Lyrics: Sans Elle (Romeo et Juliette)

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

Romeo:
A life without Juliette
Travelling on my own
An unfamiliar city…unfamiliar people
We cross paths without saying a word
I was only able to be with her for one night
Now I can only embrace her in memories
The setting sun shares my loneliness

Juliette:
“Friar! Friar Laurence!”

Friar Laurence:
“Juliette?”

Juliette:
“Please, you have to do something!
I will be forced to marry Count Paris tomorrow!”

Friar Laurence:
“What?”

Juliette:
“My father says that if I forget Romeo and marry Paris everyone will be happer…”

Friar Laurence:
“And what do you think”

Juliette:
“I can’t marry him!”
I couldn’t bear living
Without my beloved
I would rather die!!

Friar Laurence:
It is a sin
To throw away the life God has given you

Juliette:
“Then what shall I do?”

Friar Laurence:
I will give you this potion
Made from Belladonna
When you drink it your breath will stop
Your limbs will become cold
You will look like you are dead
Everyone will think you have died
And take you to the crypt
But after 24 hours
You will wake up
And I will call Romeo
To come to you in secret

Juliette:
We can travel to a new future together
