What's This? (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

"What's This?" is a song from The Nightmare Before Christmas. It is the third song in the film, and it is sung by Jack Skellington after he arrives in Christmas Town.

The song was dubbed in the majority of the film's dubs, though the Catalan, Czech, Hungarian, Indonesian and Turkish dubs all left it in English.

This song is also notable for being dubbed into Norwegian and Swedish for incusion on sing-a-long specials, despite the fact that the film itself has not yet been dubbed into either of these languages.

English
Performed by Danny Elfman

What's this? There's white things in the air. What's this? I can't believe my eyes. I must be dreaming! Wake up, Jack! This isn't fair! What's this?
 * -|Lyrics=What's this? What's this? There's color everywhere.

What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong. What's this? There's people singing songs. What's this? The streets are lined with little creatures laughing. Everybody seems so happy. Have I possibly gone daffy? What is this? What's this?

There's children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads. They're busy building toys, and absolutely no one's dead. There's frost on every window. Oh, I can't believe my eyes. And in my bones, I feel the warmth that's coming from inside.

Oh look, what's this? They're hanging mistletoe. They kiss? Why, that looks so unique. Inspired! They're gathering around To hear a story, roasting chestnuts on a fire What's this?

What's this? In here, they've got a little tree. How queer! And who would ever think And why? They're covering it with tiny little things They've got electric lights on strings, and there's a smile on everyone So, now, correct me if I'm wrong. This looks like fun! This looks like fun! Oh, could it be? I got my wish? What's this?

Oh my, what now? The children are asleep. But look, there's nothing underneath. No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them or ensnare them, Only little cozy things secure inside their dreamland. What's this?

The monsters are all missing, and the nightmares can't be found. And in their place, there seems to be good feeling all around. Instead of screams, I swear I can hear music in the air. The smell of cakes and pies are absolutely everywhere.

The sights, the sounds, they're everywhere and all around! I've never felt so good before! This empty place inside me is filling up. I simply cannot get enough! I want it! Oh, I want it! Oh, I want it for my own! I've got to know! I've got to know! What is this place that I have found? What is this?

Title: ما الأمر؟ (Ma Alamr?)

Performed by Amr Yehia/عمرو يحيى

The fourth verse of the song was cut on television broadcasts, but is preserved in the full version.

ما الأمر؟ ما الأمر؟ ألوان في السماء ما الأمر؟ رقائق بيضاء ما الأمر؟ أنا لا أصدق عيني !هذا حلم. فلأستيقظ. هذا عناء ما الأمر؟
 * -|Lyrics=

ما الأمر؟ ما الأمر؟ هناك خطأ ما ما الأمر؟ تهليل و غناء ما الأمر؟ في طريقي أشخاص يضحكون في سرور و سعادة. هل أصاب عقلي شيء؟ ما الأمر؟ ما الأمر؟

يرمون كرات الثلج بدلا من الرؤوس كل الوجوه تضحك و لا وجه عبوس رغم أن المنازل يغطيها الجليد أشعر في عظامي دفئا يسري من جديد

ما الأمر؟ شجرة في حجرة الطعام؟ عجيب! أمر غير مألوف لما يعلقون أشياء صغيرة كهرباء في أسلاك و الجميع يبتسمون !فلتقل أني أخطأت. هنا مرح! هنا مرح هل تحقق ما تمنيت؟ ما الأمر؟

و الآن ماذا؟ أطفال نائمون انظر! لا شيء هنا يخيف لا غول, لا أشباح لتعوي أو لتصرخ أو لترعب هنا دفء و الأطفال في أمان ما الأمر؟

لا وحش يوجد هنا و لا كابوس مريب و في بلدتهم يسود الأمان العجيب بدلا من العويل أسمع لحنا جميل و رائحة الحلوى هنا عطرها يسيل

أصوات! أضواء! من حولي في كل الأنحاء لم أشعر هكذا من قبل الآن فرح داخلي يتحقق! و مشاعري تتدفق !أريده! أريده! أريده ملكي !لا بد لي! لابد لي! ما هذا البلد العجيب ما هو الأمر؟

What is it? What is it? Colors in the sky What is it? White chips What is it? I can't believe my eyes. This is a dream. Let me wake up. This is trouble! What is it?
 * -| Translation=

What is it? What is it? There is something wrong. What is it? Chanting and singing What is it? There are people in my way laughing In happiness and bliss. Did something go wrong with my mind? What is it? What is it?

They throw snowballs instead of heads All the faces are laughing and there's not one frowning Although the houses are covered in snow I feel a warmth flowing through my bones once again

What is it? A tree in the dining room? Strange! An unfamiliar thing Why do they hang small things, Electricity in wires.. and everyone is smiling Let's say that I was wrong. Here is fun! Here is fun! Did what I wished for come true? What is it?

And now what? Sleeping children Look! There's nothing scary here. No ghouls, no ghosts that shriek, scream or scare There is warmth here and the children are safe What is it?

There is no monster here and no strange nightmare And in their town, a weird safety reigns Instead of howling, I hear a beautiful tune And the odor of candy permeates the air

Voices! Lights! Around me in all directions I've never felt like this before Now a happiness comes true in me, and my feelings overflow! I want it! I want it! I want it to be mine! It must be mine! It must be mine! What is this strange town? What is it?

Title: 係乜? (Haih Māt?)

Performed by Leung Ho Cheung/梁皓翔

係乜？點解？全部加添色彩 點解？白雪片刻飄過 係乜？是我沒法斷定我搞錯加快醒覺 真係唔公平 點解？
 * -|Lyrics=

係乜？係咩？樣樣都好唔妥 點解？人人輕鬆歌唱 點解？民眾上街笑著去玩去消費 個個非常開心生活比對搞到我發晒癲 點解咁？ 點解？

問細路掟嘅雪球　來替代掟腦袋 還努力造玩具　而且無一個人死咗 雪飄於每個窗裡　令到我亦難直信 從骨子裡我感到無限美麗而溫暖

你睇！係乜？甜蜜來回對視 錫錫 懸掛花至親吻 習俗 聚滿火堆吹暖去聽故事 喺火爐旁邊焗栗子 點解？

係乜？喺度　佢哋有棵細樹 好靚　誰人佈置想到 用乜？電線串起燈泡　再加上小禮品 細心掛起去點綴 而家每個人面上都有笑容　係唔係呀？ 看大眾一起在心歡喜 滿心我願望成真 係乜？

