Lyrics: Demain (Romeo et Juliette)

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

Lord Capulet:
It seems Paris doesn’t know yet
About Romeo and Juliette’s marriage
I must hurry
For the future of the family
She must be married off
To Paris!
The wedding will be tomorrow!

Lady Capulet:
Juliette,
You’re getting married tomorrow
You will be Count Paris’ bride
Your father and I
Decided this was for your own good
You will obey us!

Juliette:
“No!”

Lord and Lady Capulet:
You will be married tomorrow!

Juliette:
“I already have a husband!”

Lord Capulet:
“Do you mean Romeo?”
Forget him!

Lady Capulet:
He’s our enemy–he slew your dear cousin Tybalt!
He was banished from Verona!

Lord and Lady Capulet:
You should be able to forget someone like him easily!

Juliette:
“Mother, you said…”
That you never loved your husband!

Lady Capulet:
“Juliette!?”

Juliette:
I don’t want to become a wife like that

Lord Capulet:
“You must be joking…”

Juliette:
I truly
Love Romeo!
But I suppose you
Can’t understand that

Lord and Lady Capulet:
“You will be married–”

Juliette:
“I will not!”

Lady Capulet:
“Juliette!”

Peter:
“Count Paris…”

Paris:
I offer my condolences
For Tybalt

Lord Capulet:
Joy is the best way
To drive out sorrow! The wedding–

Paris:
“What!”

Lord Capulet:
For you and Juliette–

Nurse:
“My Lord!”

Lord Capulet:
Will be tomorrow!

Paris:
“Is that really alright?”

Lord Capulet:
We must strike while the iron is hot!

Paris:
“I can marry Juliette!”

Lady Capulet:
“Now…”

Nurse:
“Is this alright?”

Lord Capulet:
It’s for this house!

Juliette:
No!
I won’t be his wife!

Lord Capulet:
You will follow your parents’ orders!
