Second Act
-Mercutio, have you heard? -I＊ve heard.
It's not possible. 每I don't understand. -How could he? 每They say he＊s in love with Juliet.
每A Capulet? How could he do that? 每To his family?! 每Let＊s not forget who they were
and on whose side they stood! 每And who we are! -They are killers! They curse and slander us!
They spent the night together. 每He＊s crazy. -It's insane. 每Tybalt saw them.
There＊s going to be bloodshed.
Here you are at last, Romeo.
-A nice little ruckus we have here. -I have to talk to you!
-We have to talk to you, too!
I hear that Romeo's going to get knifed.
And that he deserves it for his stupid thoughtless kisses!
I hear Romeo betrayed us. Both families are furious - and Tybalt wants blood!
You're in trouble and you don＊t even notice. Your head's in the clouds but you＊ll pay for it soon!
You had no right! 每Don＊t talk about rights! You had no right! 每You have no right to say anything!
You＊ve lost your heart! 每Have you ever been in love? You＊ve lost your mind! 每I have no secrets from you!
You had no right! 每You're both mad! You had no right! 每I＊m ashamed for you!
Can＊t you see? 每This is the only way! It＊s a shame! 每Trust me!
You know how to pick up girls to screw.
But this time you screwed up which girl to pick.
Two families' lives? No woman is worth that much!
Just salvage what you can and go on back to Rosa!
You're in trouble and you don＊t even notice. Your head's in the clouds but you＊ll pay for it soon!
You had no right! 每No limits when you＊re in love! You had no right! 每You can conquer anything!
You＊ve lost your heart! 每I＊ve waited so long! You＊ve lost your mind! 每 It's happened at last!
You had no right! 每You＊ve judged me too hastily. You had no right! 每You're my brothers!
-Can＊t you see? 每I＊m as free as you are! 每It＊s a shame! 每Why do you have to judge me?
每You think it＊s fate? 每It＊s fate! 每An enemy's daughter? 每You can＊t argue with fate!
-Any woman would have you! 每No, no, oh no! - Think twice!
I have to take charge of my life. She＊s the only one I want!
You have no right! 每That's all a load of crap! You have no right! 每You＊re just jealous!
You＊ve lost your heart! 每Have you forgotten You＊ve lost your mind! 每all the fun we've had together?
You had no right! 每What about our childhood? You had no right! 每We were all one then!
Can＊t you see? 每We promised ourselves we'd be together forever!
You had no right! 每I did nothing wrong＃ You had no right! 每 so why should I apologize?
You had no right! 每I became a somebody with you＃ You had no right! 每 But now I＊m nobody without her!
You had no right! 每I betrayed no one You had no right! 每I don＊t need your forgiveness
You had no right! 每I have nothing if I don＊t have her! You had no right! 每I can't live without her!
You had no right! None!
Tybalt, sir, I hear that there's some trouble brewing...
Mind your own business!
Your father wouldn't treat me that way. And he＊d never let that thing happen, either.
My father was my father, and I am me. Get out!
Tybalt, what time is the mass tonight? -At half past seven, like every year,
in memory of my father's untimely death.
Good. Everyone will be there, to honor my brother. We're all counting on you.
My childhood treasures were all stolen
The dreams of a child are all treasures.
But grown-ups wouldn't leave me alone
They infected me with harshness and cold sense.
"You'll be an important man someday," they said.
"You'll have to fight for the people you love."
I grew up among the shadows of their feelings
I can still hear it today: ※Tybalt, you always have to win!§
And now loneliness holds me tighter and tighter It can overwhelm me anytime.
Their sin is my curse.
I've always been my parents' puppet. They taught me to thirst for blood.
What they wanted is burnt into me.
I do without question what their thirst for revenge demands.
It's burnt into me - they never let me take another road
It's burnt into me - my life is full of violence.
They're proud that their son is ready to fight. "You'll live or die for us!"
It's burnt into me, what they wanted.
I do without question what their thirst for revenge demands.
It's burnt into me - they never let me take another road,
It's burnt into me - my life is full of violence.
They're proud that their son is ready to fight. "You'll live or die for us!"
My childhood treasures were all stolen.
The dreams of a child are all treasures.
But grown-ups wouldn't leave me alone
They infected me with harshness and cold sense.
