English translation of lyric from the Takarazuka production of the Broadway musical. This song is one of the original songs written for the Takarazuka version.
Chauvelin:
Everyone has their dreams
This revolution was the dream of humanity
Chorus:
The dream of humanity
Chauvelin:
Those who built barricades in the streets
And gained victory in the fight, the citoyens
Chorus:
We citoyens fought
Chauvelin:
That summer we were all in solidarity
I won’t forget the heat of our clasped hands
Where have the days of glory gone?
Was it only a fantasy we saw?
Have the days of glory faded?
I believe in the dream
of the Revolution!
Chorus:
Where have they gone?
What did we see?
The days of glory
Have faded
With the dream of the Revolution)
Percy:
Everyone wants to be free
They have the right to pull themselves up
They were drunk with the dream of revolution
And lost their senses, the citoyens
Chorus:
Everyone wants to be free
To have rights (have rights)
But liberty, equality, and fraternity
Were forgotten, citoyens
Percy:
So much blood was shed and so many lives were lost
And after that what was left?
Chorus:
Lives lost
What remained?
Percy:
We must create
The days of glory anew
We will grasp the days of glory again
With our own hands
Chorus:
We must create
The days of glory anew (we must)
Let’s grasp the days of glory again
With our own hands
Percy:
This time
We will fight
To take hold of real freedom
Without being seduced by a fantasy
All:
Where have the days of glory gone? (Where have they gone?)
Was it only a fantasy we saw?
We will grasp the days of glory again
With our own hands
We will take hold of real freedom
This time
