If you don't understand dutch:
The judge: But why, Lucheni? Why have you killed empress Elisabeth?
Lucheni: Alla malora!
The judge: Answer, Luigi Lucheni!
Lucheni: Why, why? Each night the same question, already hundred years. What is the point? Merda, I am dead!
The judge: The cowardly attack on the empress of Austria
Lucheni: Va a farti phot-delicate!
The judge: Reveal at last the aims!
Lucheni: The aims? I killed her because she wanted!
The judge: No nonsense
Lucheni: She wanted it There are reliable witnesses
The judge: What kind of witnesses are that?
Lucheni: Her contemporaries, yes.. but still dont rest, still speaking about Elisabeth!
The death: the empire has sunk, flesh rots, gloss fades.
But in the dark of the grave, There at night they are dancing the deaddance.
Hate, dead, madness that drives us
Envy, danger, duty that we ignore
Mourning, fame, everything what remains us
Illusion, doom, everything went wrong
Elisabeth, Elisabeth
You were lonely, till the end
A riddle was put in front us
The solution was never confessed,
Weak, bashful, holy and cursed
Delicate, docile, lonely and desired
Wild, obedient, looking for luck
Strong, weak what went wrong
Lucheni: Nobody was as proud as she. She has despised you, And you are, full of superficiality
The deads: In the ravine of time!
Lucheni: Nobody has ever understood her. She never gave up her freedom. She flirted with the black powers!
The deads: She did what we cursed
She has coveted the darkness!
All danced with the death
But nobody as Elisabeth (4x)
Lucheni: Attenzione! His Majesty the death!
The Death: I just cant explain
That old song
That since all those years, never left me
Even if it sounds heavenly the pain is devilish
According to the people it must be love
I come obtain people
It leaves me cold
I do it without delay
Young or old
How could I be this weak? What was my aim? simple: I really loved her
The judge: you avoids the questions, Lucheni. Love, dead no fairy tales!
Lucheni: But I told you already! she loved the death! And he loved her!
The judge: For the last time, Lucheni, who is behind this?
Lucheni: The death, only the death!
The judge: The aim, Lucheni!
Lucheni: Love! Un grande amore, hahahaha!
The deads: Elisabeth.
Lucheni: Elisabeth!
The Death: Elisabeth!
Lucheni: Elisabeth!
The Death: Elisabeth!
The deads: Elisabeth, Elisabeth, Elisabeth!
(What you are looking at is the dutch version. It is very close to the orignal German version, because these two languages are much alike.)

Synopsis:
Elisabeth's life started like a romantic fairytale and ended with a tragic murder. When she was 16 years of age, she ascended the Austrian throne as a young girl of radiant beauty. Emperor Franz Joseph chose her as his wife instead of her sister, Helene, who had been selected. He was unable to resist her carefree manner and youthfulness. But the first dark shadows started to gather soon after the festive wedding. There were strict rules at the Viennese Court. Deprivation and power struggles made life a misery for young Elisabeth. Her strict mother-in-law, Archduchess Sophie, watched her mercilessly and insisted that she complied with the rigid protcol. Imprisoned by court conventions and a role model which did not suit her, Elisabeth fought with all her power for her freedom and personal happiness. Her husband was unable to help her. He was subjected to his duties and at the mercy of his domineering mother. She hardly remained at the Viennese Court, her inner conflict drove her from place to place. She travelled restlessly through Europe, not available for anyone, neither for her son nor her husband. She got lost in her own world, always accompanied by a mysterious force - Death.
