All language subtitles for Scheherazade 1963-subrip

- ls she dead?
- Barely alive. Fetch Master Guillaume.

I think she needs God far more
than she needs a doctor.

It's useless. l'm doomed.
But you must save her.

The Princess of lskander.
Shéhérazade.

She was going to Baghdad,
to the Caliph.

You have to save her.
You have to.

Swear, l'm dying.
Swear. Swear!

- What will you do?
- What I swore to do.

Only those who want to
will follow me.

' Tally-ho!
' Tally-ho!

We're being attacked!
Someone betrayed us.

Ahmed! Take Shéhérazade
to the lair! Hurry!

Didier! They're taking her away!

You must give up,
Renaud. Look.

They took refuge in those ruins.
Attacking would cost us half our men.

We must now resume our way
to Baghdad, Renaud.

- Are they attacking?
- No, but their chief just arrived.

- Who are you and what do you want?
- I am Renaud of Villecroix,

Let's talk as friends: if I give you
Shéhérazade, what will you give me?

But, first, come and see.
Come.

Look at her, and tell me
who's the real thief, you or me.

Do you see this young lord?
He wants to buy you back,

But you probably want to
see her better still. Wait.

50 sheep...
Surely you wouldn't dare.

- Is that all?
- I don't have anything else.

You forget about your ring.

Less than nothing.

You'd rather do it yourself.
As you wish.

You really haven't got
anything more?

L'd rather be the benefactor of your
nights than the remorse of your days.

May Allah go with you.

- Are you looking for your star?
- Yes. While I wait for you.

Now I just want to look at you
and shut my mouth.

- Why do you flee from me,
Shéhérazade? - l'm scared.

- Of me?
- Of us.

Of what passed between us
in the raider's lair.

I never saw you before and,
suddenly, I saw nothing but you.

There's no such thing as
"after" in love, Shéhérazade.

There's another form of courage,
then. Maybe an easier one.

For far more serious reasons,
that you are wrong to mock.

- Don't you believe in anything?
- I believe in what is.

How long have you been
wearing this scarf?

The wind tore it from me while
I watched you riding by.

I had to come in the heart
of the desert to find it again.

No, leave me.

Come. The storm is brewing
and my supper is waiting for us.

oh, you, my tender love,

I just came back from the banks
of the Tigris River.

L'm scared, Renaud.
What did you decide?

No, Renaud. It would have been
merely difficult.

Listen to me. We're but
one man and one woman.

I don't believe in love challenging
misery and time.

We'll have mortally offended
the two masters of the world,

We'll forget. Time rubs
everything out.

May peace be with you, my lord.

Greetings to you too,
Shéhérazade.

You have maybe some
farewells to say?

So the moment has come.
There's still time, Renaud.

Don't.

Sir Renaud of Vi llecroix,
ambassador of Emperor Charlemagne

No: rise, Renaud of Villecroix,
my friends do not kneel before me.

Welcome to this palace.

Here is a message of friendship
from Emperor Charlemagne.

But right now, other
obligations claim me.

I hope that you and your friends

Shirin, Princess of Bassorah.

Djemilah, Princess of Great Cairo.

Shéhérazade, Princess of lskander.

You are beautiful
as the night, Shirin,

I thank you, Djemilah,
for coming from so far away.

As for you, Shéhérazade,l was
smiling at the praise that poets

May Allah forgive me,

Master, l'm not young enough to tell
which one is the most desirable,

Djemilah, a water snake with
two tails saved a whole people

Well answered too.

No, I thank Him for allowing
a thorny bush to grow roses.

Master, I spoke too hastily.

Maybe the second test
will decide between them.

Praise to Allah who made
all of you equally beautiful.

Your turn, Djemilah.

Your turn, Shéhérazade.

So we must proceed
with the third test.

Fill the cups.

If you consider that Harun al Raschid's
love is not worth risking your life,

These men have been
sentenced to die.

Now you're going to tell me
whether you refuse or accept.

I refuse.

Maybe Allah would have
chosen you.

What about you?
What do you decide?

I accept too.

Let Shéhérazade choose first.

Your turn, now, Shirin.

I can't. I can't.

Could you?

NQ!

How did you guess that none
of the three ewers contained poison?

You can now tell your servant to rise.
He played his part very well.

I choose you, Shéhérazade.

Praise Allah!
Praise Harun al Raschid!

He's probably gone to drink in one
of the brothels around. Let's look again.

For three days, he's been acting
as if he'd lost his head. He's scaring me.

Yakouma! Yakouma!

Here I am, my white lambs!
Patience, patience!

Now, men of Baghdad,
open your eyes.

The wedding night of our
beloved Caliph

Look, look! But a pretty girl is like
the fruit of the orange tree

Look: here she is, now clad
in her sole beauty,

No... My lord... what are you doing?
My lord, stop!

Are you crazy?
What did you do?

All I can see is that time passes
and you're doing nothing.

Speak.

Peace be with you, Shirin.

And you're afraid to tell me?
Why?

Tell me the name of the man.
And of the woman! I want to know.

MY anger, YOU say?

I was waiting for you.

Here is my answer to your
Emperor's request.

The sepulchre of your God
is now placed under my protection.

You'll be able to leave tomorrow
with peace in your heart.

I thank you.
Please allow me to go now.

Take a seat and watch.

Never again will you see
what you're about to see.

Shéhérazade, you agreed
to dance for us tonight,

Dance, Shéhérazade.

I thank you, Harun al Raschid.

But you were wrong earlier:

l'll always see again
what l've just seen.

May l 8° now?

- May I talk to you?
- Who are you?

Would you like to see her one
last time before you go? Alone?

Where are you going?
We leave in two hours.

I needed you.
Where were you this time?

- Why would you do this for me?
- For nothing.

