1. 개요
디즈니 애니메이션 알라딘의 패러디 뮤지컬 《Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier》의 넘버이다. 이 넘버 전체가 어쌔신의 넘버 "Another National Anthem"의 오마주이다.디즈니 빌런 중 클로드 프롤로는 등장하지 않는데, 이는 케일리 맥마흔이 클로드 프롤로가 한 일을 정당화할 수 없다고 느꼈기 때문이라고 한다.

기울임체는 공연에 따라 들어가기도 하고 안 들어가기도 하는 부분들이다. 즉, 사운드트랙 버전에 포함되지 않은 부분들이 해당된다. 기울임체 처리가 된 부분 중 공연실황에 나오는 개스톤의 파트는 배우의 애드립이었다. 자파 I've gone against my Sultan The highest act of treason But I had good intentions I did it for a reason They'll kill me if I'm lucky They'll torture me if not What made me think I could get away with such a plot? It's not too late to bring it back Perhaps I'll be forgiven But If my crime can help improve the world we all must live in Am I not bound by duty To the people of this nation? How does the Golden Rule apply In such a situation? As a citizen, I think I would be grateful for the aid But if I were the Sultan, I should hate it to be betrayed Whichever road I take I'll be incurring someone's wrath 'Til now I've always traveled down the straight and narrow path Temptation may have beckoned, but I always have resisted But which way do I turn When the road's become so... so... 우르슬라 Twisted? 자파 Who are you? 우르슬라 A fellow traveler down a twisted path. 자파 I know you from Sherrezade's stories! 우르슬라 Uh-uh-uh. You think you know me, as others think they know you, but there are two sides to every story. 우르슬라 I used to be the ruler of the ocean I was benevolent and always kept my word But my brother held the antiquated notion That women should be seen and never heard So he dethroned me and disowned me and on top of that rezoned me To the outskirts of the kingdom in a cave Took my scepter and my crown Though I tried to take him down The truth and I now share a watery grave The story lingers on But the version that is drawn is twisted 스카 A pain I know all too well The pride had never seen a more progressive king than me Both lion and hyena lived in perfect harmony I brought an end to what had been a senseless age-old feud I was prepared for anything except for what ensued My brother ate my heirs - my precious cubs! - and stole my throne Returned to segregation and the hateful ways we'd known Though I'd advocate for unity, I always was denounced So when I saw an opportunity to right the wrong - I pounced! The pride came before my fall in a fate that one might call - Well, twisted 스카 They weren't ready for my ideas 우르슬라 No, they didn't hate you because of your ideas. They hated you because of that evil-looking scar on your face. Fortune favors the beautiful. 개스톤 Au contraire! My only crime was love. In town there was only she who was as beautiful as me - on the inside. But then, tragedy struck. She was taken hostage in a castle filled with demonic furniture. So I did what anyone would do and I organized a rescue mission. But how was I to know that she had fallen in love with her captor? To me, that doesn't seem entirely healthy, especially since he's a wolf-bear-thing. A buffalo monster. In a cape. But the heart wants what it wants - And sometimes what it wants is twisted 앙상블 Twisted, twisted... 우르슬라 I only wanted to reclaim what was mine! 스카 I only wished for equal rights for all! 개스톤 I only wished to save her! 말레피센트 I only wished to be invited to the party 스카 I only wished to improve relations between the races 후크 선장 I only wished to teach the boy responsibility 우르슬라 I only wished to give the people a voice 후크 선장 So he wouldn't end up like me! 개스톤 I only wished to love her 우르슬라 To help the miserable, lonely, and depressed 말레피센트 To be included 스카 To live in harmony! 말레피센트 For once! 후크 선장 I never knew my father! 앙상블 I only wished! I only wished! I only wished! 크루엘라 드 빌 I only wished to have a coat made out of puppies![1] 스카 You are not helping! Disregard that 말레피센트 Just leave! 자파 Why would you do that? 스카 That's insane! 후크 선장 Get out! 우르슬라 It's an unfortunate situation, but you do have a choice. 자파 What remains of a man when that man is dead and gone? Only memories and stories of his deeds will linger on But if a man's accomplishments aren't in the tale they tell Are the deeds that go unheralded his legacy as well? If a war breaks out tomorrow, we'll all have Hell to pay Why protect my reputation? I'm a dead man either way How will they tell my story? How will they tell my tale? Will anybody even care? The question then is whether 'tis nobler in the mind To be well-liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned? I'll never be a hero who all the citizens adore But if I hide to save my life, what has my life been for? What has my life been for? The road ahead may twist But I will never swerve I'll give them all the unsung antihero they deserve I've nothing left to lose So the only path to choose is twisted Let them twist my words, let the people scorn me Who cares if no one will ever mourn me? Let them bury the side of the story they'll never learn Let the truth be twisted Let my life be twisted I'll be twisted, it's my turn! |
