Alexander Rybak - Fairytale - ASL Song

Alexander Rybak's "Fairytale" performed in sign language by Stephen Torrence. Captions by yours truly, lyrics/gloss below. Enjoy!

Years ago when I was younger
PAST++ I CHILD
I kinda liked a girl I knew
GIRL, I FALL-IN-LOVE
She was mine and we were sweethearts
TWO-OF-US CONNECTED, MY SWEETHEART
That was then, but then it's true
THAT END, BUT NOW?

I'm in love with a fairytale even though it hurts
FANTASY GIRL I LOVE-HER, PAIN IGNORE
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind I'm already cursed
I BECOME CRAZY, DON'T-MIND,
I ALREADY CAPTIVATED

Every day we started fighting
EVERY-MORNING TWO-OF-US ARGUE
Every night we fell in love
EVERY-NIGHT LOVE EACH-OTHER
No one else could make me sadder
WITH-HER ONLY, I SAD
But no one else could lift me high above
BUT WITH-HER ONLY, I INSPIRED

I don't know what I was doing
PAST TWO-OF-US GET-ALONG
When suddenly we fell apart
SUDDEN-HIT BREAK-UP
Nowadays I cannot find her
NOW LOOK-FOR-HER, FIND CAN'T
But when I do we'll get a brand new start
BUT FUTURE, TWO-OF-US AGAIN SWEETHEARTS

(CHORUS)

She's a fairytale, yeah even though it hurts
FANTASY GIRL, PAIN IGNORE
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind I'm already cursed
I BECOME CRAZY, DON'T-MIND,
I ALREADY CAPTIVATED

Whoa. You just went all Eurovision on us. How about some La Roux or Lily Allen or Verka Seduchka next?

[CaptainValor]

@DAyangBRICK333 I LOVE Lily Allen! Would definitely do one of her songs if I were still making videos.

[fantasmaofdoom]

Next up: Rebecca Black? :D

[CaptainValor]

@fantasmaofdoom No. o_o

[veganofdoom]

You're beautiful! <3

[DAyangBRICK333]

@CaptainValor At first I was like 'whaaat' and then I watched 'A Personal Appeal from ASL Songsigner CaptainValor' and I was like 'alright, change, progression, I can respect that'.

[jodolski]

Oh, this was awful. :(

[irishdude69]

@DAyangBRICK333 Verka Seduchka !!!!!!!



[UberCarla]

I fell in love with this even before I started watching. :)

AMAZING!!!!

[gievanaken]

@CaptainValor Sadly, I think you should Verka Seduchka would be more fun...

COSTUMES AND EVERYTHING :P

Greetings from a Belgian fan!

[MsRedHandedJill]

@CaptainValor you are such an inspiration. Watching your videos has renewed my love for ASL and reminded my why I began to study it in the first place. It's such a wonderfully emotional and expressive language. Please make more song videos if you can!

[BirdKoyal]

OMG....i just fell in love... *blush* :)

keep up the good work...God bless!

@CaptainValor Nothing says you can't make one for nostalgia's sake. *cough*hinthint*cough*
