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

Lord Capulet:
No-one can escape from paying
The price of taking a life

Lady Montague:
My son Romeo did kill Tybalt

Lord Montague:
But before that

“Tybalt took Mercutio’s life”

The Prince:
I want to know the truth of this affair
Where is Romeo?

Romeo:
“Right here.”

Lord Montague:
“Romeo!”

Romeo:
I never meant to kill anyone
I only reacted to my best friend being killed
I ended up taking vengeance on Tybalt
Without being able to stop myself

Lady Capulet:
“That doesn’t change the fact that you killed him!”

Lord Montague:
“An eye for an eye!”

Benvolio:
It was your hatred
That drove us to this
We are the victims
In your deadly conflict
Which one of you has the right to judge us?

All:
No-one can escape from paying
The price of taking a life
No-one can escape from paying
The price of taking a life

Lord Capulet, Lord Montague:
An impartial

Lady Capulet, Lady Montague:
Judgement

Prince:
The truth is
That hatred
Took the lives of these youths

The price of taking a life…

Lady Capulet, Lady Montague:
Judgement
