All Stories start the same
There is nothing new under the moon
lf one star's life has been extinguished
Then another one must have begun
Of course, we choose to follow
Our own words and views
Through storms and circumstances
And evenings with musical cues
Every tale tells its own story
Don't let them sway you
Love, that's all that matters
We would love for it to never end
Lovingly hardened into lead
But alas, softly, against our will
lt passes from the heart to the head
All stories start the same
There is nothing new under the moon
Here is the tale of Romeo and Juliet
To those of you who think you have seen it all
Those well read who travelled near and far
And those who don't get astonished at all
Welcome to Verona
Those of you who think man is nice
Because he can make beautiful songs
lf you think that this will suffice
Welcome to Verona
Of course, here like abroad
Men are no worse or better
Good. We welcome you all here tonight
Whether by circumstance or error
You are in Verona, Beautiful Verona
This city is the world's distain
we choose to leave but instead remain
Here is not the rule of kings
Here two houses control all things
No need to choose which side you're on
Choice will be made for you before long
You are in Verona, oft talked about Verona
The venom of rage flows through our days
As it does in our veins
Of course our gardens with flowers overflow
Of course our women are fair and powerful
lt is as if heaven found a place on earth
But sadly our souls are devoid of mirth
You are in Verona
Those of you who sleep at days end
Confident that you made a new friend
Here you place your faith in no one
Welcome to Verona
God's grace shines on us like gold
We also die but we die old
We live like royalty in this fold
That's what it's like in Verona
Of course, here like abroad
Men are no worse or better
Good. We welcome you all here tonight
Whether by circumstance or error
You are in Verona, Beautiful Verona
This city is the world's distain
we choose to leave but instead remain
Here is not the rule of kings
Here two houses control all things
No need to choose which side you're on
Choice will be made for you before long
You are in Verona, oft talked about Verona
The venom of rage flows through our days
As it does in our veins
Of course our gardens with flowers overflow
Of course our women are fair and powerful
lt is as if heaven found a place on earth
But sadly our souls are devoid of mirth
Verona!
Beautiful Verona
This city is the world's distain
we choose to leave but instead remain
Here is not the rule of kings
Here two houses control all things
No need to choose which side you're on
Choice will be made for you before long
You are in Verona, oft talked about Verona
The venom of rage flows through our days
As it does in our veins
Of course our gardens with flowers overflow
Of course our women are fair and powerful
lt is as if heaven found a place on earth
But sadly our souls are devoid of mirth
Verona! Verona!
You are in Verona...
Citizens of Verona!
Citizens of Verona!
l advise you. No! l order you
To cease these quarrels that poison and will eventually kill you!
You will only have peace when you fight for it
You, Montague!
And you, Capulet!
lf you, once again unsettle our streets
You spend the rest of your lives paving mine!
l will tell you one last time
Don't count on my forgiveness anymore
Tybalt!
And you, Mercutio...
Don't count on my forgiveness anymore
God who sees all, look at us look at yourself
ln our homes there seeps a poison with a name
Hate, Hate...
Coiled like a snake in your essence
Hate, Hate...
With which you judge and you sentence
Hate, Hate...
l see it seething in your eyes
Hate, Hate...
Makes you into what you despise
l Hate, Hate...
l really must confess You disgust me no less
Why is it in this town we all love to
Hate,Hate...
ln the name of the father and of the son
Hate,Hate...
They turn us in to your companion
Hate, Hate...
lt is courage with no collar on it
Hate, Hate...
The sister of love but we hide it
l curse you for all these nights
l listened to you without understanding
With you l forget everything including pleasure
Hate, it seems, becomes my only treasure
Look how you are enslaved
The *** called Hate takes everything
Look how you are reduced
She plays you like a puppet on a string
How in your name can we make
as many crimes as we do victims?
Hate, lt will nestle deep in your being
Therefore listen to what women are saying
Hate
Hate
Hate...
Alas Benvolio! Another Battle? Was it won or lost?
l do not know
Any news of my son?
Umm, yes. Wait. no!
Benvolio, l am asking you Do you know where Romeo is?
Umm, to tell you the truth m'lady l have no idea
l know where he was yesterday as l was with him
l also know where he was two hours ago
because l was with him but now l don't know
because...
Because you're not with him
Exactly!
Why does my son have you as his friend?
Actually m'lady, his best friend!
Even better, Benvolio go find him for me!
Benvolio do this, Benvolio do that
Do you think l know where Romeo is?
l'm not his mother after all...
Why is it that everyone seeks him out all the time?
lt's true everyone is always looking for you
Romeo!
l am the love of many women l am not yet two times ten
l know all their weapons, they have slain me again and again
l am the love of many women love for them l never show
l have made their soft tears run whenever l let them go
Bodies of pale hue believed my feeling's true
A facade was all they really knew
Love, l am ready for you
What does one know about love when one is only sixteen
Of course one day l will know but when will that day be seen
What does one know about life when one's just begun
Still l die of impatience waiting waiting for the one
Who makes your heart swell and to you will tell
The words, these words that cast a spell
Love, l am ready for you
One day she will come
One day she will be my only one
One day, and from that day
l will live off love, one day
One day, we can forget the part where we carried a heavy heart
One day, it will be our time to spend in our love sublime
One day we will make our vows true
l was alone, now we will be two we will love each other so immensely
And impassion our souls intensely
And when earthly life has departed my love for you will have but started
One day...
One day we will make our vows true
l was alone, now we will be two we will love each other so immensely
And impassion our souls intensely
And when earthly life has departed my love for you will have but started
One day...
One day...
Romeo, everyone is looking for you
Romeo, Why is everyone always looking for you?
Romeo?
Yes, Benvolio
lt's me, l have a message from Madame Montague
You know... your mother She is looking for you
And, well, that's the message she is looking for you
Romeo, wait, Romeo!
Lady Capulet
My dear Paris
Charming as always...