There's going to be trouble, Mercutio. Nothing＊s happened all day. It＊s too calm.
Nothing is going to happen. Our Capulet friends have had time to sleep it off...
They had too much wine at the ball, that's all. -I hope so. But I＊m still afraid for Romeo.
Hey, you!
Capulets!
Where's your friend? If the dogs are here their master can't be far either.
Are you looking for Romeo? He＊s looking for Romeo!
I've seen you look for a lot of things, my handsome Tybalt.
For luck, for money, for a fight...
Once maybe even for a woman. But now for Romeo＃ I don＊t understand.
Mercutio, don＊t make trouble for yourself. Where is that cad?
Out nailing a pretty lady.
Make sure he doesn't nail you next!
Too close to home, Mercutio. Where is Romeo?
Tybalt, Tybalt, what's going to happen to you? I'm going to cut out your heart,
then chop it up and fry it, and throw it to my dogs for a snack.
Then I won't have to see you sneering or hear the poison you spew out.
Tybalt, Tybalt... I suggest you wet yourself!
Mercutio, just look at yourself! I＊ll step on you like the worm you are.
You＊re a puppet, a slimebag, a clown.
I've been waiting since childhood to pierce your heart with steel!
Mercutio, you're a dead man!
Stop! You're mad! You have no right to do this! And if you fight you'll be put to death! Enough!
Live, live and let live! Our goal is life, not death.
These words are hurting what is good. We have to do something!
Protect life. The goal is near - we can do it!
Don＊t hate, don＊t fight, enough! You need friends and family and love.
Why are you driven by revenge? The abyss is yawning beneath you!
Live, live and let live! Our goal is life, not death.
These words are hurting what is good. We have to do something!
You coward, you breaker of hearts: stand and fight! I'll make it fast.
Death is waiting for you today. Accept it, embrace it!
No! Life should be protected! We'll all die as old men!
He hates us, he always has. Romeo, there's no backing down.
He's a coward, a dog who's all bark and no bite!
You're a fool and you talk too much. But this is the last game you'll ever play!
You're a worthless pain and I'll get you! You＊ll pay for everything you've done!
Come, your fate is waiting for you! Life is just/not a theatre!
Come and get it!
A plague on both your houses! -You're wounded. Show me!
That a dog, a cat, a rat, a mouse would scratch me to death＃
It must be just a scratch. Show me...
Romeo, you've always been clumsy. Why did you get between us?
See? It's just a scratch.
Mercutio＃ -Don＊t say you're sorry. Only children do that.
And it＊s a man that Juliet loves.
Love her, she can give you what no other woman can.
Good-bye, Romeo!
Mercutio! Look at me.
I end here in the dust, but in your arms.
What will happen to you without me?
I die now so that you can live. But maybe you＊ll follow me.
Don't worry, I'll greet you on the other side of the void＃
The fight will go on - but without me.
I leave as a king and I leave behind only dogs!
But with my last words I curse all Verona!
Romeo, I＊m worried for you. Be careful＃
Don＊t go. Don＊t leave me, my brother! Mercutio?
Who will I open my soul to now? Why, God, why is life hell for us?
Tybalt!
Why, God, why is our life a living hell?
Good-bye, my friend, may God be with you.
What happened? -Tybalt!
Tybalt＊s dead! Where were you when he was killed?
Tybalt＊s dead! Where were you while I got old and Juliet grew up?
Where were you when they killed my brother, the way they just killed his son?
I want vengeance! Are you a man? Or will I have to do it myself? 每Listen-
In the holy name of Christ, stop! What happened?
My nephew, Mercutio 每 dead. Tybalt of the Capulets 每 dead.
What will be the price? Will a murderer go free?
Can the punishment be anything but death?
My son killed, true - but Tybalt did it first!
That cursed man murdered Mercutio.
An awful deed. My own kin.
How did it happen? Tell me now.
It was madness＃ He killed Mercutio, I swear.
I never had anything to do with revenge but now I＊m its tool.
He died in my arms and I became a mindless killer.
You are all hypocrites!
Waiting now to see me punished, when you are responsible too.
The sin is all of ours, because life is worth nothing here!
What will be the price? Will a murderer go free?
Can the punishment be anything but death?
What will be the price? Will a murderer go free?
Can the punishment be anything but death?
An awful deed! Stupidity reigns here.
Past sins, past pride destroying the present.
