Lyrics: Comment Lui Dire (Romeo et Juliette)

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

Benvolio:
Right now I can hear the collapse
Of the whole world you dreamed of
From the time we were little we never hid anything
We told each other about everything
But how can I tell you this?
The one you loved more than life itself
Has taken her own life–
How am I to possibly
Tell you?
I understand the pain you feel
Yesterday we were kings
We ruled the world
But now we can’t even
Bring one person back to life
No-one…not even Juliette
Mercutio is gone
Now you and I are the only ones left
The light doesn’t even reach this city anymore
It’s as if the end of the world is coming
How am I to possibly
Tell you
That our happy youth has ended
Yesterday we were kings
We ruled the world
But now we can’t even
Bring one person back to life
No-one…not even Mercutio
How can I
Tell you
That none of us is left but you and I
I’m the only one left to tell you
From the time we were little we never hid anything
We told each other everything
And now I
Have to tell you, Oh~
I have to tell Romeo, Oh~
Oh~, Oh~
I have to tell him!