Thank you
Count Capulet
Count Paris
Here are some flowers for Juliet
Oh how nice...
l am thirty years old l'm charming l'm told
l love your daughter, let her marry me
l travel in high circles
Around me princes and kings surround me
l will rid your liabilities if you should have any
l will throw you parties, if you would let me
On my knees l must implore
For Juliet's hand, for it is her l adore
Dear friend, this is news to me
As it is to your love l am sure you'll see
Profound is the crime to steal a heart
before it's time
l make you nervous but she is still so fragile
You must wait a while
Come by then later, then you will see her
And for sympathy, please try to be
slower in your advances first share a few dances
for me, thinking thoughts most pure l consider only her
Profound is the crime to steal a heart
before it's time, before it's time...
Leave!
Go quickly cousin, hurry!
My dear your mother comes
Everybody must go....
Your father loves me no more
He only really loved me
When we met l am sure
Then he knew we would marry
For him love was there
l saw his passion rise
when he saw my skin bare
Don't pretend to be shy
l was pretty as anyone
l was pretty as you
The only one under the sun
The only thing his eyes looked to
But alas, as time goes by
So does love fly
We all have the same vision
To love to the point of delirium
Juliet you are the right age
You must think of marriage
Listen to your mother
Listen to your nurse
Men!
Yes, men!
Men are so weak
They misunderstand us so often
But we are not so simple when we speak
Men, l hate them l do
To me, l think they are fine
They have done nothing to you
l know but l will have my time
Juliet listen to your elders
She had good motives
To have take some lovers
plenty of reasons to give
l did not feel envy
For l was a good wife
He was the only man for me
And l was his partner for life
Life full of splendor
Life passes so fast
You must at least visit the altar
Once on Life's path
Your gown is now ready to wear
l know l was the one who made it so fair
Frail women are we, we fear
Deep in our valley full of tears
Now achieve our dual reprisal
Through your marriage proposal
This l beg of you
Of this l beg of too
Go on! Stand up, my darling
And one, and one...
No,No, No
Not on the tip of your toe
Then reverence...
Excellent!
Life full of splendor
Life passes so fast You must at least visit the altar
Once on Life's path
One day you will thank us
You must marry without a fuss
But that's my ball gown
lt's too beautiful for words
l must try it on
l am getting married, Nanny
What a funny thought, l am too young
Young?
My dear, at your age l already enjoying the pleasure of courting with my husband!
You were married?
Yes l was, but he is dead may he rest in peace
And you loved him?
You are getting it all mixed up, Juliet!
Love is not marriage and marriage is not love
l want both
l want...! You are nothing but a spoiled brat (Antonieta did you see Benvolio?)
Yes, but l want both (Romeo?)
Juliet!
(Mercutio?)
My dear Mercutio?
Sabrina have you seen Romeo?
Sergio! Where is Mercutio?
Where have they all gone?
The kings of the world always live on top
The vista is great but they lack the thought
Of what the people below think of them
That we are the kings and them just men
The kings of the world in their ivory towers
Sit by themselves in crowded rooms and glower
Worrying from the first rays of morning light
While we down below dance away the night
We make love, we live life
Day after day night after night
What good does it do us to be on earth?
lf it is to live our lives on our knees
We know how fast time is fleeting
To live is the most important thing
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We aren't criminals so let us be
The kings of the world are afraid of all
They lay their traps fearing they will fall
They protect themselves whether it be pet or beast
And finally even from love they retreat
The kings of the world wage constant warfare
There is enough land but never to share
We don't want to fight their war
We don't even know what we are fighting for
We make love, we live life
Day after day night after night
What good does it do us to be on earth?
lf it is to live our lives on our knees
We know how fast time is fleeting
To live is the most important thing
lt is like times flow (Morales sometimes drive us mad)
More like the winds, ou... (We know that we are really not bad)
We make love, we live life
Day after day night after night
What good does it do us to be on earth?
lf it is to live our lives on our knees
What good does it do us to be on earth
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad
we are really not bad
We know how fast time is fleeting
Morales sometimes drive us mad We know that we are really not bad
We make love, we live life
Day after day night after night
What good does it do us to be on earth?
lf it is to live our lives on our knees
We know how fast time is fleeting
To live is the most important thing
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad
Friends, tonight there is a ball
Really? Where?
The house of Capulet
Yes Yes Yes, but are we invited?
Of course not!
So? So now what?
l have a wicked idea for the Capulets!
To you my friends and brothers
You, l have loved like no others
Riding here on your shoulders so high
Do you feel a brush with death as do l?
You who laugh and do not have a care in the world
those of you who laugh at tomorrow and its peril
l Romeo an independent forthright man
Tonight l have a weight l must unburden
l'm scared, l'm scared
that our gentle shadows
Will tomorrow turn to stone
That the same stars that guided us
will push us into the darkness
l'm scared, l'm scared, l'm scared l'm scared, l'm scared...
This tedious life passes at a regular pace
But tomorrow this life might be erased
And the winds of change will fill our guitar strains
My friends my companions
You want to do and see as much as you can
Fruits of the heart are the most tender
But they all die come December
Those of you who are adolescence
You who have courage and indolence
Pay heed to what you are doing
For tonight you may see your ruin
l'm scared, l'm scared
l have heard life awaits us
lt ls the gentle lie of our parents
For us life is easy but peace of mind a scarcity
l'm scared, l'm scared l'm scared, oh l'm scared
That the gods in their displeasure
Will wreck vengeance at their leisure
Loving throughout existence but never thankful for an instant
So scared
l'm scared, Oh l'm scared
l have heard life awaits us
lt ls the gentle lie of our parents
l'm scared, Oh so scared, l'm scared... l'm scared
That the same stars that guided us
Will push us into the darkness
l'm scared
l'm scared
Romeo don't be so sad
Of course, don't be so upset
What would you say to some dancing?
Dancing?
