English translation of lyrics from the French musical.

Please note: this song appears to have some variation. These lyrics are based on the version used starting in 2011.

Romeo:
The kings running the world are up above the clouds
But down on earth

Romeo and Benvolio:
We’re the heroes!

Benvolio:
They haven’t noticed that it’s all over for them
While our elders are sleeping, that’s our time to dance!

(refrain)
All:
From morning till night, for all the time we have,
We want to feel alive in this moment with love for each other.
We won’t to lose to the adults!
We are our own kings!

Mercutio:
The kings of the world are afraid of us
Since we’re the ones who will make the new rules!

Romeo and Mercutio (Benvolio):
The kings are all fighting (fighting)
Over the same throne (the throne)
But we won’t play along

Trio:
With any dictator’s games!

Refrain x3 (dance break between 1&2)

(Over refrain:)
Benvolio:
We won’t lose
To the adults!

Romeo:
I want to find
The real meaning of life…

Benvolio [Mercutio in 2011?]:
Where have they gone?

Trio:
We’re the rightful kings!

Romeo:
We’re alive!
