English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the French musical.

Prince:
This city of Verona that I rule over
Overflows with relics of Roman history
It looks like a paradise blooming with flowers
But Hell is hiding in the shadows!
Capulets! Montagues!
From generation to generation those two families
Continue to fight

All:
This is Verona, our dear Verona
Instead of love we are filled with hatred
Blood flows from our wounds and sometimes we lose our lives
But no matter who forbids it we will never stop!
This is Verona, our city Verona
Poison flows within our veins
A incurable poison called ‘hatred’
Even in the pretty girls and the young men

Prince:
This is Verona!

(dialogue)

Benvolio:
Even if His Excellency orders us to stop

Mercutio:
We won’t give up this fight

(dialogue)

Tybalt:
I don’t care about laws, I have no use for them
My strongest ally is this knife

Tybalt/Mercutio/Benvolio:
For us, who were born and raised in this city
It is our destiny to fight as long as we live

All:
This is Verona, our dear Verona
As soon as you’re born you have an enemy to hate.
Even before you’re born you’re caught
In a never-ending whirlpool of violence.
This is Verona, our city Verona
You have enemies before you realize it.
The time for love and forgiveness will never come!
We are fated to forever fight and hate each other!

(dialogue)

Lord Capulet:
My blood boils when I see my enemy in front of me!

(dialogue)

Lord Montague:
I’m not foolish enough to turn my back on an enemy!

All:
This is Verona, our dear Verona
Instead of love we are filled with hatred
Blood flows from our wounds and sometimes we lose our lives
But no matter who forbids it we will never stop!

Prince:
Verona, Verona
This is Verona!
