Das Rheingold
The Gold of the Rhine
A/N: Hi! Sorry I haven't been posting for...what? Two months? I've been really busy...stuff's been going on...never mind. Anyway, I'm back with a whole new opera fic! And this one is meant to please everyone! Harry and Ginny are married here, which is good if you like Harry/Ginny romance (I know I do!) and they fight all the time, so that's good if you don't like Harry/Ginny romance. Whatever. On with the fic.
BTW, the Rhine is a river in Germany. In this opera by Wagner, it's said to have a bunch of gold at the bottom. Don't look for the gold; you'll be disappointed.

That is all you need to know. Translations of the German appear in parantheses. Don't worry, I barely remember any of the libretto, so there won't be too many weird characters. =)
And remember: 'w' is pronounced 'v', and 'v', is pronounced 'f'. The gibberish will not be translated.

Scene 1
The bottom of the Rhine River
DRACO: *sitting on a rock* Weia! Waga! Woge, du Welle! Walle zur wiege! (Swell, wave! Rock our cradle!) Wagala weia! Wallala weiala weia!
FLEUR: Woglinde, are you watching alone?
DRACO: If you'd join me, there'd be two of us.
FLEUR: How are you watching...?
DRACO: Safe from you!
MRS. DELACOUR: Heia yaheia! Crazy sisters!
DRACO: Flosshilde, swim! Catch the fugitive!
FLEUR: *swims away*
MRS. DELACOUR: Evil people! Concentrate on the gold, or later you'll regret all your little games.
MR. DELACOUR: *shows up and sits on a rock* Hehe! You nixies!
(Note: I have no idea what a nixie is.)
ALL THREE RHINEMAIDENS: What do you want?
FLEUR: Father warned us of an enemy like this!
DRACO: Shall we ignore him?
MR. DELACOUR: Come here, pretty mermaids. I would gladly journey up from the darkness of Nibelung-land if you would come...
MRS. DELACOUR: Does he want to play with us?
FLEUR: Certainly seems so!
DRACO: Let's play a little 'game' with him...hee hee. *swims over* I love you too, Alberich!
MR. DELACOUR: She's approaching!
DRACO: No, no, it's nicer down below! *swims down*
(Note: Nibelungs *dwarves* don't know how to swim very well.)
MR. DELACOUR: Wait! WAit for me! *dives*
DRACO: I changed my mind! It's better up here! *swims up*
MR. DELACOR: You evil person!
FLEUR: Oh, leave her alone. Don't you think I'm prettier?
MR. DELACOUR: Umm...yeah.
FLEUR: I don't like this rock. Why don't we go over here? *dashes across the river to another very tall rock*
MR. DELACOUR: Stop that! What you do so easily is hard for me!
MRS. DELACOUR: *mocking* Stupid sisters! Do you not think the dwarf handsome? What a beautiful, toad-like voice! What a striking, hunchbacked shape! What lovely prickly black hairs! Oh, that he might be here with us for always!
DRACO/FLEUR: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
MR. DELACOUR: Villains, are you laughing at me?!
*the sun rises, and shines on the Rhine-gold*
ALL THREE RHINEMAIDENS: Rhiiiiiiiiiinegold! Rhiiiiiiiiinegold! HEia yaheia! Heia yahei! Shine on, pretty gold! We will swim in your beauty and play bathed in your glorious, wondrous light!
MR. DELACOUR: What is that they are looking at...?
ALL THREE RHINEMAIDENS: You scaredy-cat, why did you not come and love us like you said you did?...we are faithful...we will not deceive you, we promise!...*ha ha ha ha ha ha!* Wallala, wallaleia la la!
Leiblicher Albe,
Lachst du nicht auch?
In des Goldes Scheine
Wie leuchtest du schön!
O komm', Lieblicher,
Lache mit uns!
*Lovely goblin,
Do you not laugh too?
In the light of the shining gold
How handsome you look!
O come, darling,
Laugh with us!* Heia yaheia! Heia yaheia! Wallala la la la leia yahei!
MR. DELACOUR: *scowls* Stupid Rhinemaidens and their stupid treasure. It's only a bit of gold.
DRACO: He would not insult the Rhine-gold if he knew its amazing power.
FLEUR: Yes. He who made the gold into a ring would control the entire world.
MRS. DELACOUR: Of course, the only one who can do this is one who has cursed love...certainly not that dwarf who is so enraptured by us.
ALL THREE: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
MR. DELACOUR: *smirks* Oh yeah? Beware! The Nibelung is approaching your toy! *dives*
DRACO/FLEUR/MRS. DELACOUR: Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Look! Look! Ooh, the Nibelung is angwy!
MR. DELACOUR: And now I shout to the waters: I curse love! *steals the gold and scampers away*
DRACO: Oh no! Stop thief!
FLEUR: Save our gold!
MRS. DELACOUR: Hülfe! Hülfe! Wehe! Wehe! (Help! Help! Woe! Woe!)
MR. DELACOUR: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!
*everything goes dark because the gold isn't there to give off any light*
