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

Gwendolen:
A hat! A hat!
The perfect hat
For today…

I need a hat
That’s sure
To catch his eye

I need a hat
That suits a maiden’s face
And catches the eye
Of all the gentlemen

A hat! A hat!
One that can straightaway
capture the heart
of any single man

With blooming flowers
To express my secret thoughts
One that’s charming
However you look at it
The perfect hat!
