English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the French musical.
Romeo:
You two and I are closer than brothers
We played and laughed and spent our youth together
But all too suddenly a strange shadow has appeared
Leaving behind the sense that death is coming someday
I’m afraid: I won’t hide it, I’m afraid to die
The shadow is silently creeping up behind me
I’m afraid–I’m afraid
What if tomorrow my friends were to vanish
And the world closed off in darkness
Please, my friends, listen to me
I can see what’s coming
We spend all our time in foolish play
But there is no bright dawn waiting for us
The end is coming someday–I can see it
I’m afraid
I’m afraid of the sound of the guitar you play
Being swept away by the wind forever
I’m afraid, oh, I’m afraid
If we are struck by God’s wrath
What might we be driven to?
Oh~ Oh~
I’m afraid, I’m afraid
The end of something is beginning
Oh~ Oh~
I’m afraid