跟住　會點？兒童甜睡美夢 單睇　床下無乜鬼怪 無鬼？唔見女妖衝出去捉嚇親了寶貝 這夢境裡只有穩妥歡笑舒暢感覺 係乜？

是怪物全部失蹤而惡夢也無影蹤 在這個場地周圍氣氛感覺都好好 聽唔到恐怖尖叫而係哄動洋樂韻 蛋糕跟乳餅香氣洋溢到處在飄香

見到　聽到 ？？圍著快事 轉啦！從未有咁歡暢 開心　填滿我空虛的這心要加滿分 仲等我未夠好寬鬆 要加多啲　再加多啲　再加多啲俾我 正正要知想要想知這處我搵到嘅地方 係乜嘢？

What's this? Why? It's full of colors Why? White snow suddenly passing What's this? I can't distinguish; I'm mistaken, I have to wake up That's not fair! Why?
 * -| Translation=

What's this? What's this? Everything is wrong! Why? Everyone's singing and relaxing Why? Villagers go out to play, to consume Everyone's happy compared to my life, causing me to get crazy Why? Why?

Children are throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads And busy producing toys with no one being dead Snow floats to every window, it's unbelievable I can feel the beautiful warmth inside my bones

You see! What's this? Looking at each other sweetly Kissing, "hanging a flower" and kissing Culture! Gathering around to hear a story near the fire, Roasting chestnuts next to the fireplace Why?

What's this? Here, they've got a little tree Pretty, who would think that? What are they using? Light bulbs on an electric wire, with a little gift Carefully hanging to embellishment, Now everyone has a smile on their face, don't they? Seeing that everyone's happy and joyful My dream is coming true What's this?

Then, what now? Kids are sleeping in their dreams See, there's no monsters underneath the bed No ghosts? I see no banshee running out to scare the babies This dream is so relaxed and cozy What's this?

The monsters are all missing, and the nightmares can't be found This place has good feelings all around I can hear not frightened screams, but music in the air The smell of cakes and desserts is everywhere

See that, hear that, (...) Turning! Never felt so good before Happiness is filling my emptiness. Giving this a full mark, I still can't get enough I need to add more, please add more, get more for me This is what I want to find What is this?

Sing-a-long version
Title: Kijk nou

This version was produced before the film itself received a full Dutch dub. It was included in a sing-a-long released on a special VHS edition of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

En dit! Dit voelt zo lekker zacht! Kijk nou! 'k Geloof mijn ogen niet. Is dit en droom? Kom op, zeg! Wie heeft dit berdacht? Kijk nou!
 * -|Lyrics=Kijk nou, kijk nou! Oh, wat een kleurenpracht!

Kijk nou, kijk nou! Dat kan toch zeker niet? Kijk nou! Dat zingen ze een lied! Kijk nou! Ze lachen en ze dansen en ze zingen. Echt alleen maar leuke dingen. Oh, mijn hoofd staat haast op springen! Wat is dit? Kijk nou!

Ze gooien met en sneeuwbal in plaats van met en hoofd. Ze spelen hier met speelgoed en er is ook niemand dood. 'n Ijsbloem op het venster, oh, ik weet niet waar ik ben. En in mijn botten gloeit een warm gevoel dat ik niet ken

Oh kijk, wat is dat? Ze staan onder een tak. Een kus! Wat lijkt me dat uniek! Zo trouw! Ze roosteren kastanjes Allemaal genietend van een mooi verhaal. Kijk nou!

Kijk nou! En daar, daar staat zowaar een boom! Dat is raar! Wie had dat ooi gedacht? Waaroom? Ze hangen er van alles in en op 'n Piek en lampjes in de top. De mensen lachen en zijn blij. Als ik het mis heb zeg 't mij. Maar dit is leuk, ja, dit is leuk! Is dit wat ik al jaren wou? Kijk nou!

Oh jee, wat nu? De kinderen slapen net. Maar kijk, geen spook onder het bed. Geen geest! Geen heksen die je angst aan jagen of je plagen. Echt alleen maar leuke dingen in hun zoete droomland. Kijk nou!

De monsters zijn afwezig en je vind hier ook geen kwaad. Er komt een soort van blij en warm gevoel voor in de plats. Ik hoor hier geen gegil maar wel muziek en hoorgenschal. De lucht van taart en koekjes ruik je werk'lijk overal.

Gezang, gelach, je hoort het hier de hele dag. Ik heb me nooit zo goed - gevoeld. De leegte in mij vult zich voor de eerste keer. Ik wil nog meer. Ik wil nog meer. Ik wil dit! Oh, ik wil dit! Oh, ik wil dit voor mezelf! Ik moet het weten, moet het weten! Waar ben ik naar toegebracht? Wat is dit? Translation=Look, look! Oh, what a colorsplendor! And this! This feels so nicely soft! Look! I don't believe my eyes. Is it a dream? Come on! Who's thought of this? Look!

Look, look! Can that not be? Look! They're singing a song! Look! They laugh and dance and sing. Really, only nice things. Oh, my head is about to explode! What is this? Look!

They throw with a snowball instead of with a head. They're playing with toys here, and also, nobody's dead. An ice flower on the window, oh, I don't know where I am. And in my bones, a warm feeling is glowing that I don't know.

Oh, look, what is that? They stand beneath a branch. A kiss! That seems unique to me! So faithful! They're roasting chestnuts All enjoying a beautiful story. Look!

Look! And there, there stands, sure enough, a tree! That's weird! Who'd ever thought of that? Why? They're hanging all kinds of things on it A point and lamps in the top. The people laugh and they are happy. If I'm wrong, tell me. But this is fun, yes, this is fun! Is this what I wanted all those years? Look!

Oh, what now? The children are just asleep. But look, no spook beneath the bed. Not a ghost! Not any witches to scare you or tease you. Really only nice things in their sweet dreamworld. Look!

The monsters are absent, and you don't find any bad here. There comes a kind of happy and warm feeling in its place. I don't hear screaming, but I do hear music and horn sounds. The smell of cakes and cookies you smell literally everywhere.

Singing, laughter, you hear it here all day long. I've never felt so good. The emptiness inside me is filling up for the first time. I want more. I want more. I want this! Oh, I want this! Oh, I want this for myself! I have to know it, I have to know it! Where have I been brought to? What is this?

Film version
Title: Kijk nou

Performed by Florus van Rooijen

This version is from the Dutch dub of the film itself. The lyrics are loosely based on the prior sing-a-long version.

