One Band of Robbers | Miyazaki's Ronja | 50' Compilation

As days, it's all becoming clearer to me The seasons change, as I change with them And the cold of spring Gives me strength and courage to know I will make it through Whatever life throws at me Summer's sweet scent, autumn's whisper Winter stings with the cold When trouble comes rolling in like thunder Spring in my heart When seasons change, I'll change with them And I know I can weather the storm Pelia, you're coming home! As the conflict with the sheriff's soldiers intensify Noddle Pete suggested that Mattis and Borka Reconcile their differences and unite their clans As one band of robbers Then, they might stand a chance But a strong band calls for a strong chief Mattis and Borka would have to settle in a wild beast's match Who would become that chief? It's not fair! I want to see what's happening! You're taking a rest? Already tired? Well, that was easy What did you say? Something about feeling tired? Or needing a rest? When we were boys, you always did need a nap Fine, I can wait You wanted me to let go? No! That's it! Wake Mattis! Come on! Get him! Get him back! Don't get pulled out of the storm, Mattis! Get up and fight! Come on, chief! Mattis, you really shouldn't brag Put your arm down The punches I can take But that smell... That smell is unbearable There's your chance! Squeeze him! Squeeze him! Just squeeze him! Yeah! Squeeze him hard! Hard! No sign of them today I know. We haven't been robbed for ages That's unfortunate Give us your treasure What's going on? Maybe it's them They're monsters! Monsters! You're the monster? Stop it! Be quiet! Silence those instruments You're drawing too much attention Also, you're quite annoying How dare you! Laughter and music are relaxing You are both totally unsophisticated Perhaps. But can't you hear? The robbers sound absolutely savage Oh, listen They certainly don't sound human For your own safety, you should all turn back This path is too dangerous That's what we think of you That's the last straw! Wait! Wait! Stop that! Stop that! Back off! Back off! I told you this isn't your fight Savages! Yes! But you could be second-in-command of those savages If you just admit defeat, you dirty devil In the meantime, I'll just keep squeezing the fat out of you Why don't you just admit that I'm stronger? You can't win! Do this to you now What? But I'm going to teach you a lesson It's not possible for you to be any uglier Than you already are This won't recognize you When I finish with your face Whose turn is it to be ugly? Must be kidding me! There's no point staying on guard duty Not with all of this going on Mathias! I'll be right there You should give up That's what I was going to say A cheap trick You know this? As if I'd fall for that You don't know who you're dealing with No one in this forest is more stubborn than me You're tired already Or maybe you forgot I'm chief Over my dead body Is he alive? All well, brother mine Now listen Because I'm a fair man I'm keeping my word As we agreed, your men are welcome to stay on And you shall keep your title as a robber chief But now I lead you all And my word counts for more than balkers So remember I am Mathias The mightiest chieftain The mightiest chieftain in all the mountains and all the woods You and I are brothers now And we'll put this fight behind us What do you say? You know what? Would you like a drink? Rock me to death! Do you remember the pigsty? Chasing rats all over the place Yes Yes, it was my job to chase the rats out Then I would get a bucket upturned like this And then I would go like this We got him Now for the good news Today you suffered a loss But ultimately Your clan will be the real winners One day when you and I are no longer around Your son will be chief of both our clans Ronya has said She doesn't want to be a robber Once her mind is made up There's no changing it So now you know You've won, old friend I... I can't believe Do you honestly think Pirk wants to be a robber chieftain? Like you two? Well, he does Of course Barker! I now make this oath That I, Birk Barkerson Will never become a robber I know It's hard to get used to the idea But now You're gonna have to as well You can't do anything with children these days They do as they like We just have to get used to it I know it's hard to take But that's just the way it is Our children won't do as we ask them But we should carry on Enjoy our cheerful robber lives Yes, you're right It's lovely Not to have to sit up there with the menfolk Peace and quiet Not to mention the smell There you go I'm proud of you, Rony You know, a robber's life Is not as much fun as it once was There's no life for you and Birk It used to be fun But now it's tougher The soldiers are laying here before you know it I couldn't bear to think of what might happen to you and Birk You're good kids You shouldn't be out there robbing anyone Yes, it's awful I wouldn't want anyone to steal from me So why would I do that to anyone else? Ronya I've got a secret I've been waiting to tell Now listen very carefully I'll tell you You might need this one day Don't you care I'm in pain? I'm aching Every single part of me My only hope is that Borker is hurting even worse than I am What do you say? Oh, you big baby, you'll feel better in the morning And so, the two long-feuding clans Were now united as one strong band of robbers When the Wild Beasts' match was over Mattis prevailed as chief of both robber clans Borker then found out that his son Birk, like Ronya Had no intention of ever becoming a robber The two chieftains decided that they, at least Would continue to enjoy their splendid robber's life Old people have no business freezing themselves at Wild Beasts' matches I did tell you not to go And I ignored you because it's boring here They were doing all the fighting All I did was sit there Eh? Anyway, it's time you used those big ears