"You Are My Own" - English Translation follows scene description:

和央ようか と 樹里 咲穂, Wao Yoka & Sakiho Juri in s "Phantom" 2004 Takarazuka, Soragumi/Cosmos.
Wao Yoka as Eric (Phantom) and Sakiho Juri as his father, Carriere.

Eric has been spotted by the police who chased him and shot at him. Eric is wounded, but still manages to escape. The police search for him, and when Carriere overhears them commenting on the Phantom's blood on the floor, he knows where Erik is hiding. He sends the police off and pulls Erik from his hiding place behind some props. Erik is badly wounded, too weak to make it back to his domain without help. As they wait for the coast to clear, they talk together. Erik is dying, they both know it, and Carriere finally tells him that he is his father. Erik replies that he already knew, but was waiting for Carriere to say so. He asks his father to promise that he won't allow his body to be put on display as a freak show somewhere. Carriere promises. They sing the tender and beautiful song: "You Are My Own"

English Translation:
"You Are My Own"
Carriere:
Erik you are my son
Do you know you're my son?
You became my whole life
When your life was begun
Do you know that the man
Who protected you always
Has been your father?
Phantom:
Yes, I know I'm your son
And I more than surmise
I have known for some years
That my eyes are your eyes
And I've wondered how long
It would take you
To tell me it's true.
Carriere:
Now that you know,
I must tell you I'm grateful for you.
Phantom:
No, it is I who am grateful to you,
My father.
Both:
For the music alone,
It's been worth all the pain
And a life of perpetual
Darkness and rain
Carriere:
For inside you the light of the soul
Of your mother has shone
Erik you are my son, and my boy,
And my life, and my own.
Phantom:
"And...what did you think of it?"
Carriere:
"Think of what?"
Phantom:
"Your infant's face."
Carriere:
"Ah. It...could have been better."
Phantom:
"Remember the day I looked down into the water?"
Carriere:
"Yes."
Phantom:
"I thought I had seen a sea monster."
Carriere:
"I remember."
Phantom:
"I had...that's the irony. And then, for a while, I
thought I was only
dreaming."
Carriere:
"I went through that phase, too."
Phantom:
"Not a good face for a tenor, I remember thinking."
Carriere:
"Not even for a baritone."
Phantom:
"No...it is a good voice, isn't it?"
Carriere::
"Very good. You would have had a fine career."
Phantom:
Will you bury me deep
I must never be found
When at last I find sleep
And I'm cold in the ground
Carriere:
Yes, I promise I'll never allow you
To be on display
Erik, you are my son.
Phantom:
I have known all along.
Carriere:
And the light of my life--
Phantom:
I have known all along
Carriere:
Erik, you are my son, and my boy
And my love, and my own!

Well obviously she'll say son.

Since the character is a male.

I got chills, and began to cry when they began to sing.

This is such a beautiful song. And has such a delicate story behind it. . . :'{

[Emirichan317]

@AerithGainsborough11 Yup! They all are. Look up Takarazuka Revue theatre group. ^^ They're pretty awesome.

[stormingtears]

Could you provide a translation of their dialogue? 

[SymphonyforSybelle]

@AerithGainsborough11 Erik is played by a woman ^^ Wao Youka

[AerithGainsborough11]

Wait, the person who played Erik....he isn't a girl.....is he?

[xoxoMandieRosexoxo]