En dit, zo wit 't is net kristal. Kijk nou! 'k Geloof mijn ogen niet. Zit je dromen, Jack? Word wakker! 't Is hier bal! Kijk nou!
 * -|Lyrics=Kijk nou, kijk nou! Die kleuren overal!

Kijk daar, wat raar! Ik weet niet wat ik hoor. Kijk nou! Ze zingen hier in koor. Kijk nou! Die wezentjes, ze lachen allemaal Echt iedereen loopt hierte stralen, of ben ik nu aan het malen van de kou? Kijk nou!

Ze gooien hier met sneeuw en niet met schedels naar elkaar. Geen dood, verderf, maar speelgoed en niemand doet 'r naar. En kijk die mooie lichtjes, het is een dolle boel En in mijn botten voel ik langzaamaan een warm gevoel.

Kijk nou! Wat knus! Daar hangt een maretak. Een kus? Was dat mijn hart 'ie brak? Oh, wauw! Ze zitten bij het haardvuur En ze luisteren verhalen en ze stralen. Kijk nou!

Kijk nou! Kijk daar! Ik zie en kleine spar. Nee maar, nu raak ik in de war. Wat raar! Waarom zetten ze alles onder stroom? Oh, voor de lampjes in de boom. Oh, kijk hoe mooi, 't is net een droom, Ik kom nu eindelijk op stoom. Oh, deze plek is echt te gek, Misschien is dit wel wat ik wou. Kijk nou!

Kijk nou, wat zoet! Vermoeid van alle pret Maar kijk, geen beest onder een bed. Geen lijk, geen heks of geest of boeman die ze op komt halen of vermalen. Nee, ze dwalen vredig af naar droomland. Kijk nou!

Hier is geen plaats voor griezelig, geen plek voor chagrijn. En ja, het kan en plaats daarvan voelt iedereen zich fijn. Het is volstrekt uniek wat je hier allemaal ervaart, De prachtige muziek en geur van versgebakken taart.

De pracht, de praal, ze hebeen het hier allemaal. Ik voelde mij nog nooit zo goed. Die lege plek hier diep in mij die vult zich op met varmte en geluk. Ik wil het ook, ik wil het ook. Nee echt, zoiets dat wil ik ook! Ik heb mezelf nie in de hand, dus zeg me waar ik ben beland! Wat is dit? Translation=Oh, look! Oh, look! It's colored all around! And this, white like a crystal! Oh, look! I can't believe my eyes. Are you dreaming, Jack? Wake up! There's a party here! Oh, look!

Look here, how strange! I don't know what I'm listening to. Oh, look! They're singing here in choir! Oh, look! These little creatures are laughing together, here literally everybody is running around to shine. Or is it the cold that's driving me insane? Oh, look!

Here, they snow at each other instead of skulls. No death and bane, but toys, and no one is being mean. And would you look at these pretty lights, there's so many. And in my bones, I slowly feel a warm feeling.

Oh, look! How cozy! A mistletoe's hanging there! A kiss? Was that my heart I felt breaking? Oh, wow! They sit by the hearth And listen to stories, and they shine. Oh, look!

Oh, look! Look there! I can see a little spruce. Wait, what? Now I'm legit confused. How weird! Why are they powering it all up? Oh, it's for the lights on the tree. Oh, look how beautiful, looks like a dream. I'm finally getting my head around it. Oh, this place is just too crazy. Maybe this is what I really wanted. Oh, look!

Oh, look, so sweet. Tired from all the fun. But look, there's no beasts under the bed. No corpses, no witches or ghosts or boogeymen coming to take or crunch them. No, they wander untroubled to their dreamland. Oh, look!

This is no place for the spooky, there's no room for chagrin. And yes, everyone can feel just fine instead. What everyone experiences here is absolutely unique, The splendid music and the smell of freshly baked cake.

The pomp and splendor they've all got here I had never felt so good. The empty place inside of me is filling up with warmth and joy. I want it, too. I want it, too. No, really, I want something like this, too. I'm losing all control, so just tell me where I ended up! What is this?

Title: Que vois-je ?

Performed by Olivier Constantin

Que vois-je ? Des flocons blancs dans l'air ? Que vois-je ? Je suis sûrement malade Réveille-toi, Jack ! Ce n'est qu'un rêve, une chimère ! Que vois-je ?
 * -|Lyrics=Que vois-je ? Que vois-je ? Du rouge, du bleu, du vert ?

Que vois-je ? Que vois-je ? Je n'en crois pas mes yeux ! Que vois-je ? Ces enfants sont heureux ! Que vois-je ? Dans tous les coins, ces créatures ont le fou rire Bonjour sourires ! Adieu soupirs ! Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que ce délire ? Je déménage ! Que vois-je ?

Au lieu de lancer des corps, ils lancent des boules de neige ! La vie remplace la mort, ils passent leur temps sur des manèges J'en vois de toutes les couleurs, je découvre le soleil ! Et sa chaleur dans mon vieux cœur fait vraiment des merveilles !

Oh, non ! Que vois-je ? Ils s'embrassent sous le gui ! Ils rient ! Mais ces gens sont uniques ! Magiques ! Les voilà rassemblés devant la cheminée Pour lire un conte de fée Que vois-je ?

Que vois-je ? Des nains ? Tout autour d'un sapin ? Tiens, tiens ! Mais qu'est-ce que ça veut dire ? C'est fou ! Ils l'ont couvert de milliers d'ustensiles Des lampes accrochées à des fils, et ils s'amusent tous à la fois ! Je me trompe peut-être, mais je crois que c'est la joie, que c'est la joie Oh, c'est un merveilleux voyage ! Que vois-je ?

Surprise ! Que vois-je ? Des enfants endormis ? Par contre... il n'y a rien sous le lit ! Où sont... les fantômes, les sorcières ? Qui sèment la peur et la terreur ? Il n'y a que ces chers petits qui rêvent à leur maman... Que vois-je ?

Plus de monstres, il n'y a ici ni cauchemars, ni misère ! Et à la place, on dirait que la paix règne sur terre ! Au lieu des cris, j'entends des airs de musique symphonique ! Et l'odeur des gâteaux est absolument fantastique !