Yes, dancing
Of course, but where?
The Capulets
How?
Masked!
And well dressed, Romeo are you well dressed?
No!
Well friends, take care of him
Your mask
Now let the party begin
She wears a dress so light
A touch of silk for who
She is so beautiful beautiful enough to die for
l better pick a beautiful day
lf l am to die that way
What are the eyes of this man
When they are looking at me
How it burns
like an angel trapped in hells night
like an angel of earthly delight
like an angel full of light
lt burns
Will you love me one day?
until the end of days
Will you still love me always?
until the day death takes me away
Will you love me one day, my love?
Will you love me always, my love?
Will you still love me always?
until the day death takes me away
That's what people in love say
Who seek true love day after day
Will you love me one day?
until the end of days
Will you still love me always?
until the day death takes me away
Will you love me one day, my love?
Will you love me one day, my love?
Will you still love me always?
until the day death takes me away
That's what people in love say
Who seek true love day after day
Mother! l beg of you to tell me who was that boy?
Nanny, oh nanny!
Who was that boy? l want to know!
That's Romeo Montague your archenemies son!
NO!
Tybalt! Tybalt!
Where are you? What's going on?
Tybalt! Tybalt!
The memories that we invent are the most beautiful
To say l had childhood memories is untruthful
Mine were stolen then l was cast away
l am the child of hate and delinquency
Blinders on my eyes, l was explained
Others want war and you want the same
l grew up in the shadow of this emotional zeal
Much too dark, too somber for a child to feel
Alone, l am always alone
Alone, always too alone
lt's not my fault
My parents are done with me
What l have become, what you now see
lt's not my fault
l am an extension of their vengeance
And l owe them my obedience
lt's not my fault
Don't look at me that way
lt's not my fault
Never had anything, not even a choice
Begat from boisterousness
At least l have my genesis
lt's not my fault, oh
no, no, no
lt's not my fault
Don't look at me that way
lt's not my fault
Never had anything, not even a choice
Begat from boisterousness
At least l have my genesis
The memories that we invent
are the most beautiful
To say l had childhood
memories are untruthful
Mine were stolen then l was cast away
l am the child of hate and delinquency
Unconventionality that is me
Opposing views is the way that l see
l truly and deeply believe
l understand all with gravity
Yet mysterious workings of the universe
randomly choose my fate
And l wait
l wait as men break my heart
Their madness without cessation
That the errors they duly impart
Will be their own extinction
The mysterious workings of the universe
randomly choose my fate
still l await...
You who makes stones speak forth
Mastery of words you show
Tell me Poet what is it worth
One more day without Romeo
l don't care about the universe
Because tonight, l love a man
who talks about the mysteries of earth
A little is the same as too much as you know
But tell me Poet what is it worth
One more day without Romeo
l couldn't care less about the state of the world
Because tonight, l love a man
God shall pardon me if l betray my father
Should God abandon me l won't fear his anger
For tonight l love a man
So you see Poet
Tonight the world can go to hell
For tonight l love a man
Which star is it, which Deity
Who sees that this love is for me
what above wants it so
That Juliet loves Romeo
Which star is it, which God
Who decides it that he is my beloved
Even if l have to pay the price
For our forbidden love to thrive
Why do our fathers hate deploy
While the daughter loves the other's boy
The ones above must laugh l know
That Juliet loves Romeo
Which star is it, which Deity
Who sees that this love is for me
lf it be their will they shall have it
Because Romeo loves Juliet
lf l must pray, pray l will
lf l must fight, fight l will
Why do we have to pay
for the right to love our way
And our fathers are tearing apart
What their children want in their hearts
We can't change history
Ours will start right away
How l know this will upset them
That a mote loves a child of heaven
Which star is it, which Deity
Who sees that this love is for me
lf it be their will they shall have it
Because Romeo loves Juliet
Which star is it, which Deity
Who sees that this love is for me
The ones above must laugh l know
That Juliet loves Romeo
Romeo, Romeo
l dreamt of you so much
l was looking for you for so long
Romeo, Are you really the one l have been waiting for?
l am the one
Prove it to me
Marry me
Marriage?
How many women before me have you asked, marry me?
Never, my Juliet, l've never
Hear me, Romeo, let this night end
and tomorrow l will send my nursemaid to you
You can tell her if you still want to marry me
Tomorrow...Tomorrow
Tybalt!
No! Don't come any closer!
But what's going on?
What's going on? You asked me what's going on?
Montague had came to our premises
and you asked me what's going on?
lt's Romeo
But Juliette!
What Juliette?
You will never have Juliette, never!
Another Montague!
Let him go!
Friar Laurent, Friar Laurent! l love her, l love her!
Calm down and tell me everything
Who do you love so much this time?
Friar Laurent, l love her
More than l loved anyone before
l believe you my son l believe you, but who?
Why...Juliet!
Juliet! Which Juliet?
Are there other Juliets in this city that merit my affection?
Of course, my son. There are plenty of Juliets that merit your affection
Don't tease me, Father, there is only one
and she is a Capulet!
Capulet!
Yes, Father!
But do you know who she is?
She is the one l love l love her with all my heart
Ahh, love!...
With love one becomes insane
Without it our lives are in vain
My love is with God in skies
l don't live except in his eyes
With love we can suffer
For it l am ready to die
We'll lose ourselves we'll surely sink
We can hope and we can think
With love l will colour our lives
like beautiful rainbows in the skies Help us
Far away from war and strife
Please make us husband and wife With love
With love there is much hurting
Yes but it is the only star shining
The light in darkness we follow
Without love our lives are shallow
Without love
To God is who you commit
But with me it is Juliet
lf everyone must pay- what is my debt?
Father l beg you
Father to you l implore
Marry us today so that injustice is no more
Don't you see us on our knees begging you please Father
Don't you see that we are lambs being led to the slaughter
l would love to sleep with Juliet this night so dark
And wait in blackness for the song of the sky lark
Help us
With love we can achieve
For today eternally, with love
And if God loves us
Then God will help us, with love
With love...
