[00:00.00] 作词 : Frank Bornemann
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Frank Bornemann
[00:03.95]Exhausted by
[00:09.11]A dangerous ride
[00:11.85]Unperceived
[00:15.14]In coldest winter´s night
[00:18.79]Through hostile territory
[00:22.31]Danger all around
[00:24.96]No place to hide
[00:28.09]No shelter to be found
[00:31.45]At last we see the mighty castle of Chinon
[00:37.31](We´re) reaching finally the drawbridge to the court
[00:41.21]Guards in arms observe
[00:44.97]Every move we make
[00:48.33](Their) furtive glances follow us
[00:52.53]incessantly
[00:54.67]As behind the wall
[00:58.11]The glow of sunset light
[01:01.38]A tiny evening bell
[01:04.93]heralds the nearing night
[01:07.72]escorted by some guards
[01:11.23]we´re crossing through the yard
[01:14.37]a festive roar
[01:17.84]is sounding from afar
[01:20.59]chants and laughter everywhere
[01:24.79]dissipated in the air
[01:28.06]The festive mood dies down
[01:31.62]As Jeanne enters the room of celebration
[01:36.56]No noise is breaking the silence
[01:41.97]While the virgin of Lorraine glides across the room
[01:47.38]Only the crackle of the fireplace is still audible
[01:53.30]And anticipation fills the air
[01:57.65]Instead of the Dauphin Charles, who observes the scene from amidst the crowd of his courtiers, the Duke of Bourbon has taken his place on the throne to welcome her.
[02:08.55]They prepared the deceit to find out if she is really guided by God.
[02:14.54]The tension grows with every step
[02:17.96]The Duke requests her desire but instead of answering him
[02:24.0]She turns away (without a single word)
[02:27.50]Silently crossing the throne hall, her vivid eyes roaming the congregation –
[02:35.4]her step full of purpose she approaches a group by the fire place gathered around the Dauphin (to accomplish the deceit.)
[02:43.91]A whispered murmur rises in the room
[02:48.74]A collective exclamation of amazement breaks the silence
[02:54.9]As Jeanne finally kneels in front of the true king.
[03:00.27]Jeanne speaks to the Dauphin Charles:
[03:04.79]“Noble Dauphin, only for you, and to bring you help, have I undertaken the long journey
[03:14.65]hither. Why do you deceive me? No one else can take your place. God speaks to you
[03:23.75]through me. It is his will that you, as the rightful heir to the throne, become the anointed
[03:33.22]king of France. God send me to do this. Let me drive the enemy from our country and lead
[03:43.14]you to Reims to your consecration. But first send me with an army to Orléans to end the siege of that beleaguered city and clear the path to your coronation.“
[03:59.79]Dauphin Charles: “Though I may trust your spoken word, Jeanne – the church must first examine you”
[04:09.11]Board of Examiners in Poitiers :
[04:12.78]“Eliminate all doubts
[04:16.48]We need to know the truth
[04:20.30]If God´s your guiding hand
[04:24.2]Show us a miracle
[04:27.76]Tell us about
[04:31.42]Your revelation
[04:35.3]To help us find out
[04:38.74]If all you say is real
[04:42.36]We need some proof of your virginity
[04:47.46]That you´re the chosen one
[04:51.35]To free our suffering land
[04:54.91]Why should almighty God
[04:58.75]Need warriours in this war
[05:02.39]Out on the battlefields
[05:06.15]to gain our liberty”
[05:09.6]Jeanne: “The soldiers shall fight and God will give us our victory”
