Roméo kiffe Juliette [English translation]

Romeo lives on the ground floor of the third building

Juliette in the flat in front of it,on the last floor

They both are sixteen and everyday when they see each other

Grows in their gazes a need to share

They cross the line on their first date

Under an autumn weather ,their bodies are drenched

They kiss like crazy without a care about the wind and the cold

Because love knows seasons that reason doesn't know about

Chorus:

Romeo likes Juliette and Juliette likes Romeo

If the sky isn't kind, screw the weather

Love under the storm, a god's love, a man's love

Love, bravery and two kids out of boundaries

Juliette and Romeo meet in secret

Not because people would mock them

But because Juliette's father wears a kippah

And Romeo's goes to the mosque everyday

So they lie to their families, they work like pros

If there's no place for their love, they'll create the scenery

They love each other at the cinema, a friend's house, in the subway

Because love has places that fathers don't know about

Chorus

Romeo's father is angry, he suspects something

Juliette's family is jewish, don't go near her!

But Romeo argues and fights back

Who cares if she's jewish, look at how pretty she is!

So their love stays hidden where his father isn't looking

He give her the luxury he can afford

She gets sandwiches and cheeseburgers

Because love has ways that money doesn't know about

Chorus

But things get messy when Juliette's father

Finds messages he shouldn't have read

A text on the phone and a chatroom

He punishes her,she can't go out anymore

Romeo struggles in the third building's hallway

Despite his friend Mercutio, his joy fades away

His princess is close but locked under a roof

Because love knows jails that reason disgraces

But Juliette and Romeo change the story and run away

As if they love each other to life rather than to death

No cyanide bottle, may Shakespeare see no offense

Because love knows paths that poisons don't know about

Chorus

Romeo likes Juliette and Juliette likes Romeo

If the sky isn't kind, screw the weather

Love in a reactionary and insulting storm

Love and two kids, ahead of their time
