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

Suzanne:
All I saw was an ordinary old man
Perhaps it was one of his followers

Ann:
In the rumors he’s a giant

Cate:
I heard he’s covered in tattoos

Julie:
I hear he battles in the nude

Peggy:
Then he’s only a barbarian

Suzanne:
One thing we can say for sure

All:
He’s definitely a man!

Polly:
He’s an Indian Maharaja!

Sally:
A Turkish Sultan!

Marie Grosholtz:
Perhaps he’s a Venitian gondolier!

Suzanne:
He appears in times of danger

All:
A man you can rely on

[Dialogue]

Marguerite:
For him to slip past all their guards
And cross the sea to save people
He is a hero to be respected
No matter what country he is from

Marie Grosholtz:
The rumors in Paris say he’s an austere British gentleman

All:
There’s no austere gentlemen to be found around here
With hunting (hunting)
And cricket (cricket)
And billiards

Polly:
Our men only play around

Sally:
This week too

All:
They suddenly went hunting and still haven’t returned

Suzanne:
Percy’s the one who led them away
And left his new bride behind!

Percy:
You’re certainly busy

Marguerite:
Welcome back

Percy:
Has something happened?

Marguerite:
We were trying to guess who the Scarlet Pimpernel might be

Percy:
Have you discovered his identity?

Marguerite:
Well…

Percy:
Do tell me!

Ann:
He’s a giant

Cate:
Barbarian

Julie:
With a hobby

Polly:
Of nude strolls

All:
But to tell the truth
There’s a rumor he’s an austere British gentleman
What do you think?

Percy:
I’m surrounded with playboys
Surely you would be the ones to know that?

All:
We know!

Percy:
If you discover his identity
Let me know first of all
The real Scarlet Pimpernel