Maybe this is the way
to join the two families
Come to the Chapel this evening with Juliet
l will marry you...
Thank you
Nanny, nanny go ask Romeo what his answer is
Quick, quick mute, you must find Romeo
Romeo, Romeo! Everyone's looking for you where are you hiding this time?
l'm not hiding this time
Hey Romeo, Lover, Sufferer!
Mercutio look! lt's the mute
Oh good morning, what is it you want?
The Gentleman is asking you WHAT-DO-YOU-WANT?
You're mute not deaf
Leave her alone, that's enough!
Ha, ha, ha you laugh all around
Ha, ha, ha you know nothing of true love found
You don't understand it because you don't feel it
lt is because of that, you go ha ha ha
Laugh, laugh hard until you spill tears at which laugh some more
God, life's so simple if you're an imbecile
To be deaf and blind to a love so grand
To be deaf and blind
Ha ha ha my God, she is amusing
With her hair like that of a tree that is flushing
How can our Romeo, the most stunning
Hold on to his verities
As we do our falsities
Ugly or attractive
We are on the same passage
Life doesn't brighten our days
Regardless ugly or pretty
We want what we haven't got
We are taken for what we are not
We laugh when love frightens us
But we pray that it will come to us
Ha, ha, ha you're nothing but dogs l fear
Ha, ha, ha nothing holds you dear
The only friend you know is jealousy
The Northern wind blows less
than your savagery
Ha, ha, ha so what if those two love each other
Ha, ha, ha its not the same don't even bother
Love cannot be had by spoilt children
Love is bestowed on the children God has forgotten
Ugly or attractive
We are on the same passage
Life doesn't brighten our days
Regardless ugly or pretty
We want what we haven't got
We are taken for what we are not
We laugh when love frightens us
But we pray that it will come to us
We are foul, we are fair
Yes, but inside we know what's there
We are foul, we are fair...
Ugly or attractive
We are on the same passage
Life doesn't brighten our days
Whether ugly or pretty of face
We want what we haven't got
We are taken for what we are not
We laugh when love frightens us
But we pray that it will come to us
We want what we haven't got
We are taken for what we are not
We laugh when love frightens us
But we pray that it will come to us
Whether we are foul, whether we are fair
Let me be
Finally Romeo, everyone is always looking for you
l'm looking for you Your mother is looking for you
And now the Capulet's Nursemaid is looking for you
Nurse!
You're still here?
Please stop it, l came looking for Romeo
Why do you want to see him?
lt doesn't concern you
Well here's your Romeo
Romeo, do you love Juliet with all your heart?
Yes nurse
So! What do we have to do?
Go tell Juliet that she must meet me at Friar Laurent's and...
that he will wed us!
l will tell her...Romeo...l will tell her
Tell Juliet l am coming
l am nobody with no ones around me
Give your milk and your love they said to me
And when l saw her eyes l thanked the heaven
And to the heavens l prayed her life would be great
And Juliet grew up
And now she drowns in love and now she dances
She told me l love him how maturity advances
l am nothing but a nursemaid on which who's head she laid
lt's not the one that resembles her
l am the only one trembles for her
And now she drowns in love and now she dances
And now she drowns in love
l who have nothing but her shared her with another
When she says my girl l think l am the mother
With husbands that always need petting
Women like that are always forgetting
The children they reared will soon reach twenty years
Juliet grew up
And now she drowns in love and now she dances
She told me l love him how maturity advances
And it is l above all who looks and sees all
l would give her everything including my life
For this child who's growing up
Now she drowns in love and how brave she is
And how she knows, how her heart explodes
And as you know, love can be fatal
Give me the strength, the bravery
To guide her until she's married
Oh now she loves
Oh now she dances
Oh now she is in love
Oh oh...
Oh now she is in love
Nanny!
Juliet!
l can't wait any longer tell me, what did he say?
Who, my dear. Who?
Who?
Who? Romeo, of course
Ahh, Romeo, He said... l don't know what he said
Juliet l completely forgot
How is that possible, stop, l beg you
This waiting is torturous
Does Romeo love me as much as l love him?
Does he want me as his wife? Answer me!
He wants you, my love, he wants you
Quickly, off to Friar Laurent with you
He is waiting for the both of you
Oh Nanny, thank you, thank you!
Don't thank me Juliet
Look...
To love, is most beautiful
To love, into the sky you go
Touch the wings of a sparrow
To love, is most beautiful
To love, is time we stow
To love, is to live and grow
Burn in the core of a volcano
To love, greater than all l know
To love, is strength invincible
To give our best we are now able
To love, and to feel our hearts
To love, now that fear departs
To love, is most beautiful
To love, into the sky you go
Touch the wings of a sparrow
To love, is most beautiful
To love, is time we stow
To love, is to live and grow
Burn in the core of a volcano
To love, greater than all l know
To love, is to burn up the night
To love, is to gain the right
To give meaning to one's life
To love, is to burn up the night
To love, is most beautiful
To love, into the sky you go
Touch the wings of a sparrow
To love, is most beautiful
To love...
Did you hear what they say?
No! What?
He loves Juliet
Who?
Romeo
What, he loves Capulet's daughter?
l heard they spent the night together
lt's not possible! He had betrayed us!
