English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the French musical.
Paris:
I would like to make your daughter my wife
Anyone you asked would say
That my status and looks are excellent
I’ve heard rumours that your household
Has a large amound of debt
I have come into
A vast inheritance
(dialogue)
Lord Capulet:
It’s true you would be an ideal bridegroom
But if we go too quickly
My daughter might cry
I have an idea: tonight at my mansion
I will hold a masked ball
You can court my daughter behind a mask
She will surely fall for you
You will propose at once and everything’s settled!
Paris:
Brilliant!
Lord Capulet:
The day I can call you my son
Paris:
Will surely
Both:
Be soon!
