English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the Broadway musical.
Chauvelin:
Even the moon changes its shape to deceive the eyes of men
Like this game of riddles
Marguerite:
I cannot trust anyone—is it a punishment?
It’s a game of betrayal
Both:
I stumble about, lost alone in the dark
Searching for the truth
Chauvelin:
Chasing it through
Marguerite:
The depths of hell
Both:
Even if I sell my soul
Percy:
In the fog of night I search for you
I have lost sight of even your sweet smile
Chauvelin:
Everyone has so many lying faces
Marguerite:
They will even lose themselves
All:
I am trembling as I am reflected in the mirror
Should I know the truth?
Chauvelin:
My old wounds ache
Marguerite:
I want to wipe away this pain
All:
Even if I sell my soul
Percy:
Does she still love me?
Chauvelin:
My revenge isn’t over!
Marguerite:
The suffering is burning me
All:
This is for you
Percy:
Even the betrayer Judas
Marguerite:
Loved the Christ
Chauvelin:
Such a foolish love
Chorus:
I stumble about, lost alone in the dark
Searching for the truth
Chasing it through the depths of hell
Chauvelin’s supporters:
We’ll execute the aristos! The guillotine is waiting
League:
Even if the whole world turns against me I will fulfill my duty
Chorus:
Even if I sell my soul
I will lose this love
