So I put the lyrics to “The bitch of living” from Spring Awakening into Google translate, translated them to Samoan, then Catalan, then back to English. This is the result.

God, only dreams have an angel

Who can hear me at the bar

While they cry similarly, in Latin

"It simply came to our notice then

Help me get out of this bad dream. "

Then listen to his silver

He said, "Leave time, boy

I've come to one with everything "

He said, “Give me five hands, please

And the heat you can’t control

We teach you how to handle it

All sadness in your soul

Oh, that would be nonsense made of silver

Then let's focus on the wall "

He said, “Love for you makes you blind children.

But I don't care "

[All]

The living woman

(Bathroom, only one woman)

Nothing but the hand

(Girl only, yes)

The only girl alive

I have someone who can’t stand it

[Dolores]

Look, every night, in case something nice

Throw a turn, turn around, restless

I spend my days at the piano

And my master and her breasts;

And the music is like mine

You can have it complete

And those breasts!

Please be in my favor, please

Touch this apple pie

[All]

The living woman

(ah, ah, ah)

Nothing is happening

(Do not worry)

The only girl alive

Question: What happened?

Do you want this tattooed manate?

Who knows?

[Ernst]

Seeing, taking a bath in exercise classes ...

[Hanschen]

Bobby Maler, he's the best

Parents see that they are proud of these things

[Ernst]

God, my whole life was like some test

[Eight]

Then there was Marianna Wheelan

As if answering my call

[Hanschen]

It’s like kissing your ass a little, man

You can do it all yourself

[All]

Alllllll

[Melchior]

The living woman

[All]

The living woman

[Melchior]

And sitting on his head

[All]

Jo fort head

The prostitutes

[Melchior]

It is life

And God knows

[All]

The living woman

[Melchior]

You see me-

Just notice me

[All]

And try to move on

[Melchior]

You called me one day

[All]

The living woman

I just got out of bed

[Melchior]

You will all know it

[All]

The living woman

Live, live

[Melchior]

You will all know it

[All]

And get mine you get

The only girl alive

[Melchior]

And we know it

[All]

God, is this a mole?

It can not be

God, what a woman!

some of the greatest lines include :

“living woman / (bathroom only one woman)”

“please be in my favour, please / touch this apple pie.”

“nothing is happening/ (do not worry)”

“it’s like kissing your ass a little, man / you can do it all yourself.”

“god, is this a mole? / it can not be / God, what a woman!”

also the fact that Georg’s name has mysteriously turned to “Dolores”???

A trailer for Preludes UK has been released!!!!!! 

I saw this production last week and it is utterly utterly sublime - without a doubt my favourite of all the shows I’ve seen this year. Keith Ramsay’s performance as Rach is simply magical - the man is completely bewitching (and if we don’t get to see him play Moritz Stiefel some day there’s something very wrong with the world). I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this show since I saw it -- so watch the trailer, listen to the soundtrack and if you can go and see it in London!! Simply divine.

ok so I saw Falsettos UK the other night and during the lil music outro after ‘everyone hates his parents’ Jason and Mendel are doing this groovy lil dance and Mendel turns to Jason and goes “hey kid you’re a pretty good dancer, you should be in a musical” and I asdkadjgapfffffffffffffff