Yes, they left together after the ball
Tybalt saw them
They left town
lt was Benvolio who told us
He had betrayed us
The talk of the avenue is that Romeo is through
The tears shed are tolls, of those ones who sold their souls
The talk of the avenue the son of Montague
Betrayed his nation dishonored his station
But you who live like an angel it seems nothing can disturb you
You think all will end well but life's revenge can be hell
You didn't have the right
Don't talk about rights to me
You didn't have the right
You have nothing on me
You didn't have the right
l think love will always evade you
You didn't have the right
l have no secrets this is true
You didn't have the right
l look at you and feel guilty
You didn't have the right
l don't care what you think of me
You didn't have the right
The only thing that matters you see
You didn't have the right
ls that you love her too
The talk of the avenue once you take her virtue
You will have lost yours and feeling of hate will spur
they said there is no escape for you
Except to save your honor you have to leave this flower
But you who live like an angel it seems nothing can disturb you
You think all will end well but life's revenge can be hell
You didn't have the right
What is it you want me to say
You didn't have the right
Punish me for my straight forward way
You didn't have the right
You, who know exactly who l am
You didn't have the right
Yet still you doubt me, tell me why
You didn't have the right
Why do you still judge me in the end
You didn't have the right
You, my brothers, you my friends
You didn't have the right
l am free like you were
You didn't have the right
Before judged me here
Surely not, it is fate that decides
Of course it is fate that decides
But why the daughter of your enemy
lt was written don't you see?
When all these women wanted thee
No, no, oh, no
But why her it cannot be
l will say this freely whatever l am to be l will live my life for me oh yes
You didn't have the right
Come on, take a look at yourselves
You didn't have the right
You're simply jealous
You didn't have the right
You forgot about all those nights
You didn't have the right
ln which we worried
You didn't have the right
You forgot about the confidence
You didn't have the right
We were bound since childhood
You didn't have the right
When we prayed in silence
You didn't have the right
Well finally here is the chance
You didn't have the right
No, l betrayed no one
You didn't have the right
l don't want an apology
You didn't have the right
With you l was someone
You didn't have the right
Without her l am no one
You didn't have the right
No, l betrayed no one
l don't need anyone's pardon
without her
l am nothing
You didn't have the right
l am nothing
You didn't have the right
You didn't have the right
Women are nothing but lessons to me
l took my first one at fifteen with my father next to me
All their desires and pleasures l have confidence
l am a lover par excellence
Blondes, brunettes l've had all but one
The one that counts
Brother, oh brother the joke has got to stop
l watched you go with him as we grow up
How can she love the child of Montague
An abortive affair void of vice or virtue
lt's the day, lt's the day it's the day, it's the day
Today l am going to make my point to you
My dear friend, l am going to kill you
l am going to kill you, not hurt you
Like she hurt me
Juliet l will make him pay for your frailty
Women are nothing but prison cells
Since fifteen Juliet's heart is where l dwelled
l was never brave or bold enough to tell her
The secret love that l held for her
lt's the day, lt's the day it's the day, it's the day
The day that men will choose to fight
The day the thunderclouds alight
l am going to kill you, not hurt you
Like she hurts me
Romeo l will make you pay for your frailty
My heart betrays me no less
lt's the day even if l fear darkness
lt's the day to die for a jealous spell
lt's the day to die for love as well
Don't talk to me about honor
lt's for love that men will die for
l will find you Romeo, l will kill you Romeo
Then you will know all about
Men who had their hearts ripped out
Well well well Tybalt walks amongst us
Oh Ah...
Mercutio! lf the dog is here
Then the master can't be far off
Oh Ah...
l am looking for Romeo
You're looking for Romeo?
He is looking for Romeo!
l have seen you pursue a lot things, Tybalt!
Glory, fortune, confrontation
But Romeo, never! l don't understand!
Don't worry yourself to much Mercutio
He knows very well why
Tybalt, Tybalt l am going to kill you
Tybalt, Tybalt your smiling is through
Your nothing but a fake No, it is sad to see
Your soul limps but you think it can run free
The sound of your voice the way you walk you see
everything, everything about you makes me ill
Tybalt, Tybalt lt is you l'm going to kill
Mercutio, look at your lot
You have some wit but that's all you've got
You are nothing but a fool, and a lousy poet
And when l hear your name
l block my nose lt's over now!
Since our childhood l have had but one thought
My patience is rewarded with what it has sought
Mercutio, l am going to kill you
Stop! Have you lost your mind stop this from happening
ln your bloodlust it is our way of life you are killing
Stop!
Live, We all want to live
Without this hate, without this death
Live, and discuss, with respect then maybe trust
Free, We are all free to not follow free to refuse
For the love of those you hold dear your mothers, your fair maids
Forget your hate and please sheath your blades
Live, and let us drink to chance
Get drunk, but not on vengeance
Live, We all want to live Without this hate, without this death
Live, and discuss, with respect then maybe trust
Stop! Have you lost your mind Stop this from happening. No!
Death waits its turn you wait yours
Don't make a mistake, the grave error
Live, to know each other better
Live and grow old together, oh,oh,oh...
He hates me so, and for so long, no? Romeo
Too much mercy you know lt's like a cur with rabies
A coward, believing itself menacing
What is it? you think that you are a king? No!
You're the same as us but even less l think
Here you are full of love and you pissed on goodwill
You are like a vulture who waits on the kill
Live,life is an affray, life is not a play
Live!
Free!
Live!
Free!
Live!
Free!
Live!
Free!
Live, we all want to live
Without this hate, without this death
Live, discuss, with respect then maybe trust
Live...
Free!
Live...
Mercutio...
No!
Romeo
Mercutio, You're hurt
No, What is left that can still hurt Mercutio?
But life, Romeo, it's escaping lt's leaving me
You're bleeding!
No, l'm leaving
You were always a little slow
l took the blow below your arm
Oh, Mercutio l'm so sorry...
No, Don't apologize only children say they're sorry
And Juliet loves a man
Oh Mercutio
Don't cry, no, no, love Juliet, Romeo
Love her with all your soul
Love her with all your strength
She'll give you what no woman has ever given to me
Love her Romeo, love her Mercutio!
l die, into dust, but l die, in your arms
Romeo, oh my brother, who will now protect you from harm?
l die so you can live but you are not living
l pass onto another shore l'll be there waiting
Continue your war but continue without me
l die into dust, but l die like royalty
To hell with your families to hell with your feud
Romeo, so gentle your reasoning has left you
Romeo...Romeo
Mercutio, Mercutio
Don't leave me
l beg you, don't leave me
Mercutio...!
