Roméo & Juliette: De la haine à l'amour (2002) - full transcript

Women are nothing but lessons to me

l took my first one at fifteen
with my father next to me

All their desires and pleasures
l have confidence

l am a lover par excellence

Blondes, brunettes l've had all but one

The one that counts

Cousins, we're cousins
What a good joke!

I saw her grow up
now I see her leave with him

How can she love the son of Montague

An abortive affair void of vice or virtue

lt's the day, lt's the day
it's the day, it's the day



Today l am going to make my point to you

My dear friend, l am going to kill you

l am going to kill you, no - hurt you

Like she hurt me

Juliet l will make him pay for your weakness

Women are nothing but prison cells

Since fifteen Juliet's heart is
where l dwelled

l was never brave
or bold enough to tell her

The secret love that l held for her

lt's the day, lt's the day
it's the day, it's the day

The day that men will choose to fight

The day the thunderclouds alight

l am going to kill you, not hurt you

Like she hurts me



Romeo l will make you pay for your frailty

My heart betrays me no less

lt's the day even if l fear darkness

lt's the day to die for a jealous spell

lt's the day to die for love as well

Don't talk to me about honor

lt's for love that men will die for

l will find you Romeo, l will kill you Romeo

Then you will know all about

Men who had their hearts ripped out

Well well well Tybalt walks amongst us

Oh Ah...

Mercutio! lf the dog is here

Then the master can't be far off

Oh Ah...

l am looking for Romeo

You're looking for Romeo?

He is looking for Romeo!

l have seen you pursue
a lot things, Tybalt!

Glory, fortune, confrontation

But Romeo, never! l don't understand!

Don't worry yourself to much Mercutio

He knows very well why

Tybalt, Tybalt l am going to kill you

Tybalt, Tybalt your smiling is through

Your nothing but a fake
No, it is sad to see

Your soul limps but you think
it can run free

The sound of your voice the way
you walk you see

everything, everything about you
makes me ill

Tybalt, Tybalt lt is you l'm going to kill

Mercutio, look at your lot

You have some wit
but that's all you've got

You are nothing but a fool, and a lousy poet

And when l hear your name

l block my nose
lt's over now!

Since our childhood
l have had but one thought

My patience is rewarded
with what it has sought

Mercutio, l am going to kill you

Stop! Have you lost your mind
stop this from happening

ln your bloodlust it is our way
of life you are killing

Stop!

Live, We all want to live

Without this hate, without this death

Live, and discuss, with respect
then maybe trust

Free, We are all free to not follow
free to refuse

For the love of those you hold dear
your mothers, your fair maids

Forget your hate and please
sheath your blades

Live, and let us drink to chance

Get drunk, but not on vengeance

Live, We all want to live
Without this hate, without this death

Live, and discuss, with respect
then maybe trust

Stop! Have you lost your mind
Stop this from happening. No!

Death waits its turn you wait yours

Don't make a mistake, the grave error

Live, to know each other better

Live and grow old together, oh,oh,oh...

He hates me so, and for so long, no? Romeo

Too much mercy you know
lt's like a cur with rabies

A coward, believing itself menacing

What is it? you think that
you are a king? No!

You're the same as us but even less l think

Here you are full of love
and you pissed on goodwill

You are like a vulture who waits on the kill

Live,life is an affray, life is not a play

Live!

Free!

Live!

Free!

Live!

Free!

Live!

Free!

Live, we all want to live

Without this hate, without this death

Live, discuss, with respect
then maybe trust

Live...

Free!

Live...

Mercutio...

No!

Romeo

Mercutio, You're hurt

No, What is left that
can still hurt Mercutio?

But life, Romeo, it's escaping
lt's leaving me

You're bleeding!

No, l'm leaving

You were always a little slow

l took the blow below your arm

Oh, Mercutio l'm so sorry...