La fête m'emporte dans sa grande farandole ! Je plane ! Soudain mon cœur s'affole ! Je vole ! Enfin, ma vie vient de prendre un nouveau visage. Il m'en faut toujours davantage. Je veux tout voir ! Je veux tout savoir, et je veux tout avoir ! Il faut que je sache, il faut que je sache. Comment s'appelle ce village ! Mais... où suis-je ?

(spoken) Tiens, tiens, tiens... Translation=What do I see? What do I see? Red, blue, green? What do I see? White snowflakes in the air? What do I see? I am surely ill. Wake up, Jack! It's only a dream, a chimera! What do I see?

What do I see? What do I see? I can't believe my eyes! What do I see? Those kids are happy! What do I see? In every corner, those creatures are giggling Hello, smiles! Goodbye, sighs! But what's this whole hallucination? I'm moving! What do I see?

Instead of throwing bodies, they're throwing snowballs! Life stands in for death, they're spending their times on roller coasters I'm finally seeing colors, I'm discovering sunshine! And its warmth into my old heart is making real wonders!

Oh no! What do I see? They're kissing under the mistletoe! They're laughing! But these people are unique! Magic! There, they're gathered around the fireplace To read a fairytale What do I see?

What do I see? Dwarves? All around a pine tree? There, there! But what does it mean? It's crazy! They've covered up with thousands of things Lamps holding onto strings, and they're all having fun! I may be mistaken, but I think that this is joy, that this is joy Oh, what a wonderful journey! What do I see?

Surprise! What do I see? Sleeping children? Oh... there's nothing under the bed! Where are... the ghosts, the witches? Who spreads fear and terror? There are only those quiet kids thinking about their moms... What do I see?

No more monsters, there's neither nightmares nor poverty here! And instead, peace is reigning over the Earth! Instead of screams, I'm hearing symphonic music! And the smell of cakes is fantastic!

The party is taking me away in its big farandole! I'm soaring! Suddenly, my heart is panicking! I'm flying! At last, my life is turning a corner. I still need more. I want to see everything! I want to know everything, and I want to have everything! I must know, I must know. What is the name of this village! But... where am I?

(Spoken) Well, well, well...

Title: Για δες (Gia des)

Performed by Konstantínos Staurídis/Κωνσταντίνος Σταυρίδης

Για δες, για δες! Τι χρώματα πολλά Για δες! Και τούτα τα λευκά Για δες! Νομίζω ονειρεύομαι, κοιμάμαι Ξύπνα Τζακ τι είναι όλα αυτά? Για δες!
 * -|Lyrics=

Για δες, για δες! Μα κάτι πάει στραβά Για δες! Ο κόσμος τραγουδά Για δες! Οι δρόμοι είναι γεμάτοι τερατάκια Που γελάνε ευτυχισμένα μήπως τα χω εγώ χαμένα Τι είναι αυτά? Για δες!

Χιονόμπαλες πετάνε και παίζουνε Αντί να κοπανιούνται με τις νεκροκεφαλές Τα πάντα στολισμένα, μα γιατί να πάρει η ευχή; Τα κόκαλα μου βγάζουνε μια αίσθηση ζέστη

Αμάν, για δες! Είναι όλοι φιλικοί Φιλί! Στιγμή μοναδική Φριχτό! Και γύρω από το τζάκι Λένε κάποια παραμυθιά στα παιδιά Για δες!

Για δες! Για δες το έλατο αυτό Κουφό! Το βάλαν μέσα εδώ Γιατί του κρέμασαν λαμπάκια σε σειρές, και δυο γιρλάντες λαμπερές Μα έχουν φάτσες γελαστές, και διασκεδάζουν όλοι δες Μήπως αυτό θα πει χαρά Μα και το βρήκα τελικά Για δες!

Για δες, για δες! Κοιμούνται και θαρρείς Και εδώ δεν κρύβετε κανείς Χωρίς βρυκόλακες και λύκους να τρομάζουν τα παιδάκια Που κοιμούνται και ονειρεύονται γλυκά Για δες!

Τα τέρατα όλα λείπουν και οι εφιάλτες περιττοί Αντί γι'αυτά υπάρχει μια διάθεση καλή Κραυγές πια δεν άκουω, μόνο θεία μουσική Και η μυρωδιές απ'τα γλυκά τρελαίνουν την οσμή

Ηχούν παντού τα γέλια και οι χαρές Και εγώ το χαίρομαι όμως δες, μα πως; Εδώ πια δεν υπάρχουν τέρατα. Η αγάπη ελευθερώθηκε. Τα θέλω πέρα για πέρα δικά μου μια ζωή Πρέπει να μάθω στη στιγμή και με το μέρος που έχω βρει Τι είναι αυτό;

Come and see, come and see! So many colors! Come and see! And those whites! Come and see! I think that I am dreaming, I am sleeping Wake up, Jack, what are all these? Come and see!
 * -| Translation=

Come and see, come and see! But something's wrong! Come and see! Everyone is singing! Come and see! The streets are full of happy little monsters That are laughing and maybe I am losing my mind What are these? Come and see!

They are throwing snowballs and they are playing Instead of throwing with skulls Everything is decorated, but for God's sake, why? Are my bones feeling a warm feeling?

Oh boy, come and see! They are all friendly! Kiss! A unique moment! Terrible! And they're telling fairytales to children All around the fireplace. Come and see!

Come and see! Come and see that fir Crazy! They put it in here Why did they hang on me lamps and two bright garlands? But they have smiley faces, and all of them are having fun, look! Maybe that's what they call joy But I finally found it Come and see!

Come and see, come and see! They are sleeping and you think That nobody is hiding here Without vampires and werewolves to scare the sleeping children Who are dreaming sweet dreams Come and see!

The monsters are gone and the nightmares are unnecessary Instead of that, there is a good mood I don't hear screams anymore, only a divine music And the smell of the sweets drive the scent crazy

Laughs and joy are echoing everywhere But I am also enjoying it, look, but how? There aren't any monsters here anymore. Love is set free. I want them to be mine for a lifetime I've got to know right now, and the place that I found, What is it?

Title: Cos'è?

Performed by Renato Zero

Cos'è quel bianco intorno a me? Cos'è? Io non l'ho visto mai, starò sognando. In guardia, Jack! Ma cos'è? Cos'è?
 * -|Lyrics=Cos'è? Cos'è? Ma che colore è?

Cos'è? Cos'è? Qualcosa qui non va. Cos'è? C'è musica in città. Cos'è? Le strade sono piene di persone Che sorridono felici. Sono pazzi oppure amici? Ma cos'è? Cos'è?