Who knew one day No matter how much love you have
God, Life here on earth is nothing but hell
Oh oh...
Tybalt, Tybalt, Tybalt
God, Life on earth, is nothing but hell
Adieu, my friend, Adieu
Tybalt!
You my husband, where were you when Juliet was growing up?
Where were you when l was getting old?
Where were you when he died?
Are you a man or a shadow?
Will you seek vengeance for him
Or do l have to do that for you?
Act man!
Silence!
What is the price?
That we will pay for his life
What is the destiny?
For those who bring death to me
My son has been killed
But all you here know
That Tybalt was first to make the blood flow
The deed is done
To bring it to fruition
l must believe you
l must know too
Where is Romeo?
l swear you must believe me l didn't want this to be
Vengeance is not my nature
Yes, l avenged him that is sure
Was l to do nothing at all?
When l see my brother fall?
You who hate so much
How can you judge us?
We are your children, us three
You alone are on a killing spree
We are nothing but mimes
That imitate your crimes
Oh!
What is the price?
That we will pay for a life
What is the price?
What is the destiny?
For those who bring death to me
Death
What is the price?
That we will pay for a life
What is the price?
What is the destiny?
For those who bring death to me
Ohhhohhhhh...
The deed is done
To bring it to fruition
l must believe you
l must know too
Oh,what is the price...?
Citizens of Verona!
Am l the King of Stupidity?
The Prince of fools reigning over idiots?
l can sentence you to death Romeo!
No!
l will only demand you to leave
You are now banished from this town
And you must leave this instant for Mantoue
Farewell!
Enough, enough my prince, l plead with you not exile for pity's sake, mercy...
To be prince, to be king
To have all the power but no rights
To be prince, in this lowly world
l in the lawless heights
They envy me, but why?
They say HE when they talk about me
They fear me, they believe me
For when they are hot l freeze
Whatever l would do
l'd sacrifice it all, it's true
To watch over all of you
Power, power, power
Whether we be rich whether we be poor
The spirit forever wants more
We all haven't received gods grace
To ensure we are in a happy place
We know not if the devil we will be
Like wind that blows on the sea
l don't know a softer pain
Or a larger pleasure
to gain power
when it is in your hands
ls better than all the gold in the land
When the world is a mirror in hand
Power, power
Power, we love the taste of
Much better than that of love
Much softer than velvet fuzz
Of the women who tend your grove
Power is excitement
And l climax in it's confidence
And when l inseminate it
History is what l contemplated
Power is fantastic
l am a man but made public
ln this world where everything is bought
l am the only one everyone lends to at no cost
ln this world where all is at stake
They give to me or l will take
Amongst dwarves l touch the sky
And l lie, l lie, l lie
Power! Oh, my mates
lf you knew the rate
For death with a smile you would wait
Eternity in one life is my fate
And when uphold justice
of virtue against vice
lt is the same as when l give fatherly advice
l command it's obedience
Power deserves it
We take it or we inherit it
And that day that we quit it
We construct it's myth
Power burns within you
Power makes lose a screw
Power we clamp on to
And when it abandons you
Then you die
Power, power, power...
Oh...
POWER!
Romeo!
Mother, l am banished, l lose Juliet
And l lose my son
l love her!
l love you more than her
We both suffer
How can l live without her?
Living without you will kill me
Good bye mother
Good bye my son...
Mercutio
Tybalt! Oh...
Things never go the way we want them to
Juliet now you know what l already knew
and you cry, you cry my daughter my sister you see
l will burden your misery
God, how men are cold
Oh! men they are all so bold
Oh! God, how men are cold
What then are we supposed to say?
For us who agree with your ways
God you have put us on this plain
Why Would you have us quietly remain?
And watch men die
The prince, when banishing you
Did you know? He saved you
We reclaimed the royal blood of blue
The blood of a Montague
And my poor little lost one, look at you
You don't understand anymore, do you?
God, how men are cold
Oh! men they are all so bold
Oh! God, how men are cold
What then are we supposed to say?
For us who agree with your ways
God you have put us on this plain
Why would you have us quietly remain?
And watch men die
God, how men are cold
Oh! men they are all so bold
Oh! God, how men are cold
What then are we supposed to say?
For us who agree with your ways
God you have put us on this plain
Why Would you have us quietly remain?
And watch men die
God, how men are cold
Oh! men they are all so bold
Oh! God, how men are cold
What then are we supposed to say?
For us who agree with your ways
God you have put us on this plain
Why Would you have us quietly remain?
And watch men die
God...
Juliet, Juliet
l hear the song of the skylark
l will be strong, but be ready
Juliet l must embark
Romeo, Romeo
No, lt's just the nightingale
l fear madness will prevail
lf you leave, Romeo
l don't want
l cannot
Live without you
l love you, l love you
Until the end of the night
To sleep in your embrace
To die face to face
l love you, l love you
A whole life to love you
That human justice is never kind to us
Did it ever love for it to be able to judge us
l love you, yet the next day you will be so far away
l love you, l love you until the end of the night
Sleep in your embrace, die face to face
Sleep in your embrace, die face to face
l love you
Romeo, my mother is coming
l don't want to leave you
Me neither, l am your wife...
Yes forever Juliet...Wait for me l will return...
l will return Romeo!
l will return!
Paris, it's decided you will have my daughter
Paris, to you l abandon my rose my lovely flower
l do it, for her sake so she will not be so blue
From now on her satin heart belongs to you
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow l give you her hand
Juliet, You know the love your father brings you
Juliet, tomorrow your childhood is through
He is giving you to Paris your childhood now are his
And God, your Blesses, gives you to Paris
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow he will have your hand
Women, lack of choice is their plight
Men, they have all the rights
But why are you crying don't you know?
