KrynnSub Founder: Chloe Carbonneau-Labrecque

A Russian group of singers gathered to make a musical about the Twins Chronicles. The project called Последнее Испытание (The Last Trial) emphasized around our beloved character Raistlin. And KrynnSub has made subtitles in multiple languages to make it available to a larger public.

Lyrical English Translation:

WIZARD'S CHILDHOOD

Raistlin:
A village was home to a small family
The mother and twins were content as could be
One brother was clever, the other was strong
Their life starting out was a typical one

But then, tragically, their father died
That’s when everything took a sharp turn
So that we could have a better life,
Mother swore herself to the Darkness

After one mistake using magic –
Mother’s life was suddenly forfeit
I could tell the Dark Lady planned it –
Preying on the souls of the desperate!

That day I made a promise I couldn’t keep
I swore that I would never speak
A single word of sorcery
A little boy vowed on his mother’s memory
How could it be that I was so naive?

Traps are not there to be left unused
And the hunt would only continue
Cruelty sparked within my former friends
All their twisted games forced me beyond the edge

And that’s how I discovered my talent:
By amusing bullies with magic
There and then I felt my calling captivate my soul!

The one who’s drawn unto that mighty call
Can neither be dissuaded nor denied
The young apprentice dedicates his all
To mastering his studies day and night

To finding secrets Nature hasn’t told
To weaving with the Gods the threads of life
The passion for magic is a madness
Impossible to fight

I was not inclined to join a side.
I aspired only for knowledge.
It’s as if I were a scientist
And my skill – a gem to be polished.

But Takhisis, planting suspicion,
Turned the fearful Conclave against me.
So, they forced the Test on the novice,
Betting on the chance it would kill me.

But I survived and swore one day
I’d fight Her face to face.

So began this game of deadly risk
Played between two equal contenders
Where a strike is softer than a kiss
Where the foes are closer than lovers

But is she the hunted or huntress?
Am I to be victim or victor?
We both dream of meeting the other:
She means to take the world
And I to make her pay!

Crysania:
If it’s true what you’re saying,
Then please tell me why
You fought in the past war
On the Dark Lady’s side?

Raistlin:
On the Dark Lady’s side...

Crysania:
All the fears of the Conclave would seem quite justified!

Raistlin:
Quite justified!
Yes, I’ll say it, she tamed me – the coveted prey of her trap
Yes, I ate from her hands and dressed myself all in black
But, regardless, I chose in the end to betray my Queen
Turning magic against her, I struck and set myself free

Now I’m branded a traitor in everyone’s eyes
Good and evil alike would applaud my demise
A despicable turncoat I’ll be seen for all time
By the world’s unfair judgment, that’s how I’ve been defined

Both: In the eyes of the whole world...

Raistlin:
... I have unfairly...

(Crysania: ... You have unfairly...)

Both:
... been defined

Raistlin:
Ever since, I’ve had these haunting dreams
From the grave I hear mother calling
And I know exactly what it means:
Magic will either be what dooms or saves me

[Michael-Drizzt]

I like the song and all but it implies that his parents died when he was a little kid. But he and Caramon were 16 when they died, and he had already been studying magic for a few years at that point.

О детстве в мюзикле преврали, но в остальном более менее соотвествует канону.
Вообще мюзикл во многом эм...отцензурен что ли? То бишь неугодные моменты исправили :)
И да в субтитрах имеются ошибки в словах, ...но это ничего, главное же слушать, а не читать... :)

с детства с рифмой не дружу, потому что джигурда