What will be the price?
Romeo must not live - he killed Tybalt!
And then who will pay for my kin, for Mercutio?
Not Romeo! The law said Tybalt had to be killed!
That was my right! Romeo usurped it!
I send him into exile 每 forever! Silence!
Get ready, young Montague.
You have one hour to get out of our city.
After that, if anybody finds you here, they can kill you!
Anyone who sympathizes with a killer is a killer in my eyes too.
Father, help me, my little girl will die if she can＊t see her beloved Romeo again!
Nothing ever changes. There＊s a curse on our souls.
My poor little Juliet, your wedding day turning into mourning.
I know you're suffering. I hurt for you too.
O God on high, why is there no way out?
Why are people's hearts made of stone and ice?
Tell me, Lord: why have you left us? Why do you strike down your servants?
Why are people so cruel? Why is revenge burning everything to ash? Have pity on us, Lord!
Run to Juliet, what are you waiting for? That＊s the only place you'll find consolation.
You＊ll begin a new life in Mantua. Juliet will wait for you. What an unlucky couple!
O God on high, why do these people only want to see each other's sins?
How many prayers do we need? Who will forgive them?
Tell us, our creator, why can＊t we wash away all the blood? Why do we live with its stain?
O God on high, why is there no way out?
Why are people's hearts made of stone and ice?
Tell me, Lord: why have you left us? Why do you strike down your servants?
Why are people so cruel? Why is revenge burning everything to ash? Have pity on us, Lord!
O God on high, why do these people only want to see each other's sins?
How many prayers do we need? Who will forgive them?
Tell us, our creator, why can＊t we wash away all the blood? Why do we live with its stain?
Why?
Be strong, Juliet! I hear the lark's song, crying.
I have to go. The cursed law commands it.
Don＊t go yet, Romeo! That's only the nightingale you hear.
I'm losing my mind. Hold my hand!
I don＊t want to＃ I can＊t live like this anymore!
Just hold me like this til the night is over
Hold me in your arms and I'll die with you!
I want to be with you until the last minute of my life
I＊ll stay if you want me to, even if it means my death.
I will be by your side til they come to drag me away.
Oh no, please, life is waiting for you outside!
Just hold me like this til the night is over
Hold me in your arms and I'll die with you!
Hold me in your arms and I'll die with you at last!
Juliet! Look out, your mother＊s coming! -Just one more kiss.
-Send me a message. 每As soon as I can.
-I＊m your wife. 每Forever, Juliet!
Paris, I give you my daughter＊s hand.
My son, the city's most beautiful rose is yours.
I know you'll take care of her.
She can lean on you and forget her grief. That will put things right.
A new day comes: This wedding will take place tomorrow!
You know your father loves you so much,
and Count Paris deserves your hand.
He＊ll protect you and you＊ll give him a son.
You＊ll be happy 每 you will see that.
A new day comes: This wedding will take place tomorrow!
Not one more blessed word!
A girl must be obedient.
Why are you crying? A new happy life awaits you.
A new day comes: This wedding will take place tomorrow!
Nurse! My father promised me to Paris.
But why should I marry him?
I＊ll commit suicide! But I can＊t be his wife.
My vows bind me. I have a husband: Romeo!
You'll marry tomorrow. Nothing could be better.
How could you love someone like that? A killer?
For god＊s sake, don＊t say no! Just marry Paris and ask no questions!
A new day comes: This wedding will take place tomorrow!
No way out! Where can I turn? Where's my hope?
Your father＊s decided, and his word binds you. 每No!!!
A new day comes: This wedding will take place tomorrow!
An angel in an earthly garden. There everything is wonderful,
Even the sky is a deeper blue You could burn in the fire of her eyes
When I＊m with her the silence of a church surrounds us,
When she holds me tight, The world around us disappears 每
All my trouble and pain are far, far away!
I would die for her! -Friar Lawrence!
Help us! They want me to get married! To Paris.
-My blood＊s boiling. They＊re hunting for me! -But I would rather die!
Tonight I'll shout my secret to the sky!
Love is not a sin. We won't be martyrs! 每Wait here, Juliet!
Let the dirty water flow But if you love me, peace will find us.
I＊m going to Mantua and it drives me crazy that she＊s not here with me.
An angel in a garden on earth! -Nothing else matters compared to him!
