English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the French musical.
Lord Capulet:
It seems Paris doesn’t know yet
About Romeo and Juliette’s marriage
I must hurry
For the future of the family
She must be married off
To Paris!
The wedding will be tomorrow!
Lady Capulet:
Juliette,
You’re getting married tomorrow
You will be Count Paris’ bride
Your father and I
Decided this was for your own good
You will obey us!
Juliette:
“No!”
Lord and Lady Capulet:
You will be married tomorrow!
Juliette:
“I already have a husband!”
Lord Capulet:
“Do you mean Romeo?”
Forget him!
Lady Capulet:
He’s our enemy–he slew your dear cousin Tybalt!
He was banished from Verona!
Lord and Lady Capulet:
You should be able to forget someone like him easily!
Juliette:
“Mother, you said…”
That you never loved your husband!
Lady Capulet:
“Juliette!?”
Juliette:
I don’t want to become a wife like that
Lord Capulet:
“You must be joking…”
Juliette:
I truly
Love Romeo!
But I suppose you
Can’t understand that
Lord and Lady Capulet:
“You will be married–”
Juliette:
“I will not!”
Lady Capulet:
“Juliette!”
Peter:
“Count Paris…”
Paris:
I offer my condolences
For Tybalt
Lord Capulet:
Joy is the best way
To drive out sorrow! The wedding–
Paris:
“What!”
Lord Capulet:
For you and Juliette–
Nurse:
“My Lord!”
Lord Capulet:
Will be tomorrow!
Paris:
“Is that really alright?”
Lord Capulet:
We must strike while the iron is hot!
Paris:
“I can marry Juliette!”
Lady Capulet:
“Now…”
Nurse:
“Is this alright?”
Lord Capulet:
It’s for this house!
Juliette:
No!
I won’t be his wife!
Lord Capulet:
You will follow your parents’ orders!
