In Verona, there once lived two rival
families,
the Montagues and the Capulets. |
| 2 |
Their feuding was endless,
and fatal to them both. |
| 3 |
Staining the thresholds
of their palaces with blood. |
| 4 |
Like a ray of sunshine in a stormy
sky,
Juliet had appeared. |
| 5 |
And Romeeo loved her. |
| 6 |
They loved each other,
forsaking their family names. |
| 7 |
Fatal destiny and blind
passions!
The lovers paid with their lives... |
| 8 |
...to end the century-old hatreds,
that saw the birth of their love. |
| 9 |
The hour of pleasure flies past.
We must seize it as it goes by! |
| 10 |
Gather the roses that bloom for us
in joy and delight. |
| 11 |
These mysterious lovers
tempt us
with a smile and a glance! |
| 12 |
And our hearts are willing accomplices
to the whims of chance! |
| 13 |
Night of rapture and madness!
The young men hasten and pursue us. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Even the least affectionate ones will
surrender
to our charms and be taken in our snares! |
| 17 |
Well, Paris, what do you think
of the Capulet's feast? |
| 18 |
Both wealth and beauty
adorn the guests of this palace. |
