Tateh Ssshhh. Don't cry. Don't be afraid. I'm here. We're together. Ssshh. Look! Ssshhh. Look what I've made for you. See the silhouettes. It's a little book of silhouettes. When you flip the pages, they move. Look how nice! This is you on skates Turning pretty figure-eights On the smooth, cool ice... We are gliding, Gliding on a pond. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. We are gliding, Gliding far beyond. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Feel the wind As you pirouette... Are you happy yet? Are you happy yet? Your Mameh would tell you: "Imagine you're fearless. Imagine you're fearless And soon, you won't fear!" When I am afraid, I imagine your Mameh. She skates just ahead. Can you see her? She's here! And we're... Gliding, Gliding far away. Pirouettes, Figure-eights, Silver skates... Just down the track. Glide with me, little one. Glide with your Tateh. We'll never Look back! Conductor My kid would like that! How much? Tateh It's not for... A dollar? Conductor What do you call it? Tateh I... Conductor It's gotta have a name. I'm not paying this much for something without a name. Tateh They move. I call them... movie... books!Your father is a smart man! With this money, we'll get a clean bed and a hot bath, and tomorrow we will make more of these and we will sell them for two dollars. Tateh's movie books! Everyone will want them. They just don't know that yet! We are gliding, Gliding far away. Pirouettes, Figure-eights, Silver skates Just down the track! Glide with me, little one, Glide with your Tateh. We'll never Look back!