Even the sky is a deeper blue. 每I just want to be near him.
I miss him so much I＊m shaking. Why is that a sin? Why can＊t be together?
When I＊m with her the silence of a church surrounds us.
When he/she holds me tight, the world around us disappears. All our troubles are far, far away.
Juliet, listen to Friar Lawrence.
Take this potion. You will sleep so deeply that everyone will think you're dead.
Your body will be cold and still. When you wake in the crypt, Romeo will be waiting for you.
I＊m sending him a letter. You will return to Mantua together.
Benvolio.
Benvolio, take this letter to Romeo in Mantua. It's important... it＊s about love.
About love?
I＊ll leave the city at dawn.
In my grave the nightmares attack me.
I＊ll lie among bones with the worms.
Will I ever wake up? Or will there be a mistake?
Happiness＃ marriage＃ such feverish words.
Why do we need this charade, Romeo?
Will I ever wake up? Or will there be a mistake?
There＊s no other way. If they need a play, we'll play our parts.
A new life is waiting for us 每 But only if I die a little.
I＊ll be waiting for you. The poison will help me.
Beautiful dream, deep sleep, come to her, A new life, new happiness will find her
When she wakes.
Juliet. It's time to get to church!
Get up, dear. Not even a word for me?
Juliet...
Juliet＊s dead! My darling, my little one!
Juliet! What have you done? Juliet! Cursed, awful day!
Juliet's dead!
每The day of judgement is near. 每Who＊s responsible?
-She killed herself. 每The house of Capulet is ruined. -It＊s God＊s punishment.
Death stole my love! Fate cheated me!
The heavens are raging The world is on the brink of destruction
-Our life is torn to pieces. -I don＊t understand why.
Curses rebounding on those who uttered them. Everyone wants revenge!
-It＊s Romeo＊s fault! 每The Montagues! -It's all his fault! 每Find him!
Goodness and kindness are not enough to get us through this ordeal
Let no one else be sacrificed! Who＊s there in the dark?
We must stop the evil! This is an emergency Verona is drowning in the mire!
Hell has come alive today Death has his harvest
Madness has overtaken the city, barking and looking for prey
The madness will get you! It's in the air and under the ground
Hell has come alive today Death has his harvest
It will get you!
We need level heads! Danger is at our heels
Protect your children, close your windows Repent your sins.
Our faith is destroyed No refuge anywhere
Hell has come alive today Death has his harvest
Madness has overtaken the city Our end has come!
It's in the air and under the stones of the street -There＊s no shelter here for any of us.
Our end has come! Hell＊s horrors are coming -Get away from this madness!
About love?
What good is love - his beloved is dead.
Why must I be the one to tell my dear friend that his beloved is dead?
None of us was ready for this For the end to come like this
Destruction wove a net over our city like a giant spider
We lived like kings, laughing and playing
But the fun and games are over now. Nothing can bring Juliet back.
And I have to tell him.
How can I tell him? When he hugs me, when he looks at me,
How can I tell him that his love is dead, that his happiness is gone?
And our youth is over. All he's got left is this one friend.
Why must I be the one to tell him? How can I tell him?
I was an orphan who grew up on the streets, My friends my only family
And now a friend has died And I'm an orphan again
I believed Mercutio＊s song 每 ※Life is beautiful§
But now he's silent and I＊m alone again. Love!
We lived like kings, laughing and playing
But no friend or enemy could bring Juliet back now.
And I＊m the one who brings the news.
How can I tell him what cannot be told? How can I tell him it＊s over?
That his love is dead That the future is empty
That the whole world is against us, And there＊s no one on our side.
Why am I the one to tell him?
How can I tell him the dreadful news? When he hugs me and looks at me
How can I tell him that his beloved is dead, that his happiness is over
And our youth is over. All he's got left is this one friend.
How can I tell him? Why must it be me?
How can I tell him?
Benvolio, my dear friend, you came! You＊ve found me!
What news do you bring from Verona? How's Juliet? How is my love? Tell me!
Juliet...
Juliet＊s dead!
Romeo!
Paris.
A killer sent to exile! -A man come to meet his death.
The law forbids you to come here. Don＊t think you'll get away with it!
Come with me, or I＊ll kill you right here!
Have pity on me! Leave me alone with her. Death is having his harvest,
And he'll take you too. Get away!