No, Don't apologize
only children say they're sorry

And Juliet loves a man

Oh Mercutio

Don't cry, no, no, love Juliet, Romeo

Love her with all your soul

Love her with all your strength

She'll give you what
no woman has ever given to me

Love her Romeo, love her
Mercutio!

l die, into dust, but l die, in your arms

Romeo, oh my brother, who will now
protect you from harm?

l die so you can live
but you are not living

l pass onto another shore
l'll be there waiting

Continue your war
but continue without me

l die into dust, but l die like royalty

To hell with your families
to hell with your feud

Romeo, so gentle
your reasoning has left you

Romeo...Romeo

Mercutio, Mercutio

Don't leave me

l beg you, don't leave me

Mercutio...!

Who knew one day
No matter how much love you have

God, Life here on earth is nothing but hell

Oh oh...

Tybalt, Tybalt, Tybalt

God, Life on earth, is nothing but hell

Adieu, my friend, Adieu

Tybalt!

You my husband, where were you
when Juliet was growing up?

Where were you
when l was getting old?

Where were you when he died?

Are you a man or a shadow?

Will you seek vengeance for him

Or do l have to do that for you?

Act man!

Silence!

What is the price?

That we will pay for his life

What is the destiny?

For those who bring death to me

My son has been killed

But all you here know

That Tybalt was first to make the blood flow

The deed is done

To bring it to fruition

l must believe you

l must know too

Where is Romeo?

l swear you must believe me
l didn't want this to be

Vengeance is not my nature

Yes, l avenged him that is sure

Was l to do nothing at all?

When l see my brother fall?

You who hate so much

How can you judge us?

We are your children, us three

You alone are on a killing spree

We are nothing but mimes

That imitate your crimes

Oh!

What is the price?

That we will pay for a life

What is the price?

What is the destiny?

For those who bring death to me

Death

What is the price?

That we will pay for a life

What is the price?

What is the destiny?

For those who bring death to me

Ohhhohhhhh...

The deed is done

To bring it to fruition

l must believe you

l must know too

Oh,what is the price...?

Citizens of Verona!

Am l the King of Stupidity?

The Prince of fools reigning over idiots?

l can sentence you to death Romeo!

No!

l will only demand you to leave

You are now banished from this town

And you must leave this
instant for Mantoue

Farewell!

Enough, enough my prince, l plead with you
not exile for pity's sake, mercy...

To be prince, to be king

To have all the power but no rights

To be prince, in this lowly world

l in the lawless heights

They envy me, but why?

They say HE when they talk about me

They fear me, they believe me

For when they are hot l freeze

Whatever l would do

l'd sacrifice it all, it's true

To watch over all of you

Power, power, power

Whether we be rich whether we be poor

The spirit forever wants more

We all haven't received gods grace

To ensure we are in a happy place

We know not if the devil we will be

Like wind that blows on the sea

l don't know a softer pain

Or a larger pleasure

to gain power

when it is in your hands

ls better than all the gold in the land

When the world is a mirror in hand

Power, power

Power, we love the taste of

Much better than that of love

Much softer than velvet fuzz

Of the women who tend your grove

Power is excitement

And l climax in it's confidence

And when l inseminate it

History is what l contemplated

Power is fantastic

l am a man but made public

ln this world
where everything is bought

l am the only one everyone
lends to at no cost

ln this world where all is at stake

They give to me or l will take

Amongst dwarves l touch the sky

And l lie, l lie, l lie

Power! Oh, my mates

lf you knew the rate

For death with a smile you would wait

Eternity in one life is my fate

And when uphold justice

of virtue against vice

lt is the same as
when l give fatherly advice

l command it's obedience

Power deserves it

We take it or we inherit it

And that day that we quit it

We construct it's myth

Power burns within you

Power makes lose a screw

Power we clamp on to

And when it abandons you

Then you die

Power, power, power...

Oh...

POWER!

Romeo!

Mother, l am banished, l lose Juliet

And l lose my son

l love her!

l love you more than her

We both suffer

How can l live without her?