Bambini nella neve che giocano, così Nessuno è solo, e poi non c'è mai tristezza qui. E brilla ogni finestra, oh, non so che cosa sia Quel piccolo calore mai provato in vita mia.

Oh no! Cos'è quel vischio appeso lì? E sì, si baciano così. E poi le storie intorno al fuoco Le castagne, qualche gioco. Come mai? Cos'è?

Cos'è? Follia! Quell'alberello che sta lì, Io non so più perché. Perché lo coprono di luci colorate E poi di stelle ritagliate di sorrisi ed allegria? Io non capisco cosa sia. Mi sembra gioia, sembra gioia. Forse il sogno è già realtà? Chissà?

Oddio, che c'è? Quaggiù si dorme già. Perché di monstri non ce n'è? No, no. Né streghe né fantasmi. Niente notti di paure! I bimbi dormono sicuri nei lettini. Cos'è?

I monstri non ci sono e gli incubi mai più, E tutto sembra bello come un cielo sempre blu. Io sento il dolce suono di canzoni intorno a me. Profumi di biscotti, odore di felicità.

È qui! È qui! Il posto dove io Vorrei restare per magia. Vorrei scaldarmi il cuore e ridere, e vivere. Adesso voglio vivere. Io voglio, sì, lo voglio, sì, lo voglio, e lo farò! Io lo saprò, io lo saprò se questo posto è vero o no. Che cos'è? Translation=What is it? What is it? What color is this? What's this white around me? What is it? I've never seen it before, I'm probably dreaming. Watch out, Jack! But what is it? What is it?

What is it? What is it? Something here is wrong. What is it? There's music in town. What is it? The streets are crowded with people Happily smiling. Are they crazy or maybe friends? But what is it? What is it?

Children are playing in the snow so that Nobody is alone, and then there's never sadness here. And every window shines, oh, I don't know what it may be, This little warmth I've never felt before.

Oh no! What's that mistletoe hanging there? And yes, they're kissing like this. And then, the tales around the fire, Chestnuts, some games. Why is it? What is it?

What is it? Madness! That little tree standing there I no longer know why. Why do they cover it with colored lights And then with paper stars with smiles and cheerfulness? I don't understand what it may be. This seems to be joy, it seems to be joy. Maybe my dream is already real. Who knows?

Oh my, what's up? Here, they're already sleeping. Why are there no monsters here? No, no. No witches or ghosts. No fearful nights! Kids sleep safely in their little beds. What is it?

No monsters here, and nightmares will never come back, And everything looks wonderful, like a sky always clear. I hear the gentle sound of songs around me. Fragrance of biscuits, happiness scent.

Here it is! Here is the place where I Wish I could stay by magic. I wish I could warm my heart and laugh and live. Now I want to live. I want it, yes, I want it, yes I want it, and I will! I'll find out, I'll find out if this place is real or not. What is it?

おや まあ！何と！子供がいる でも見ろ！何もいない 悪魔も 魔女もいない 誰もここには小さな寝息で夢の中だ 何故!?

お化けはいないし 悪夢も見ない なんだか素敵だな 町中が 悲鳴の代わりに歌が聞こえ お菓子を焼く香りただよって

What's this!? No way! Incredible! Why? They're singing!? What!? The town is full of laughter. I want to somehow try it! How!?

They're throwing snow, not heads There are people that live by making toys From frost-covered windows The warmth of love seeps out

Oh, look, what's that? It's mistletoe! A kiss! So unique! Wow! What story is it? Chestnuts pop in the fire Why!?

What? That's a little tree. They're changing it! That's the first time I've seen it Why? It's decorated with strings of little lights! That looks like fun! Could I be wrong? It's wonderful! It's wonderful! My wish has been granted! How!?

Oh my, look! What! There are children But look! There's nothing here No monsters nor witches here Everyone sleeping with quiet breaths in the midst of dreaming How!?

There are no ghosts, no nightmares to be had What is this wonderful town Where you can hear singing instead of screams And the smell of sweets fills the air?

How!? This is the first time Everything is beautiful Listen! My empty heart has been filled up. I've realized that I want it! I want it! This is mine! Teach me, little town I've found, What is this!?

Title: 여긴 어딜까? (Yeogin eodilkka?)

Performed by Nam Gyeong-ju/남경주

뭐지? 뭘까? 저 화려한 색깔 뭘까? 이 하얀 가루가 뭘까? 내 눈을 믿을 수가 없어 꿈일 거야, 깨어나라 잭 뭐지?
 * -|Lyrics=

뭐지? 뭘까? 뭐 잘못된 거야 뭐지? 다들 노래를 하네 뭐지? 거리엔 온통 웃음 가득 꼬마 친구들이 아주 행복해 보여. 모두 미친 걸까 궁금해 뭘까?

머리를 안 던지고 눈덩이를 던지네 장난감 갖고 노는데 그 누구도 안 죽네 창문에 김이 서려, 오 잘못 본 거겠지 내 뼛속 깊이 따뜻한 그 뭔가 느껴지네

오 저건 뭘까? 나뭇가지 아래서 뽀뽀를? 참 별난 일이네! 신기하군! 벽난롯가에 옹기종기 모여 앉아 이야기 듣잖아 뭘까?

뭐지? 집 안에 나무가 있다니 이상해, 누구 생각일까? 또 왜 작은 장식을 매달고서 전구에 불을 켜놓고 모두 활짝 웃는 것일까? 내가 틀렸는지 몰라도 재미있어 보이잖아 오 소원 이루어졌나 봐 뭐지?

오 이런, 또 뭐야? 애들이 잠자네 하지만 이 침대 밑에는 없어 유령도 없고 놀래켜 줄 마녀도 없어 근심 걱정 모두 잊고 꿈나라로 가있네 뭐지?

괴물들은 사라졌고 이젠 악몽도 없어 어디를 봐도 하나같이 평온한 모습 요란한 비명 사라지고 음악이 들리네 고소한 쿠키 파이 냄새 온 세상 가득

이런 모습들 어디나 있지만 이제껏 본 적이 없다네 텅 빈 내 가슴속의 허전했던 공간을, 한없이 가득 채우네 난 갖고파, 난 알고파, 난 너무나도 알고 싶어 내가 있는 이 세상이 어떤 곳인지? 여긴 어딜까?

What? What is it? What's wrong? What? Everyone is singing! What? The streets are full of laughter. The little guys look very happy. I wonder if everyone is crazy. What is it?