Live! Live and let live. Our goal is life, not death
Understand what I say See the good in others
Protect those who are afraid. Love the living. People want peace.
What are you babbling about? You're here desecrating the dead!
Come fight like a man! Don't you dare run!
Live! Live and let live. Our goal is life, not death
Understand what I say See the good in others
You'll never understand the pain of a broken heart. No!
My bride lies there waiting faithfully for me to join her.
There＊s no way out of this! Come with me or fight right here!
You're talking nonsense.
She's my wife.
Defend yourself, you bastard If I die here, I'll take you with me!
An untimely end.
But let it be if there＊s no other way!
We've come into the grave together... We'll go on to Hell together too!
Come, fate is waiting for you, Life is just/not a theatre!
Why does it hurt? Why is my heart full of fear that my faith will turn into dust?
All our dreams turn to stone, Life disappearing into nothingness!
Why is my heart afraid, why is my soul shaking from the thought that everything will turn to dust,
That the world will turn to ice where only the music of the wind will be heard!
My buddies and friends - always so near and dear to me,
It's strange - why don＊t you feel that death is lurking all around us?
We were making jokes and laughing all the time,
But now the famous Romeo is defeated by fear.
Why does it hurt? Why is my heart full of fear that my faith will turn into dust?
All our dreams turn to stone, Life disappearing into nothingness!
Why is my heart afraid, why is my soul shaking from the thought that everything will turn to dust,
That the world will turn to ice Where only the music of the wind will be heard!
Why is my heart afraid, why is my soul shaking from the thought that everything will turn to dust,
That the world will turn to ice where only the music of the wind will be-
Romeo.
No!
You are gone from the earth and I can't stay without you.
If you don't exist anymore I have no right to be alive.
What happens to me and to him is of no concern to anyone,
The beautiful death of a pair in love 每 Light and smoke into nothing.
Hold me, Romeo, just like I hold you!
All of you let this happen! Love means nothing to any of you!
Live in anger and pain if you want! Someone's waiting for me in the void.
Wait for me, Romeo! I＊ll follow you in a minute!
My love, my love. You've passed on. But my heart is not afraid.
If your sweet lips do not answer There's nothing left to interest me.
My love, my love Just wait and I＊ll follow you.
My past is just a dream. I'll leave this world with the taste of your kiss on my lips.
What is faith worth? How can I have faith when nothing helps?
Oh Lord, why have you left us? Why do we need this pain?
You＊ve known me for so long. My soul is yours.
For you I gave up the pleasures of the body.
Our peace is destroyed. Strife rules us and brings us eternal night.
I＊m so jealous of everyone whose faith is strong.
But I＊m a weak human being drowning in the flood, and asking for faith.
What is faith worth, if you let this tragedy happen?
Man kills his own kind Why do we need this pain?
I preached to the people. They confessed their secrets to me and my burden kept growing.
It became heavier and more painful,
I can＊t bear it anymore A sinner is praying to you.
This was all my fault - I was the one who married them. But you＊ve abandoned me.
Why did you will it this way? I can't stop blaming myself.
It was not so long ago that I never swore and I really believed:
※Life is not hard, love is enough.§ But now the gospels are ash inside me.
God, up there in the sky, who knows nothing and sees nothing, look at me.
You＊ll see a lunatic and regret all you＊ve done!
Why do we need this pain?
What is faith worth? What is it worth if you let all this vileness happen?
Man kills his own kind Why do we need this pain?
What is faith worth? How can I believe if it doesn't help, if God casts me off!
This way faith is worth nothing!
Now that they are dead we're burning in hell＊s fire.
Without our children what is our life worth?
Our ship is sinking, We have no blessings left.
Their souls were rare pearls. Why did we drive them away?
We can suffer and blame ourselves, but there is no absolution.
May they rest in peace, Let this light burn for them!
We're destined for hell and we'll all burn,
But heaven awaits Romeo and Juliet.
We're destined for hell and we'll all burn, but heaven awaits Romeo and Juliet.
Guilty. The guilty suffer. The world will judge!
Guilty. The guilty suffer. -Love with all your heart
Guilty, all of us, burning 每Let our souls not fear.
Guilty. The world will say we're all guilty! -Preach their love!
Raise your heart to the sky 每 Because that＊s how the world will judge:
Love!

The End.
