Le duel [English translation]

Tybalt, Tybalt, you’re going to die

Tybalt, Tybalt, your laughter is finished

You are a fop...no, you are worse!

Your soul limps, but you think to run

The sound of your voice, your way of walking...

Everything about you makes me sick

Tybalt, Tybalt, I’m going to kill you

Mercutio, look at yourself!

You have spirit, but that’s all you’ve got

You’re a buffoon, a failed poet...

And when I hear your name

I hold my nose. Now, it’s finished!

Since childhood, I had only one idea

Finally, my patience will be rewarded

Mercutio, I’m going to kill you

Stop! You’re mad. You don’t have the right.

In killing here, you kill our ideas and our laws

Stop!

Live, we all want to live

Without the hate, without dying of it...

Live and talk with respect

And even love

Free, we are all free

Not to follow, to refuse

For those who love you, your mothers, your wives

Forget the hate, sheath your weapons

Live and drink to chance

Get drunk, but not on vengeance

Live, we all want to live

Without the hate, without dying of it...

Live and talk with respect

And even love

Stop! You’re mad. You don’t have the right, no.

Death awaits its hour, wait for yours

Don’t make this mistake, don’t take the fault

Live to understand each other, live and grow old together

He hates me so, it’s been so long, no, Romeo...

It’s too much, it’s like a dog who has rabies,

A coward who believes in his courage

What are you about? You think you are king? No!

You are like us , but worse than us

Here you are, full of love and you piss on tenderness

You are like the vultures who await any weakness

Live, live, this is battle, life is not a theatre

Live, free

Live, we all want to live, without the hate, without dying of it

Live and talk, with respect and even love

Live...
