2: 11 L'Affrontement
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dracula:
Elhemina, enfin!
Van Helsing:
DRACUL!!!!
Dracula:
Je savais bien que tu viendrais
Bouffon d’orgueil ivre de haine
Je t’attendais
Il est grand temps que tu apprennes
La vérité des vérités
Autour de toi tout est mensonge
L’éternité n’est qu’un fruit pourri
Qui te ronge
Les hommes t’ont menti
Les femmes t’ont trahi
Van Helsing:
Vade retro Vlad Satanas
Avale ta langue de vipère
Rends-lui sa place
Dans la gueule noir de Lucifer
Vampiresses:
Oh! De Profundis! Oh! De Profundis!
Dracula:
Mais qui es-tu donc pour me parler ainsi?
Van Helsing:
Je suis les quatre cavaliers annoncés
Dans l’Apocalypse pour te tuer
Je suis venu rendre justice
Au nom des ceux qui ont prié comme
Des agneaux sacrifiés
Âme damnée je suis ton jugement dernier
Le cri parmi les cris de ceux qui n’ont rien dit
Dracula:
Mais à qui donc crois-tu parler?
Je suis le roi qui tue les rois
Et leurs guerriers
Même l’église a peur de moi
Je suis le vengeur invité
À purifier cette planète
La grande armée est devenue
Cent mille tempêtes
Annonçant votre fin
Et ton Dieu n’y peut rien
Van Helsing:
Credo in Deum
Patrem omnipotentem,
Creatorem caeli et terrae.
Et in Iesum Christum,
Filium eius unicum,
Dominum nostrum,
Qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto
Dracula:
Tu me fais rire avec ton Dieu
Qui ne vous a jamais aimé
Ouvre les yeux, Van Helsing,
Il vous a tous abandonné
Il m’a laissé tuer vos filles
Il m’a laissé violer ta fille
Et son fils culé sur la croix
Il n’a rien dit
Et tu oses dire que c’est
En ce Dieu que tu crois
Van Helsing:
Avale ta langue de vipère
Rends-lui sa place
Dans la gueule noir de Lucifer
Vade retro Vlad Satanas
Il est temps pour toi de payer
Il est temps pour toi de te taire
Toi qui a semé sur la terre tant de pêchés
Apprends donc à prier pour être pardonné
Van Helsing:
Pour être pardonné
Pour être pardonné
Dracula:
Tu dois mourir
Tu vas mourir
Dracula:
Je porte en moi l’esprit de Vallachia
Qui de par sa furie vengeresse
Va balayer cette terre comme une flamme vivante!
Qui donc à le pouvoir du sang dans ses veines?
Le pouvoir du sang!

Act 2 Song 11 : The Confrontation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks again to 'Snezhinka' for adding to this
Note: This song is partly in French partly in Latin - again literal trans in brackets:
When Van Helsing speaks Latin, he uses the opening lines of the Apostle's Creed.
'gueule noir' can mean a miner, assumed this phrase slang or poetic for blackness of the pit of Lucifer; could be loosely rendered as I have done.
'Vade retro satana' 'Step back Satan' comes from Mediaeval Catholic exorcism.
Used 'forsook' instead of 'gave up' to echo Christ's use of 'why hast thou forsaken me?' which is implied.
Dracula: Elhemina, at last.
Van Helsing [off] : Dracul !!
Dracula
I knew full well that you would come
proud fool brimful of hate
I have waited for you
It is high time that you learn
the truth of all truths:
That all around you is lie
Eternity is only a putrid fruit
that gnaws at you.
Those men lied to you /Men lied to you
Those women betrayed you /Women betrayed you
Van Helsing:
Step back Satan Vlad,
Silence your evil tongue [lit: 'Swallow your venomous tongue']
Return to the black pit of Hell [lit: 'Return to your place']
where you belong. [lit: in the black mines of Lucifer [Hell]
Vampiresses:
Oh! De profundis! Oh! De profundis! -
Oh from the Depths! Oh from the Depths!
Dracula:
But who are you to speak thus to me?
Van Helsing:
I am the Four Horsemen foretold in [or prophesied in]
the Apocalypse, come to kill you,
I am come to bring justice
In the name of [all] those who prayed for it -
those sacrificed lambs
Damned soul, I am your Last Judgment,
the cry amongst the cries of those who were silenced [Lit: did not speak]
Dracula:
But to whom do you believe you speak?
I am the king who kills kings
And their champions [lit: warriors]
Even the Church is afraid of me
I am the Avenger invited
to purify this planet
The great army became [has become]
A hundred thousand storms
Heralding your end
And your God can do nothing [about it].
Van Helsing:
I believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ,
His only Son,
Our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit -
Dracula:
You make me laugh with your God
He has never loved you
Open your eyes, Van Helsing,
He forsook you all [literally 'gave up you all']
He let me kill your daughters
He let me rape your daughter
[Even] as his son was nailed on the Cross
He said nothing
And you dare to say that it is
this God in whom you believe?
Van Helsing:
Silence your evil tongue
Return to the black pit of Hell
where you belong.
Step back, Satan Vlad
It is time for you to pray,
It's time to stop your bragging,
You who sowed the earth with so much sin.
Now you will learn how to pray for forgiveness.
Van Helsing:
To be forgiven
To be forgiven
Dracula:
You must die!
You will die!
Dracula:
I carry within me the spirit of Vallachia
Which by its avenging fury
Will scorch the earth like a living flame!
Who else has this capacity of blood in his veins?
The power of blood!
