Frei und schwerelos [Defying Gravity] [English translation]

Elphaba, couldn't you ever manage to control yourself for once?

Instead of immediately exploding like that?

Are you happy now?

Say, are you happy now?

You have asserted yourself and you have decided

But you are satisfied now?

Are you happy now?

Happy and proud of yourself?

Presumably it's worth it to creep around slimily

To reach goals

I don't exactly know how

However I hope you're happy

Elphi, now listen to me well

Go forth and excuse yourself

You can meet him again as though nothing happened

What you've longed for, you can have

I know. However I don't want it

No, I can't want it

Never again

Something in me is different, something is awakening in me

I no longer observe the rules that someone else made for me

I have decided, I don't dream any longer, I live

I close my eyes, I let go

and float

And feel free, so free and weightless

Only true to myself still and free and weightless

You won't catch me again

It seems to me that you're out of your mind

Please stop this madness

One can't set me limits, I won't stick to them

Even if not everything goes, I want to see for myself what I can

For too long I wanted to be loved, that's why I played their game

Is that the price for love, does it cost too much?

Now I am free, so free and weightless

Over and out, I am free and weightless

And no one can catch me

Glinda, come with me: imagine all that we could produce together!

After dreams

Come fly with me after dreams

Together we are a superteam,

We could escape, Glinda,

Beyond all limits

If we complement each other

No power that defeats us

Just the two of us, so free and weightless

Free together, so free and weightless

And no one can catch us

So are you coming?

Are you happy now?

Is it really so?

Oh, yes.

I hope you're happy too

I hope you will never grieve

And also won't regret anything later

I wish you all the happiness in the world

And a friendship that lasts.

Look for me in the sky where the night conquers the day

As someone recently said, to live is to learn how to fly

And even if I fly alone, I'll still choose my destination myself

You who creep on Earth can't imagine what I feel

I fly past, I am free and weightless

Only true to myself still and free and weightless

Unbound and alone

And no one here, in the Land of Oz

And if its magic were so great

Will reach me or catch me!

Are you happy now?

Look at her, the witch

Catch her!

Catch me!

No one mourns witches,

So catch the witch!
