Translation

Sometimes I like to translate songs. This one is from Roméo et Juliette, which is a French musical that was massively popular about ten years ago or so, and which fourteen year old me was quite obsessed with. It's very strange, and very cheesy, and very French, but the music is extremely catchy.

This song is sung by Roméo (long hair), Benvolio (blond hair), and Mercutio (no hair), as a sort of introduction to them and their views on life. Video from the filmed live version of the musical is under the cut, with translation.
