English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the French musical.
Nurse:
I knew the first time I held her
That God had brought us together
I never stopped praying for her happiness
And now she’s in love
She’s all grown up and she loves him
She doesn’t need me me anymore
She’s leaving me behind as she leaves the nest
And now she’s going to be with
The person who she loves
I didn’t give birth to her
But there’s no doubt that she’s my child
I want the mother who bore her to understand
And let her go down the road she desires
And now she’s in love
She’s all grown up and she loves him
No one can stop
The passion of the young lovers
And now she has courage of her own
Please, Lord, give me
That courage too
So I can bring Romeo and Juliette together
Give me the strength
To help their love bear fruit
Oh… Oh…
She’s in love