That the hour of happiness is at hand
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow he will have your hand
Nanny, my father want me to marry Paris
He will have your hand
Nanny, why do l have to listen to this?
You don't have a choice
l'd rather die
How would you dare?
l obliged to love him why? This Paris with his good family
l am already married
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
He will have your hand
Juliet how can you still love that one
When your cousin is dead and gone
l beg you, you must say yes
To this suitor, which we promise
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow he will have your hand
Tomorrow, he will have your hand
Tomorrow, he will have your hand
l don't want to, let me be
For pity's sake stop it please
lt's your father you must do what he says
NO!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow he will have your hand
To have a daughter
A little opal
Two eyes that glitter
Skin so pale
To have a daughter
Who becomes a woman
Like a virtuoso
Without one lesson
To have a daughter
With a heart of sand
Gift of a god
Gift of a demon
To have a daughter
ls like doing a crime
And the victim does the time
To have a daughter
She is everything, she is my blood
She is the fruit of me at twenty years old
l curse all her lovers, let it be told
She is everything, she is my blood
l curse all her lovers, let it be told
To have a daughter is to tremble in fear
As she gets made up for one who is a deceiver
To have a daughter is to never more
Treat women as l have done before
To have a daughter
l hate men and their leers
l know their rouses and their cheers
Then will come a day when one will take her
And all the while will call me mister
And so this day and every other
l put my heart in a guarded tower
And l become deaf hearing no other
To have a daughter Hope and belief still go on
Even when my life is gone
She carries deep inside of her
This scintillation from everyone who had their turn
Having loved her cries from a heart that burns
To have a daughter
A little opal
Two eyes that glitter
Skin so pale
To have a daughter
ls like doing a crime
And the victim does the time
To have a daughter
To have a daughter...
Shadows have no need for her
With her, all is a garden
The blue of the sky
ls merely makeup for her eyes
the curve of her neck
Needs no jewelry to be perfect
When l am in her
lt's like l am in a chapel
No one calls to me
l wouldn't answer anyway
When she holds me near
l forget you are there
For her (Friar Laurent!)
l have left everything l care (Help me!)
(They want to marry me off)
For her
Oh, l have even killed a man (l would rather die)
l was in a cage
Like a bird who is too sage
Now, l am feeling rage
Cast out, turn the page
And tonight l cry
Love is not a crime
You must be blind
To see us as victims this time
Open your eyes, open your heart
When you love all sadness departs
As l shuffle through the streets of Mantoue
l feel without her madness will ensue
With her (All this is of no importance)
it never darkens (We pardon your offenses)
With her
Oh...
All is a garden (All of this is of no importance)
The blue of the sky (When we are together)
ls merely makeup for her eyes
When l think of him l tremble
The curve of her neck (ls loving really a crime to us?)
Needs no jewelry to perfect
Why are you preventing us?
When l am in her (Oh...)
lt's like l am in a chapel
No one calls to me
l wouldn't answer anyway
When she holds me near
l forget you are there
Ouhhhhh...
Listen my Juliet Listen to Friar Laurent
Take this vial
A few drops and you will plunge into a sleep
They will think you're dead
Your body will be cold
And when you awake
Romeo will be there
l will send him a letter
He will get it
Have faith, my Juliet
Listen to me
Where do they go
Where do lovers' dreams go?
Their words, their passion
l'll return, l'll wait for you so
God will guide us
Now die l must
Romeo, why is it?
What we evoke?
ls our story
A comedy, a joke?
God will guide us
Now die l must
Romeo, this one game we must play
To not die
l must die a bit
This poison will save us
At dawn l'll return to us
Where do they go?
Where do lovers' dreams go?
Their words their passion
l'll return, l'll wait for you so
God will guide us
What? Juliet is dead?
No!
Go get Lady Capulet... hurry!
Juliet is dead...
Juliet, Juliet, my Juliet!!
Why did you do this?
NO!
l am of no importance
l was his friends since we were infants
l just liked women and l liked to dance
lt's over...
Just yesterday we were
so far, so far from death's door
But lt has descended on our town
like a spider spins its web
We were the kings of everything around
Yes, but now our injuries are too profound
lf tomorrow the clocks would not turn
Still Juliet would not return
And it's me....
Who has to tell him
How will l tell him? How will l tell him?
That the worst has happened
How will l tell him?
That the woman he loves is dead
That all happiness has fled
That youth has reached it's end
All that's left is one friend
How will l tell him? This cruel chagrin
How will l tell him?
A family l have never known
l roamed the streets and called it home
And whenever l lose a friend
l then become an orphan
Mercutio sang that life is beautiful
l truly believed it too
Mercutio will never sing again
Here l am, lost and without kin
We were the kings of everything around
Yes, but now our injuries are too profound
Even if tomorrow, thoughts are repenting
Juliet still would not be living
And it's me....
Who has to tell him
How will l tell him? How will l tell him?
That the worst has happened
How will l tell him?
The woman he loves has just died
And when she left she had inside
Half of his love he had for her
Now she takes it from him forever
How will l tell him? This cruel chagrin How will l tell him?
How will l tell him? How will l tell him?
That the worst has happened How will l tell him?
That the woman he loves is dead
That all happiness has fled
That youth has reached it's end
All that's left is one friend
How will l tell him? This cruel chagrin
How will l tell him?
How will i tell him...?
oh oh, oh oh...
oh oh, oh oh...
Benvolio, What are you doing there? Wake up
You're sleeping you idiot!
You came from Verona give me some news!
Tell me about Juliet
l can't stand it here
Romeo wait
Come, tell me!
Come on, tell me!
Tell me now!
Romeo!
Juliet is dead!
Romeooooo !
What have you done to her that she had to go?
What have you done to her? What was the row?
You have won in part by keeping us apart
What have you said to her that she had preferred?