You don't throw your head, you throw snowballs I play with toys, and no one dies. The windows are fogged up, oh, you must have looked wrong. I feel something warm deep in my bones

Oh, what is that? A kiss under a tree branch? What a strange thing Amazing! Sitting huddled around the fireplace You hear the story What is it?

What? There is a tree inside the house. Strange, whose idea was this? Also, why are you hanging small decorations? Is the light bulb on and everyone smiling brightly? Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks fun Oh, I guess my wish has come true! What is it?

Oh my, what else? The kids are sleeping But not under this bed, No ghosts, no witches to scare you Forget all your worries and go to dreamland What?

The monsters are gone, and there are no more nightmares No matter where you look, everyone looks peaceful. The loud scream disappears, and I can hear the music. The world is filled with the delicious smell of cookie pie

Things like this are everywhere I've never seen it before The empty space in my empty heart, it fills me up endlessly I want it, I want to know, I want to know so badly What kind of place is this world I'm in? Where is this place?

Title: Hva er det?

The film itself currently does not have an official Norwegian dub. The Norwegian-dubbed version of this song was produced for inclusion in a sing-a-long released on a special VHS edition of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Hva er det? Det er like hvitt som salt. Hva er det? Jeg skjønner ingenting. Jeg tror jeg drømmer. Våkn oop, Jack, hold hodet kaldt! Hva er det?
 * -|Lyrics=Hva er det? Hva er det? Det er fager overalt.

Hva er det? Hva er det? Det er rare ting på gang. Hva er det? Jeg syns jeg hører sang. Hva er det? Det vrimler overalt av folk som smiler. Alle sammen flyr som piler, er det bare jeg som tviler? Hva er det? Hva er det?

Og barna kaster snøball, de sier ikke bø. De står bak hver sin borg, men ingen av dem virker død. D'er lys i hvert et vindu, det er ikke til å tro. Og i skjelettet føler jeg en varme som er god.

Å se! Nå nyss! De hang opp misteltein. Et kyss, der under løvets hegn. Nå har de satt seg for å høre en fortelling Som blir lest av bestefar. Hva er det?

Hva er det?! D'er klart, de har et lite tre. Så rart, en underlig ide. Og snart så dekker de det med fargerike ting Det får elektrisk lys omkring og det er latter overalt. Så si i fra hvis det er galt. Det virker gøy, det virker gøy! Å kan mitt ønske bli oppfylt? Hva er det?

Å nei, se her! Her sover alle søtt. Men se, her finnes ikke spøtt av kre, Og hekser som kan stjeler fra dem eller ta dem. Bare sånne søte små som seiler rundt i drømme. Hva er det?

Jo, monstrene de mangler, marerittene er malt. I stedet, er det som det er en glede overalt. D'er ingen skrik å høre, kun vidunderlig musikk. Og deilig duft av kaker fra hver eneste butikk.

De syn, jeg ser, de overvelder meg Og mer, jeg står og gleder meg og ler. Det tomme rommet inn i meg det fylles opp. Jeg klarer ikke å si stopp. Jeg vil det, jeg vil ha det, jeg vil ha det for meg selv! Så jeg får se, så jeg får se hvorfor alt dette gjør suksess! Hva er det? Translation=What's this? What's this? There are colors all around. What's this? It's white like salt. What's this? I don't understand anything. I think I'm dreaming. Wake up, Jack! Keep your cool! What's this?

What's this? What's this? Strange things are happening. What's this? I think I can hear singing. What's this? All the streets are swarming with smiling people. They're all flying around together like arrows, is it just me who's having doubts? What's this? What's this?

And the kids are throwing snowballs, they're not screaming "Boo" Each of them holds their castle, but not a single one seems to be dead. There are lights on every window, it's unbelievable And in my skeleton, I can feel such a good warmth.

Oh, look! Right now! They hung up a mistletoe. A kiss, there sheltered by the leaves Now they're sitting down to listen To a tale Grandpa is reading. What's this?

What's this? Of course! They've got a little tree. How weird, what a strange idea. And soon, they'll cover it in colorful things With electric lights all around it, and there's laughter everywhere. So, tell me if I'm wrong. This looks like fun, this looks like fun! Oh, could my dream come true? What's this?

Oh no, look here! Everyone's sleeping so sweetly here. But look, there's no trace of any creatures Or witches who can steal from them or take them, Only these little sweet ones sailing around in their dreams. What's this?

Yeah, the monsters are missing, the nightmares were turned to dust. And instead, it feels like there's joy everywhere. No screams to be heard, only wonderful music, And a marvelous scent coming from cakes in every shop.

The sights I'm seeing are overwhelming me. And also, I'm having the time of my life, with a smile. The empty place inside of me is filling up, I just can't get myself to stop. I want it, I want it, I want it for myself! So let me see, so let me see what's making this all so effective. What is this?

Title: Ojej!

Performed by Wojciech Paszkowski

Ojej! I białe leci z chumur! Ojej! Niewiarygodna rzecz, ja chyba śnię Jack obudź się, inaczej w dziób! Ojej!
 * -|Lyrics=Ojej! Ojej! Jak kolorowo tu!

Ojej! Ojej! To niepokoi mnie Ojej! Bo wszędzie słyszę śpiew Ojej! Radości moc i śmiech do koła Dźwięczy świat, tak jakby był weselszy! Czy też oni są szurnięci… Co to jest... Ojej!

Dzieciaki pigułami się rzucają zamiast głów, A życie to w nich kipi; żeby chociaż jeden trup... Na szybach mroźne kwiaty – och, niewiarygodna rzecz – I czuję, ze ogarnia mnie nieznany ciepły dreszcz!

Ojej! A to? Jemiołę mają tu! I cmok – a ja wpatruję się I drżę. Siadają wszyscy razem, pieką ciasta I gawędy snują swe. Ojej!

Ojej! Tu znów choinkę mają i To cud! Od samej ziemi aż Po czub wieszają coś, już nie wiem sam. I wszystko jarzy się od lamp. Radosne twarze widzę w krąg. Czy ja się mylę? Ależ skąd. Szczęśliwi są, szczęśliwi są! Och, czyżby ziścił się mój sen? Ojej!

No no. A tu? Dziecina słodko śpi. I spójrz – pod łóżkiem nie ma nic. Ni głów, ni ślepiów węży, i nie wrzeszczy nic, nie trzeszczy! Ot, maleństwa otulone, pogrążone we śnie… Ojej!

