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

Percy:
Over here and over there
Frenchmen in black clothes are
Searching all over for
The Pimpernel’s identity!

[Dialogue break]

Percy:
Thwarting the Revolutionary government

Male and Female Guests, The League:
The Scarlet

Percy:
Like an elusive ghost

Male and Female Guests, The League:
Pimpernel

Percy:
He has the Committee of Public Safety in a daze

Male and Female Guests, The League:
He has the Committee of Public Safety in a daze

All:
Over here and over there
The Scarlet Pimpernel is the topic

Marguerite:
If anyone knows, whisper it to me
The Pimpernel’s identity

Male and Female Guests, The League:
The Pimpernel’s identity

Chauvelin:
My sources say he’s a British noble

The Prince:
Perhaps he’s here among us?

Percy:
Then perhaps it’s me

The League:
It could be me

Percy:
Don’t I look like a hero of justice?

Chauvelin:
You don’t!

Percy:
“Too bad…”
If only once

Marguerite:
I wish I could see him

The Prince:
I want to join his band!

Chauvelin:
Your Highness is

Chauvelin, Mercier, Cupeau:
Truly shameful!

Percy:
He hides his real face and disappears
While all sorts of men
Try to set a mousetrap for him

The Prince:
Find the Pimpernel!

All:
Find the Scarlet Pimpernel!

Chauvelin:
He could have been hiding at Your Highness’ side

The Prince:
“By my side?”

Chauvelin:
During the last dance

The Prince:
Perhaps he’s disguised as a woman
“Is it you?”

Marguerite:
“You’re mistaken.”

All:
Is it you? Is it me?
We don’t know who it could be.

Percy:
“Madame, is there anything you would like to say to him?”

Marguerite:
Please give me
Some clue to let me find you

Percy:
If I were him I would answer thus
“My true face is behind this mask!”

All:
No matter where he hides we’ll find him!

Chauvelin:
Don’t forget your brother’s life is at stake!

Marguerite:
You are too cruel! I cannot take any more!

Percy:
May I have the next dance with you?

All:
The Scarlet Pimpernel
The Pimpernel
