Lyrics: On Dit dans le Rue (Romeo et Juliette)

English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the French musical.

Benvolio:
There’s rumours on the street
They say you’ve gone mad, Romeo
That you’ve married the heiress of the Capulets
If it’s true you are no longer our friend.

Benvolio and Mercutio:
You smile at us like an angel
But now do you mean to betray us?

All:
Well?

Romeo:
I only wanted

All:
Tell us

Romeo:
To be honest with myself

All:
Your real

Romeo:
I love

All:
feelings

Romeo:
Juliette

All:
Are you really

Romeo:
I would do anything for her

All:
going to

Romeo:
I can’t imagine

All:
Throw away

Romeo:
Giving up

All:
Your real self?

Romeo:
A life with her

Mercutio:
Everyone on the street knows about it
How you seduced Juliette

Romeo:
“That’s a lie!”

Benvolio:
Even if you flee
Your enemies will surely
Track you down
And take her back

Benvolio and Mercutio:
Even if you love your enemy you won’t be happy
You’re lost in a sweet dream

All:
Wake up!

Romeo:
None of you understand

All:
There are plenty

Romeo:
What it’s like to love someone

All:
of other

Romeo:
How it makes your heart tremble

All:
girls around

Romeo:
The fear and sorrow and gladness of it

All:
Are you going to

Romeo:
You can say whatever you want

All:
throw away

Romeo:
But I can’t imagine

All:
your own

Romeo:
Living on

All:
future?

Romeo:
Without her

Benvolio:
What about the Montagues’ honor?

Romeo:
There’s honor in loving her!

Mercutio:
You have a duty to protect your house

Romeo:
It’s my duty to protect her now!

Benvolio:
Stop arguing and give this up!

Romeo:
I can’t!

All:
Juliette

Romeo:
Juliette’s family

All:
Is your enemy

Romeo:
Is human just like us

All:
You can’t

Romeo:
The day will come when we make peace

All:
Be with her

Romeo:
And stop hating each other

All:
Wake up!

Romeo:
You should wake up!

All:
Do you mean

Romeo:
I’m not betraying you

All:
That you’re serious

Romeo:
Why won’t you realize

All:
In betraying us?

Romeo:
That you’re wrong?

All:
Why

Romeo:
You must understand

All:
Won’t you understand?

Romeo:
I love all of you as well

All:
You’ve gone

Romeo:
But my love for her

All:
Completely mad!

Romeo:
Is stronger and deeper

All:
Hatred

Romeo:
I’ll throw away my hatred

All:
Doesn’t just go away

Romeo:
And live according to

All:
You need to
Give up on her!

Romeo:
My love for her

All:
No matter what we say

Romeo:
We’ll live

All:
It won’t get through

Romeo:
Loving each other, ah~

All:
You’re already
Done for
You’re done for!
