Lyrics: J’sais Plus (Romeo et Juliette)

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

Friar Laurence:
Why…why…
Those pure-hearted lovers
Only longed for each other’s love
But God abandoned them

This body, this soul
I’ve given everything to You
But my prayers did not reach
What did they do
To deserve Your anger
From now on
What am I to believe in
As I keep living?

My only desire
In bringing the young couple together
Was that the Montagues
And Capulets
Would reject their hatred

So why
Has such a harsh punishment
Fallen upon us?

(dialogue)

Oh, God
What am I to trust in
From now on?
The last hope is gone now, oh, God
