
安妮莉丝公主将拥有世间最美好的一切
The second baby girl was named Erika
第二个女婴名叫埃丽卡
Her parents loved here every bit as much
父母对她的爱丝毫不减
As the king and queen loved the Princess
就像国王王后宠爱公主那般
But they worried
但他们忧心忡忡
They were so poor
家境如此贫寒
How would they be able to care for their little daughter
该如何抚养心爱的小女儿成长
Many years passed
岁月匆匆流逝
The princess learned her royal duties
公主学习着王室礼仪规章
While Erika worked long and hard
当埃丽卡日夜辛劳
As a seamstress for the spiteful Madame Carp
为刻薄的卡普夫人缝制衣裳
With lives so different
截然不同的人生轨迹
It wasn't surprising the the princess and the pauper never met
难怪公主与贫女从未相逢
But fate decreed they would
但命运终将她们交织
It all started at the royal mine
故事始于王室矿山
The miners informed the queen the gold had run out
矿工禀告女王金脉已枯竭
The widowed queen was shocked
寡居的女王震惊不已
The kingdom was now bankrupt
王国如今已濒临破产
How was she going to take care of her people
她该如何守护她的子民
If only she could call on her trusted advisor preminger
若能召唤她信赖的顾问普雷明格该多好
But he was away on a long journey
可他正在远方长途跋涉
She needed to do something quickly to save the kingdom
她必须迅速行动拯救王国
But what
但该怎么做
And then it struck her
灵光乍现间
Nearby lived a rich young king who was seeking a wife
邻国住着一位寻觅新娘的年轻富庶君王