Potworów na lekarstwo, nie ma żadnych groźnych zjaw, I choć na dworze zimno serca grzeje słodki żar. Ze wszystkich chyba stron dobiega mnie czarowny ton I pachną ciasta pięknie i do siebie wszyscy lgną!

Ten blask, ten śpiew, to ciepło kusi mnie Bo chcę na wieki zostać tu Bo coś wypełnia we mnie tę nieznośną pustkę, której już tak strasznie miałem dość! Ja bardzo chcę, ja bardzo chcę, ja chcę dowiedzieć się Czy taki śmiech i taki śpiew może być dany także mnie! Co to jest? Translation=Oh my! Oh my! How colorful is this place! Oh my! And white is falling from the clouds! Oh my! An incredible thing, I think I'm dreaming Jack, wake up, otherwise I'll slap you! Oh my!

Oh my! Oh my! This makes me uneasy Oh my! Because I hear singing everywhere Oh my! Lots of joy and laughter all around The world sounds as if it was more merry! Or are they crazy… What is it... Oh my!

Children are throwing snowballs instead of heads, And life even boils in them; I wish there was one corpse at least... On the windows sit frosty flowers – oh, that's incredible – And I feel a warm shiver overwhelm me that I don't know!

Oh my! And this? A mistletoe they have here! And smooch – and I'm staring And shivering. They all sit together, bake cakes And tell their tales. Oh my!

Oh my! Here they have a Christmas tree, as well, and A miracle! From the very ground up until The tip they are hanging something, I don't know myself anymore. And everything glows with lamps. Merry faces I see around. Am I mistaken? Oh, not at all. Merry they are, merry they are! Oh, did my dream come true? Oh my!

Well well. And here? A baby's sleeping sound. And look - nothing under the bed. No heads, no snake eyes, nothing screams, nor crackles! Just babies tucked up, deep in their dream... Oh my!

Hardly any monsters, no dangerous apparitions, And though it's cold outside, the hearts are warmed by a sweet glow. And from every direction, I think an enchanting tone reaches my ears And cakes smell wonderful and everybody adheres to one another!

This glow, this singing, this warmth tempts me For I want to stay here forever For something has filled up this unbearable void in me that I was so, so fed up with! I want it so, I want it so, I need to know If such laughter and such singing can be given unto me as well! What is it?

Performed by Aleksey Kortnev/Алексей Кортнев

Смотри! Смотри! Кругом белым-бело. Гляди, как ясно и светло. Смотри! Ты бредишь, Джек очнись. Все это снится. Землю снегом замело… Проснись!
 * -|Lyrics=

Смотри! Смотри! Какой занятный люд. Гляди! Смеются и поют. Смотри! Похоже здесь все чудно, Все прекрасно. Тут какой то вечный праздник… Джек ты тронулся! Все ясно – это сон! Проснись!

Здесь детям страх не ведам. И каждый здесь живой! Снежки играют – снегом, а не мертвой головой. И лампочки мигают, и в домиках светло! Как будто, тело наполняет странное тепло…

Ого! Смотри! Вот на двери венок. Внутри, друг друга в щеку чмок. Протри, глаза. И посмотри Как у огня, встречает праздник вся родня. Смотри!

Замри! Смотри! Тут деревце стоит Внутри. Зачем?! Пойди пойми! Они! Они включают на шнурке огни Горят глаза у ребятни, от этой радостной возни Весь дом сверкает и звенит. Вот это да! Вот это да! Сбываются мечты мои. Смотри!

Смотри! А здесь спят все до одного! Ого! Не видно ни кого, Из тех, кто мог бы напугать их? Приведений в белых платьях Все тут дышит благодатью… это счастье! Смотри!

Не призраков, не монстров. Не страхов и тревог. Идиллия такая - прямо райский уголок! Здесь все легко и просто, кто летает, кто пешком. И так щекочет ноздри запах свежих пирожков.

Полет! Улет! Огней круговорот! Живет здесь праздник круглый год. Какой, чудесный поворот. Он от тоски меня спасет, Уверен я, сюда не зря вела меня судьба моя, ну где же я? Не знаю я, названия, что за волшебные края… Где же я?!

Oh! Look! There's a wreath on the door. Indoors, they kiss each other on the cheek. I rub my eyes and look again By the fire, the relatives gather for the holiday/ Look!

Stop! Look! A tree is standing here Inside. Why?! I don't understand! Them! They switch on a string of lights My eyes light up at the children's cheerful fuss The whole house shines and rings. Amazing! Amazing! My dreams are coming true. Look!

Look! And here, all of them are asleep! Oh! I can't see anyone Who could frighten them? No ghosts dressed in white Everything here is full of grace... this is bliss! Look!

No ghosts, no monsters. No fears or alarms. It's such an idyllic paradise! Everything here is easy and simple which flies, which walks. And my nostrils are tickled by the scent of fresh pies.

I'm flying! I'm delighted! The lights circle! A holiday stays here through the whole year. What a marvelous turn of events. This will rescue me from my melancholy, I'm certain fate led me here for a reason, but where am I? I don't know the name of this magical land... Where am I?!

Title: Kde som?

Performed by Ján Gallovič

Kde som? Chcem poznať tento svet. Kto si? Som z toho celý preč. Ja neviem kde som, tak to musúm nájsť vo me. Kde som? Kde som? Kde som? Kto mi to ohlási? Kde som? Tu nekto spieva si. Kde som? Veď je tu plná tvornov, čo sma smejú Chodia sami, chodia v pare Všetci majú šťastie na tvári Kde to som? Kde som? Tu deti hádžu gule. Nie hlavy, veru nie. Tu nikto nie je mŕtvy, ani nikto neumrie. V náš oknách kreslí kvety, ja ochom neverím A duša sa mi zohriať (...) počnem s tym Kde som? Čo s tým? Čo uvidel môj zrak? Snad bozk? Už áno je to tak Viac hej! Tu pekne si sadli vstetci k teplej peci O hej, chorí v nej. Kde som? Kto vie kde som? Tu majú malý strom Čo s ním? To vážne je tušim Čo s ním? A dávajú rén svetlá A ja gaveno prečo to nikto nepovie a každý šťastný úsmev má. Ja neviem, čo to znamená. No je to krásne, vravím vam Šťasný v žiane každý dom Kde som? Kde som? Kde som? Tu deti ležiaci. Ala! Tu nikto nestraší. Tu nie zlých príšerý, ktoré strašia deti Všetkým deťom dobré svetlo svieti, noi ich tichých sladkých sničkov Kde som? Strašidlá tu nie sú, z vyšli s okien dverí striech A tam kde bude vladné, dobra nálada a smiech A mesto vresku počuje len krásnu hudbu hrať Vôňa už dokola čaka vie čo vam tak rád Môj zrak! Môj sluch! Sam neviem nabažiť Som tam kde príjemné je žiť Už viem že v mojej prázdnej duši niečo krásne mám. Už nie som sám. Ja nie som sám! Ja chcem tú krásu mať! Ja chcem už mať! Ja chcem už mať! Nech padá dážď, nech bije hrom. Ja vedieť chcem, ke vlastne som. Kde to som? (spoken) Vianočné Mesto? Translation=Where am I? Where am I? Hello, cold snow. Where am I? I want to know this world. Who are you? It's all for nothing. I don't know where I am, so I have to find myself. Where am I?
 * -|Lyrics=Kde som? Kde som? Ahoj, ten chladný ľad.

