English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production of the Broadway musical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin:<\/strong>
Even the moon changes its shape to deceive the eyes of men
Like this game of riddles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marguerite:<\/strong>
I cannot trust anyone\u2014is it a punishment?
It\u2019s a game of betrayal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both:<\/strong>
I stumble about, lost alone in the dark
Searching for the truth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin:<\/strong>
Chasing it through<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marguerite:<\/strong>
The depths of hell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both:<\/strong>
Even if I sell my soul<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Percy:<\/strong>
In the fog of night I search for you
I have lost sight of even your sweet smile<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin:<\/strong>
Everyone has so many lying faces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marguerite:<\/strong>
They will even lose themselves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All:<\/strong>
I am trembling as I am reflected in the mirror
Should I know the truth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin:<\/strong>
My old wounds ache<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marguerite:<\/strong>
I want to wipe away this pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All:<\/strong>
Even if I sell my soul<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Percy:<\/strong>
Does she still love me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin:<\/strong>
My revenge isn\u2019t over!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marguerite:<\/strong>
The suffering is burning me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All:<\/strong>
This is for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Percy:<\/strong>
Even the betrayer Judas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marguerite:<\/strong>
Loved the Christ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin:<\/strong>
Such a foolish love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
I stumble about, lost alone in the dark
Searching for the truth
Chasing it through the depths of hell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauvelin\u2019s supporters:<\/strong>
We\u2019ll execute the aristos! The guillotine is waiting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

League:<\/strong>
Even if the whole world turns against me I will fulfill my duty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
Even if I sell my soul
I will lose this love<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