To die so far away from me
That l wasn't even there To hold her close to me
What have you done to her that she has left me?
The weight of your regrets transferred onto my agony
lt's over, l must go
l wanted to know about life and now l know
l am so spent
Nothing l demand
Just to extend, and take her hand
And lay it on my heart and let the pain depart
lt's over, l must go
l wanted to know about life and now l know
Her kisses of honey
Her eyes soft as satin
l will take these feelings with me
And bring them to the heavens
Adieu my Juliet
Eternity awaits us
lt's over, l am leaving
l found how to forget about peace seeking
l am so spent
l want to know nothing more
Only to extend
and enter through the mirror
And reclaim Juliet until time's end
She waits for me...
Romeo, you came
Thank you Lord
Romeo wake up, let's go!
Come, let us go
Romeo, look, l am alive
You know that Friar Laurent had warned you
Romeo, say something!
Romeo, answer me!
My love, answer me, answer...
ANSWER!!!!
Why stay around and grow old here?
ln a world where you no longer reside
Really what choices are there?
When the one you love commits suicide
Don't look at me to understand
Don't look for anything from me
Burning in love in ashes you stand
Yet keeps you out so you freeze
Me, l'll die for love
Me, l'll die for love
Romeo, Romeo
Life without you passes so quickly
Romeo, l love you so completely
For tonight the day into darkness slips
Without the taste of you on my lips
Romeo, Romeo
l am coming soon wait for me
Romeo, l love you so completely
For tomorrow the sun will come forth
Without the taste of you on my mouth
Maybe you had suffered much too
l have also received a lot for you
l leave you with your hostilities
But, l will depart far from thee
Me, l'll die for love
Me, l'll die for love
Romeo, Romeo
Life without you passes so quickly
Romeo, l love you so completely
For tonight the day into darkness slips
Without the taste of you on my lips
Romeo, Romeo
l am coming soon wait for me
Romeo, l love you so completely
For tomorrow the sun will come forth
Without the taste of you on my mouth
l no longer know, l no longer know
lf l believe in man and my belief is low
That God is on my side
Oh,l no longer know l am lost l confide
For you l abandoned everything l have given you my soul to take
For you l renounced everything women and the flesh that slakes
l believed in your kindness but mine l have lost
l can no longer love
All these men just fuel my disgust
l envy the apostles, l envy those who's belief is in place
l am a man like all the others
who gently drowns and loses his faith
l no longer know, l no longer know
lsn't it you who said?
Men should love then you see that they are dead
Oh, l no longer know, l feel dejected
For you l have forgiven, for you l have done good
For you l have listened to their secrets as mine would
A little more each day
Would grow and splay
l scream but you listen to what l say My love for you has frayed
Oh God this is my prayer to you, the same as my brothers would say
l am a man as are they
On my knees to you l pray and l am dismayed
Nonetheless l commit to memory before l commit blasphemy
To say that l love you to whomever l run into
Life was simple l had enough love to impart
But the ink of the gospels has dried with my heart
Oh God of all men
You who are almighty
Listen to the voice of one man who pleads from his knees
He is on the verge of insanity
l no longer know, l am lost
l no longer know, l no longer know
lsn't it you who said?
Men should love then you see that they are dead
Oh, l no longer know, l am lost, oh...
l no longer know. No, l no longer know
lf l believe in man and my belief is low
That God is on my side
Oh, l no longer know l am lost l confide, oh
l no longer know No!...
l no longer know
Our lives appear to be
Nothing but ships lost at sea
Why should our lives go on
When our children are dead and gone
And God and man can see
Exactly what we can be
l pray their souls of crystal
will pardon us for this evil
That our gods are in dismal
Let us make them
Make them rest peacefully
For their love will never be
We're the ones to judge we're the ones to blame
They are in heaven we are doomed to flames
This is where the sun sets on Romeo and Juliet
We're the ones to judge we're the ones to blame
They are in heaven we are doomed to flames
This is where the sun sets on Romeo and Juliet
Guilty, guilty
the whole world
Will judge us
To love (Guilty)
is the most beautiful (Guilty)
is to live and grow (The whole world)
will judge us
To love (Guilty)
into the sky you go (Guilty)
The whole world
To love... (will judge us)
To love, into the sky you go (Guilty, guilty)
ls most beautiful (The whole world will judge us)
To love, into the sky you go (Guilty, guilty)
ls most beautiful (The whole world will judge us)
To love...

Ladies and Gentlemen
We're especially lucky tonight to welcome not only the TV cameras but
also our producer and composer Mr. Gerard Presgurvic
Are you excited?
Sing together!
The kings of the world always live on top
The vista is great but they lack the thought
Of what the people below think of them
That we are the kings and them just men
The kings of the world in their ivory towers
Sit by themselves in crowded rooms and glower
Worrying from the first rays of morning light
While we down below dance away the night
We make love, we live life
Day after day night after night
What good does it do us to be on earth?
lf it is to live our lives on our knees
We know how fast time is fleeting
To live is the most important thing
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad
The kings of the world are afraid of all
They lay their traps fearing they will fall
They protect themselves whether it be pet or beast
And finally even from love they retreat
The kings of the world wage constant warfare
There is enough land but never to share
We don't want to fight their war
We don't even know what we are fighting for
We make love, we live life
Day after day night after night
What good does it do us to be on earth?
lf it is to live our lives on our knees
We know how fast time is fleeting
To live is the most important thing
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad
What's up?
l can't hear you!
We make love, we live life
Day after day night after night
What good does it do us to be on earth?
lf it is to live our lives on our knees
What good does it do us to be on earth?
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad
we are really not bad
We know how fast time is fleeting
Morales sometimes drive us mad We know that we are really not bad
We make love, we live life
Day after day night after night
What good does it do us to be on earth?
lf it is to live our lives on our knees
We know how fast time is fleeting
What good does it do us to be on earth?
Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad
