Lyrics: Prayer (The Scarlet Pimpernel)

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

Percy Blakeney:
Whatever you do, I don’t care
Please stay there
I wanted you to stay the person who I loved
What should I believe?

Did you vanish?
Did I only love a fantasy?

Lord, give me light
To guide me through this maze inside my heart

A foolish man whose wife deceives him
Can pretend he doesn’t know and so deceive himself
Bite in vain and laugh bitterly
But if I live in foolishness will I be able to forget?

Lord
My heart has been crushed and I feel I will go mad
Still I will definitely overcome this trial

Lord
Give me strength!
