She will not fit in - Sie passt nicht/Liebe mit Gaffern - 結婚の失敗 - Elisabeth in English

Hi there friend! "What is this all about?" you may ask. Well I stumbled upon this musical in Japanese, and quickly found myself in a deep rabbit hole trying to understand and learn the songs. But since I do not know either Japanese or German (or any of the other languages you can find this musical in) I decided to translate my favourites for myself. I tried to stay as faithful to the original Austrian version, but through the lens of the Takarazuka revue and my Norwegian understanding of English. I know, it's a mess :P I'll make a video about my intentions for the translations, what my thoughts are, why I love the musical and so forth at some point. No pressure ;) And In the meantime if you have any question or thoughts, don't be shy and comment down below. So yeah, please enjoy this fan translation of Elisabeth the musical as I interpit it.

Lyrics:

Max: Sister in law, I am appalled, Is this the plan you foresaw?
Sisi will suffer great discomfort, trapped in the imperial court.
Sophie: I am in awe you're my brother in law so I take this as one of your faux pas
Max: Why did it have to be him?
Sophie: Franz Joseph is blind, love does that sometimes. He picked the wrong daughter for sure.
Max: They make an awkward couple and He's not right for her
Sophie:They make an awkward couple and she's not right for him
Max: My poor daughter with that boy
Sophie: My poor boy with that girl
They don’t suit each other
Max: He doesn't fit her, she doesn't fit in, they don't fit, He doesn't fit her
Sophie: They don’t, They won't
They don’t suit each other
She doesn't suit him
Wedding guests: Sweet and lovely
stunning, supreme
if not a bit childish
she's only a girl
New to court
easy to lead
Her mother in law she should trust and agree
Grünne: The service was lovely.
Schwarzenberg: and far too long.
A wife: But Rauscher as usual went on...
Male aristocrat: and on.
An old man: Her family has a terrible social standing.
The men: A bad sign, of decline. When the in-laws disagree from the start.
A female aristocrat: She seems friendly
and gentle.
Sophie: She is naive.
All women: Did you see when she left the stage coach (Everyone saw)
her diadem landed on the road
A clumsy little plaything indeed (Indeed)
It's almost like a story, this simple country girl (Men: That is how a fairytale always start
but in real life it will fall apart)
Now an empress (what a joke), wears a crown (Undeserved)
Men: That is how a fairytale always start
but in real life it will fall apart
All cast Interchangeable:
He doesn't fit her, She doesn't fit him
They don't fit, they won't fit, will never fit in
he don't fit, she won't fit, she will not fit in
Elisabeth: Could that be... Death?
Franz Joseph: Sisi!
Elisabeth: Franz!
Franz Joseph: What is wrong? You look so pale.
Elisabeth: Please hold me, and never let go!
Franz Joseph: Sisi, everyone is staring. You must act propper, as an empress.
Elisabeth: But at last you promised me this, when I gave the embrace of my kiss
Franz Joseph: That not even stormy water rocks the shore.