of yours To listen to how I'm getting on with my new robber life Borker's doing a good job He isn't too loudmouthed In fact, he has his wits about him Enough to please me And you know how hard that is So now the two of us work together Which means we bring back double the loot Oh, we've been fooling all the sheriff's men It's a joy to see And soon Mattis' forest will be free of all those pesky soldiers Always save the bragging for when you're riding back home, eh? But you are home and going nowhere Noddle Pete! Ta-da! Take this on yourself It'll drive the chill away Oh, my dear, you look finer than the Count himself Hey, you're looking snug there Not often that you find yourself... Put that thing down! The best find of the day All of you better tidy the place up before dinner I'll blast you straight into Hell's Gap Give me that! Don't squeeze so... Is that your knee? Ah, Mattis, you're so kind to share my bed At last I can feel the chill melting away Your body is as warm as glowing embers Finally, I'll get a good night's rest Don't you ever cut your toenails! You're a rump I'll clean to a best stomach I need a bit more space There, look So the earthworms and even the snakes have gone underground Not to mention the goblin folk They've disappeared somewhere too Ah, the ancient forest You never know when it'll finally decide to drag you down under its leaves What if I helped? I'll wake up every small bug sleeping in the earth And I'll drag them up myself I'll do whatever it takes We're home! Freezing! Freezing! Chill to the bone with this autumn rain What's this? You lecturing the two kids, old man? A little snake and a little harpy Whatever the old man says he's preaching to deaf ears Come on children, what about us then? I've got far better stories than the old man does All you have to do is ask Why would I ask about smelly dirty devil robbers? Enough! Go home back to your nest little snake I'm sure your own father's waiting, smelling just as bad as us Ah yes, this is how I wanted it Now I can happily wait Old man, what are you waiting for? Well, what do you think? I've never seen him like this He just seems so tired I wonder what it is It's his old age Well, he's old but he won't die, will he? Yes, he will What was that? No, you can't say that! Don't say that! It's done, you decide a lot of things But, Mattis, you can't decide on this, can you? Is it here? Mattis Perfect name for a chieftain A robber chieftain Time passed Noddle Pete grew weaker and weaker Noddle Pete? He spent most of his days lying in bed His eyes closed He can't be gone! Hey, hey, keep it down Don't you think I have enough manners to say goodbye before I leave this place? It's time My good, good friends I shall take leave of you all Farewell This man has always been by my side And now he's not Has always Been here He's not He's always been here But now He's not Mattis No one can always be there We all move on We're born and we die That's it It's always been like that What are you so upset about? Matt I miss him I miss him so much It breaks my heart I know you're hurting Let me hold you You might as well You too, Ronya You too Ronya Help me in my grief I need you here to comfort me Spring's not far away I can almost tell And you'll feel better soon And Noddle-P No He won't see spring again Winter passed And spring came As it always did No matter who lived or died Mattis Slowly began to cheer up As he did Every spring I know what you mean I always thought I'd grow up to be a robber And then one day I finally worked out what it actually meant Oh well, don't forget I took an oath I do wonder though Without doing any robbing What are we going to live on, you and I? Don't worry That's easy I think I know a way Listen When I was young I spent my time in the woods Just like you I happened one day To save the life of a little grey dwarf Who was being attacked by a harpy This little fellow was ever so grateful That he showed me a cave And it was filled to the brim With shiny silver You will find this place But only when the time comes It's out there waiting Waiting for you, my little pride and joy Yes I'll find it I'm sure I will It's out there He told me I know it's not some sort of fairy tale Noddle Pete swore it was true Sometime soon We should get our horses and ride up there And have a look around Because I think I know where it is There's no hurry for that Anyway Let's try and make sure we keep it just between us A secret Just imagine all the robbers Trying to get their hands on all that silver I knew it You're as wise as Noddle Pete That's exactly why I didn't want to tell this secret to anyone else but you Besides We'll be alright We can get by without needing any silver Right, sister mine? Mm-hmm It's getting warmer We've plenty to do Like gather things for the bear's cave If Mattis hears that we're planning to move there again I wonder what he'll say Here, check this out Oh, nice Look at that here That's probably worth a fortune Oh, you again After Ronya Actually You're the one I'm here to see Hmm I remember the old bear's cave Yeah Oh, when I was your age I was in and out of there all the time It's a fine place No better place to live at this time of year Ah? Don't you think so, Lovis? You can go, of course Your father and I both agree It'll be quieter with you both gone You'll be missed You'd better return Together Before winter And I'm sure you will Yes, we will Just like we did last year Right? Mm-hmm Also That cave is really mine Don't you forget it And every so often From time to time I'll call in You can come whenever Although Given all we've been through It'll be a relief not to see your black curly head every day So On second thought I think you should just stay away Yes I have to agree with that Off I go It's time Off you go then Hang on there Let's go Yeah Go I'm ready, Bic Are you? Don't be scared Here it comes now My spring yell!
