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

Lady Capulet:
He went to your father
To ask if he could have you to wife
This is the best match you could have!

Juliet:
But I have not even met him!

Lady Capulet:
If a marriage is to work well
The couple shouldn’t love each other too much
Why, I never loved my husband!

Juliet:
Mother!?

Lady Capulet and Nurse:
Sweet love is just for dreams
A match made by your parents is the best!

Juliet:
I can’t believe my own mother would say such things!

Lady Capulet:
Men are foolish creatures

Nurse:
They can’t understand women

Lady Capulet:
You might come to hate him

Nurse:
I still like men though!

Capulet women:
What!?

Nurse:
If a wife breaks her vows
The fault is on her husband

Lady Capulet:
If he betrays you
You won’t be hurt if you don’t love him!

Juliet:
This is too much!

Lady Capulet and Nurse:
Life is far too short
If you let this chance get away it will be too late

Lady Capulet:
You need to marry while you’re still young and pretty!

Lady Capulet and Nurse:
Passionate love is just for dreams
A match made by your parents is the best!

(dialogue)

Lady Capulet and Nurse:
Life is far too short
If you let this chance get away it will be too late
You will marry Count Paris!