Living without you will kill me

Good bye mother

Good bye my son...

Mercutio

Tybalt! Oh...

Things never go the way
we want them to

Juliet now you know what l already knew

and you cry, you cry my daughter
my sister you see

l will burden your misery

God, how men are cold

Oh! men they are all so bold

Oh! God, how men are cold

What then are we supposed to say?

For us who agree with your ways

God you have put us on this plain

Why Would you have us quietly remain?

And watch men die

The prince, when banishing you

Did you know? He saved you

We reclaimed the royal blood of blue

The blood of a Montague

And my poor little lost one, look at you

You don't understand anymore, do you?

God, how men are cold

Oh! men they are all so bold

Oh! God, how men are cold

What then are we supposed to say?

For us who agree with your ways

God you have put us on this plain

Why would you have us quietly remain?

And watch men die

God, how men are cold

Oh! men they are all so bold

Oh! God, how men are cold

What then are we supposed to say?

For us who agree with your ways

God you have put us on this plain

Why Would you have us quietly remain?

And watch men die

God, how men are cold

Oh! men they are all so bold

Oh! God, how men are cold

What then are we supposed to say?

For us who agree with your ways

God you have put us on this plain

Why Would you have us quietly remain?

And watch men die

God...

Juliet, Juliet

l hear the song of the skylark

l will be strong, but be ready

Juliet l must embark

Romeo, Romeo

No, lt's just the nightingale

l fear madness will prevail

lf you leave, Romeo

l don't want

l cannot

Live without you

l love you, l love you

Until the end of the night

To sleep in your embrace

To die face to face

l love you, l love you

A whole life to love you

That human justice is never kind to us

Did it ever love for it
to be able to judge us

l love you, yet the next day
you will be so far away

l love you, l love you
until the end of the night

Sleep in your embrace, die face to face

Sleep in your embrace, die face to face

l love you

Romeo, my mother is coming

l don't want to leave you

Me neither, l am your wife...

Yes forever Juliet...Wait for me
l will return...

l will return
Romeo!

l will return!

Paris, it's decided
you will have my daughter

Paris, to you l abandon my rose
my lovely flower

l do it, for her sake
so she will not be so blue

From now on her satin heart
belongs to you

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
l give you her hand

Juliet, You know the love
your father brings you

Juliet, tomorrow your
childhood is through

He is giving you to Paris
your childhood now are his

And God, your Blesses, gives you to Paris

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
he will have your hand

Women, lack of choice is their plight

Men, they have all the rights

But why are you crying
don't you know?

That the hour of happiness is at hand

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
he will have your hand

Nanny, my father want me to marry Paris

He will have your hand

Nanny, why do l have to listen to this?

You don't have a choice

l'd rather die

How would you dare?

l obliged to love him why?
This Paris with his good family

l am already married

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

He will have your hand

Juliet how can you still love that one

When your cousin is dead and gone

l beg you, you must say yes

To this suitor, which we promise

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
he will have your hand

Tomorrow, he will have your hand

Tomorrow, he will have your hand

l don't want to, let me be

For pity's sake stop it please

lt's your father you must do what he says

NO!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
he will have your hand

To have a daughter

A little opal

Two eyes that glitter

Skin so pale

To have a daughter

Who becomes a woman

Like a virtuoso

Without one lesson

To have a daughter

With a heart of sand

Gift of a god

Gift of a demon

To have a daughter

ls like doing a crime

And the victim does the time

To have a daughter

She is everything, she is my blood

She is the fruit of me
at twenty years old

l curse all her lovers, let it be told

She is everything, she is my blood

l curse all her lovers, let it be told

To have a daughter is
to tremble in fear

As she gets made up for one
who is a deceiver

To have a daughter is to never more

Treat women as l have done before

To have a daughter

l hate men and their leers

l know their rouses and their cheers

Then will come a day
when one will take her

And all the while will call me mister

And so this day and every other

l put my heart in a guarded tower

And l become deaf hearing no other

To have a daughter
Hope and belief still go on

Even when my life is gone

She carries deep inside of her

This scintillation from everyone
who had their turn

Having loved her cries
from a heart that burns

To have a daughter

A little opal

Two eyes that glitter

Skin so pale

To have a daughter

ls like doing a crime

And the victim does the time

To have a daughter

To have a daughter...

