English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the French musical.
Juliette:
The stars in the night sky are all smiling
As if in celebration of our meeting
His name is Romeo–but why must it be Romeo?
Cut ties with your father and throw away your name
Or if you cannot, then as long as you love me
I will throw away the name of Capulet
Romeo:
Call me ‘lover’: let that be my new name
I am no longer Romeo now that I love you
Juliette:
How did you get here? If you are found they’ll kill you!
Romeo:
I flew over everything on wings of love
Both:
Even if the rose were to change its name
Its scent wouldn’t change: there’s no real meaning to a name
Romeo:
I’ll swear by the moon!
Juliette:
Don’t swear by anything! Like the moon changes shape
So might your love change
Romeo:
Let’s create an unchangeable love together
Both:
This seed of love will surely bloom beautifully
We have been blessed by this love