He'll be here in no time.

Come, and don't forget that you are Selim
son of Mammud, the caravan master.

Come: my mistress
wants to see you.

- It's done, mistress. He's with her now.
- Very well.

- Mistress.
- Yes.

No, leave me, Renaud.
You were mad to come here.

But I didn't know that
I loved you.

I got you into this palace,
l'll know how to get you out of it.

I accept to see it rise
only once if l'm with you.

No, Renaud, no.

So it was true.

Nothing forced you
to come to me.

What about the man, Master?
Do you want me to get rid of him?

Listen to me.
She's innocent.

Your prisons must be large enough
for two innocents.

You're free.

Let's go: he's not here.

- Renaud.
- Leave me alone.

Stop watching the
accursed tower!

Shéhérazade,
Princess of lskander,

- l'm ready.
- I know.

No: it's useless.

No use. lt's over.

StOp!

Harun al Raschid, Caliph of Caliphs
and commander of the true believers,

You were her sun, she
turned her back to the sun.

The death you chose for her
is far too sweet.

Give us the bitch, my Lord, and we, in turn,
will give her the nights she deserves.

You may.
The law allows it.

Will you suffer this, Didier?
I won't, l'm warning you.

Stop, Mou loud!

Back!

- Let go of that woman.
- Beware.

He we are on the threshold
of the desert, as you wished.

May God keep you safe.
Farewell, Renaud.

Renaud, take my sword.
lt's never been in better hands.

The well was filled, and it's
a two days walk to the next one.

The water in the desert
also belongs to the Caliph.

Tomorrow we'll start again
on the North trail.

Have faith.

Renaud!

Why didn't they take
both horses away?

Why didn't they cut
our throats on the spot?

Too soon, Renaud.
The dead do not suffer.

We're going to die, my love.

- A black rider arrow.
- Cowards!

You're burning with a fever.
We must stop, Renaud.

You don't even have the strength
to smile at me anymore.

We must reach the Tirkit springs.

Renaud!

I can't anymore. I can't anymore,
it's over, Shéhérazade.

In what? We don't own
anything anymore.

L'll leave him to you.
Stay in his shadow.

May peace be with you,
Shéhérazade.

Take, then.
You won't take much.

You'll come back, Shéhérazade.

Renaud. Renaud. It is I.
It is I. No!

Harun al Raschid,
where are you?

Renaud!

Avillage, Renaud.
You are saved.

This man is ill.
Can anyone here cure him?

This man is going to die.
You must cure him.

Don't you understand?
I tell you he's going to die.

You don't have a right.
What about the law of the desert?

Is it gold that you want? Here,
l'll give it all to you. All of it.

Where must we go
so that he lives?

Baghdad.

I knew you'd come.

Defeated to the core.
And here you are.

And now defend yourself.
Defend him.

I wasn't the only one who waited
for you. The executioner did too.

I love you.

What are you waiting for? Lie to me!
I might believe you. Try.

But no: you are Shéhérazade,
you wouldn't beg!

He'll go, l'll stay.

Let God judge me. I could kill
you both with one blow...

and I do not dare.

He was to take you to
a safe hideout

Take this man, and care for him
as if he were me.

Then we must give the order to rebel.
That's our last chance, Barmak.

You can really only rely on the
mercenary troops stationed in Baghdad.

- Ten days.
- That's more than we need.

He's saved, Shéhérazade.
There's no danger anymore.

Then he'll go tomorrow.

My love... My love...

- Shéhérazade.
- We are saved.

Nothing threatens us anymore.
We shall live.

- Who brought me here?
- I did.

You saw Harun and you bought
my life from him. That's it, right?

At what price, Shéhérazade?

What will become of us? What shall
we do, one without the other?

Farewell, Renaud.

You 're late, Adballah.

The longest ways
are usually the safest.

They will. They always follow when
there's something to break down.

She'll give the signal
from the palace.

May peace be with you.

Don't force yourself
to smile at me.

You are here and l'll keep you.

You must flee, master,
you must leave Baghdad.

- You're going to give me back
my jewelry. - No.

- Give me back my jewelry now!
- Let me go or I kill you.

- Come, hurry, the Caliph has fled.
- You wretch! What did you say?

- How many of them? - A dozen men,
Moussour, the Caliph and the Sultana.

There they are.

It's a trick. The ford
is on the left. Follow me.

Take him alive.

- You! - Now you won't prevent
the Caliph from arriving in Kerbellah.

They took her, master.
lt's over.

Let's go. I don't want
her death to be in vain.

Master. l've been told of a great
number of riders and mercenaries

And five hundred of us.

You don't have anything to fear.

I know that the Frank knights
encampment is around here.

Renaud! Renaud!

Allah, do not forsake me.

A sand storm.
We must take shelter.

It's abating. We can see
the sun again.

Shéhérazade!

- I knew I would find you.
- Now l'll keep you.

No, Renaud, I haven't
come to join you.

Where is the Caliph, Moussour?
Did they take him?

No, he could flee.
There. The mountain.

Counter-attack!

Forward!

Tonight, we'll sup in
the Caliph's palace. lt's over.

Look!

So you appear together
before me for the third time.

I give her to you.

I do not give her to you
because I stopped loving her.

Go now. Get out, all of you.
I want to stay alone with her.

You're the greatest and noblest
man I ever met, Harun al Raschid.

Why do you cry? You're going
to enter the gardens of bliss

Why did God give me
only one heart?

And I did nothing but hurt you.
Forgive me.

I forgave you in advance
the first time I saw you.

But what is it? Are you
wounded? You must call...

I wish I could hide it from you
until the end, but I can't.

Leave me now,
I want to be alone.

May peace be with you,
Harun al Raschid.

My God, everything is
accomplished.

Help me.