Shadows have no need for her

With her, all is a garden

The blue of the sky

ls merely makeup for her eyes

the curve of her neck

Needs no jewelry to be perfect

When l am in her

lt's like l am in a chapel

No one calls to me

l wouldn't answer anyway

When she holds me near

l forget you are there

For her
(Friar Laurent!)

l have left everything l care
(Help me!)

(They want to marry me off)

For her

Oh, l have even killed a man
(l would rather die)

l was in a cage

Like a bird who is too sage

Now, l am feeling rage

Cast out, turn the page

And tonight l cry

Love is not a crime

You must be blind

To see us as victims this time

Open your eyes, open your heart

When you love all sadness departs

As l shuffle through
the streets of Mantoue

l feel without her madness will ensue

With her
(All this is of no importance)

it never darkens
(We pardon your offenses)

With her

Oh...

All is a garden
(All of this is of no importance)

The blue of the sky
(When we are together)

ls merely makeup for her eyes

When l think of him l tremble

The curve of her neck
(ls loving really a crime to us?)

Needs no jewelry to perfect

Why are you preventing us?

When l am in her
(Oh...)

lt's like l am in a chapel

No one calls to me

l wouldn't answer anyway

When she holds me near

l forget you are there

Ouhhhhh...

Listen my Juliet
Listen to Friar Laurent

Take this vial

A few drops and you
will plunge into a sleep

They will think you're dead

Your body will be cold

And when you awake

Romeo will be there

l will send him a letter

He will get it

Have faith, my Juliet

Listen to me

Where do they go

Where do lovers' dreams go?

Their words, their passion

l'll return, l'll wait for you so

God will guide us

Now die l must

Romeo, why is it?

What we evoke?

ls our story

A comedy, a joke?

God will guide us

Now die l must

Romeo, this one game we must play

To not die

l must die a bit

This poison will save us

At dawn l'll return to us

Where do they go?

Where do lovers' dreams go?

Their words their passion

l'll return, l'll wait for you so

God will guide us

What? Juliet is dead?

No!

Go get Lady Capulet... hurry!

Juliet is dead...

Juliet, Juliet, my Juliet!!

Why did you do this?

NO!

l am of no importance

l was his friends since we were infants

l just liked women and l liked to dance

lt's over...

Just yesterday we were

so far, so far from death's door

But lt has descended on our town

like a spider spins its web

We were the kings of everything around

Yes, but now our injuries
are too profound

lf tomorrow the clocks would not turn

Still Juliet would not return

And it's me....

Who has to tell him

How will l tell him? How will l tell him?

That the worst has happened

How will l tell him?

That the woman he loves is dead

That all happiness has fled

That youth has reached it's end

All that's left is one friend

How will l tell him? This cruel chagrin

How will l tell him?

A family l have never known

l roamed the streets and called it home

And whenever l lose a friend

l then become an orphan

Mercutio sang that life is beautiful

l truly believed it too

Mercutio will never sing again

Here l am, lost and without kin

We were the kings of everything around

Yes, but now our injuries
are too profound

Even if tomorrow, thoughts are repenting

Juliet still would not be living

And it's me....

Who has to tell him

How will l tell him? How will l tell him?

That the worst has happened

How will l tell him?

The woman he loves has just died

And when she left she had inside

Half of his love he had for her

Now she takes it from him forever

How will l tell him? This cruel chagrin
How will l tell him?

How will l tell him? How will l tell him?

That the worst has happened
How will l tell him?

That the woman he loves is dead

That all happiness has fled

That youth has reached it's end

All that's left is one friend

How will l tell him? This cruel chagrin

How will l tell him?