Where am I? Where am I? Who will make me aware of this? Where am I? Someone is singing here. Where am I? After all, it's full of creatures, they laugh They walk alone, they walk together Everyone has luck on their faces Where am I? Where am I?

Kids throw balls here. No heads, I don't believe it. Nobody here is dead, nor is anybody who dies. Flowers are painted in the windows, I can believe my eyes And my soul warms up (...) I'll start with that

Where am I? What about that? What am I seeing here? Maybe a kiss? Yes, that's right. But hey! Everyone sat down by the warm fireplace Oh hey, this is too much. Where am I?

Who knows where I am? They have a small tree here. What's with that? I really know that. What's with that? They turn on the light. I believe that no one says anything and everyone is happy to smile. I don't know what that means. Well, it's beautiful, I tell you. Every house shines happily. Where am I?

Where am I? Where am I? Here the children are lying. Aha! Nobody scares here. There are no evil monsters to scare children Good light shines for all children, but also for their quiet, sweet dreams. Where am I?

There are no ghosts here; they went out through the skylights. And where there is order, there will be a good mood and laughter. And the city of screams only hears beautiful music to play There is a smell around us that always makes us so happy

What I see! What I hear! I can't get enough of myself. I'm there where it's pleasant to live I already know that I have something beautiful in my empty soul. I'm no longer alone. I'm not alone! I want that beauty! I want to have it already! I want to have it already! Let the rain fall, let the thunder beat. I want to know where I really am. Where am I?

Title: Vad nu?

The film itself currently does not have an official Swedish dub. The Swedish-dubbed version of this song was produced for inclusion in a sing-a-long released on a special VHS edition of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Vad nu? Jag ser något vitt och kallt. Vad nu? Det är nog fantasi. Jag kanske drömmer. Vakna, stanna, stopp och halt! Vad nu?
 * -|Lyrics=Vad nu? Vad nu? Ser färger överallt.

Vad nu? Vad nu? Något galer är på gång. Vad nu? De sjunger på en sång. Vad nu? Här gång de runt på gatorna i staden, Går i långa, glada rader. Har jag möjligen fått spader? Vad står på? Vad nu?

Se barn som kastar snöboll och varje kind är röd. De leker och har kul och inte en kan kallas "död". Är frost på alla fönster, åh, vad händer med mig, säg? Jag känner värme någonstans, den kommer ifrån mig.

Åhå! Se på! En mistel ovanför. En kyss! Jag ser nog vad de gör. Förstår! En saga läser säkert gammelfaster. Jag kan höra brasans knaster. Vad nu?

Vad nu? Här har de ställt en liten gran. Så fin! Men varför togs den in? Och se! De hänger i små saker på var gren Och snören med små ljus runt den, och alla ler och mår så bra, Och samma känsla känner jag! Jag är så glad, jag är så glad! Nu vill jag önksa mig någonting. Vad nu?

Hör på, se upp, men barnen sover där. En titt, finns ingenting de tär. Här borde faktiskt alla spöken skämmas, inte skrämmas. Se så mysigt de kan ha där borta i sitt drömland. Vad nu?

Här finns det inga monster, inga mardrömmar på lur. Här finns istället känslor som ger värme, eller hur? Och inga skrik, istället hörs musik i varje vrå, Och överallt känss ljuvlig doft av mat som de ska få.

Jag hör! Jag ser! Jag känner det till slut. Har aldrig mått så bra förut, och nu Först känner jag hur värmen runt oss sprider sig, det känns så bra här inom mig. Vill ha det! Åh, vill hat det! Jag vill ha det för mig själv! Vad är det här? Vad är det här? Vart har jag hamnat nu ikväll? Var är jag? Translation=What now? What now? I can see colors everywhere. What now? I see something white and cold. What now? It's just a flight of fancy. I might be dreaming. Wake up, hold up, stop and halt! What now?

What now? What now? Something crazy is going on. What now? They're singing a song. What now? Here, they walk about the streets in town Walking in long, merry lines. Have I possibly gone 'round the bend? What's going on? What now?

Look at the kids throwing snowballs, and every cheek is red. They play and have fun, and not a single one can be called "dead". There's frost on every window, oh, tell me what's with me. I can feel warmth somewhere, it's coming from me.

Oh my! Look there! A mistletoe above. A kiss! I can see what they're doing. I understand! Great aunt is surely reading some tale. I can hear the crackling of fire. What now?

What now? Here, they've placed a small spruce. So nice! But why take it in? And look! They're hanging small stuff on every branch And a string with small lights all around it, and everyone is smiling and enjoying themselves, And I can feel that same feeling. I am so happy! I am so happy! Now I want to wish for something. What now?

Listen up, look out, but the kids are sleeping there. Just a look, nothing they should worry about. In fact, here, every ghost should be ashamed, instead of scaring. Look how cozy they can feel far away in their dreamland. What now?

There are no monsters here, no nightmares are lurking. There are instead feelings bringing warmth, aren't there? And no shrieks, music resounds in every corner instead. And everywhere, there's a delicious smell coming from the food that they'll have.

I hear it! I see it! I can finally feel it! I've never felt so good before, and now, For the first time, I can feel the warmth around us spreading, I'm feeling just so good inside. I want it! Oh, I want it! I want it all for myself! What's this? What's this? Where have I ended up tonight? Where am I?