How will i tell him...?

oh oh, oh oh...

oh oh, oh oh...

Benvolio, What are you doing there?
Wake up

You're sleeping you idiot!

You came from Verona
give me some news!

Tell me about Juliet

l can't stand it here

Romeo wait

Come, tell me!

Come on, tell me!

Tell me now!

Romeo!

Juliet is dead!

Romeooooo !

What have you done to her
that she had to go?

What have you done to her?
What was the row?

You have won in part
by keeping us apart

What have you said to her
that she had preferred?

To die so far away from me

That l wasn't even there
To hold her close to me

What have you done to her
that she has left me?

The weight of your regrets
transferred onto my agony

lt's over, l must go

l wanted to know about life
and now l know

l am so spent

Nothing l demand

Just to extend, and take her hand

And lay it on my heart
and let the pain depart

lt's over, l must go

l wanted to know about life
and now l know

Her kisses of honey

Her eyes soft as satin

l will take these feelings with me

And bring them to the heavens

Adieu my Juliet

Eternity awaits us

lt's over, l am leaving

l found how to forget about
peace seeking

l am so spent

l want to know nothing more

Only to extend

and enter through the mirror

And reclaim Juliet until time's end

She waits for me...

Romeo, you came

Thank you Lord

Romeo wake up, let's go!

Come, let us go

Romeo, look, l am alive

You know that Friar Laurent had warned you

Romeo, say something!

Romeo, answer me!

My love, answer me, answer...

ANSWER!!!!

Why stay around and grow old here?

ln a world where you no longer reside

Really what choices are there?

When the one you love commits suicide

Don't look at me to understand

Don't look for anything from me

Burning in love in ashes you stand

Yet keeps you out so you freeze

Me, l'll die for love

Me, l'll die for love

Romeo, Romeo

Life without you passes so quickly

Romeo, l love you so completely

For tonight the day into darkness slips

Without the taste of you on my lips

Romeo, Romeo

l am coming soon wait for me

Romeo, l love you so completely

For tomorrow the sun will come forth

Without the taste of you on my mouth

Maybe you had suffered much too

l have also received a lot for you

l leave you with your hostilities

But, l will depart far from thee

Me, l'll die for love

Me, l'll die for love

Romeo, Romeo

Life without you passes so quickly

Romeo, l love you so completely

For tonight the day into darkness slips

Without the taste of you on my lips

Romeo, Romeo

l am coming soon wait for me

Romeo, l love you so completely

For tomorrow the sun will come forth

Without the taste of you on my mouth

l no longer know, l no longer know

lf l believe in man
and my belief is low

That God is on my side

Oh,l no longer know
l am lost l confide

For you l abandoned everything
l have given you my soul to take

For you l renounced everything
women and the flesh that slakes

l believed in your kindness
but mine l have lost

l can no longer love

All these men just fuel my disgust

l envy the apostles, l envy those
who's belief is in place

l am a man like all the others

who gently drowns and
loses his faith

l no longer know, l no longer know

lsn't it you who said?

Men should love then you see
that they are dead

Oh, l no longer know, l feel dejected

For you l have forgiven, for you
l have done good

For you l have listened to
their secrets as mine would

A little more each day

Would grow and splay

l scream but you listen to what l say
My love for you has frayed

Oh God this is my prayer to you, the same
as my brothers would say

l am a man as are they

On my knees to you l pray
and l am dismayed

Nonetheless l commit to memory
before l commit blasphemy

To say that l love you
to whomever l run into

Life was simple
l had enough love to impart

But the ink of the gospels
has dried with my heart

Oh God of all men

You who are almighty

Listen to the voice of one man
who pleads from his knees

He is on the verge of insanity

l no longer know, l am lost

l no longer know, l no longer know

lsn't it you who said?

Men should love then you see
that they are dead

Oh, l no longer know, l am lost, oh...

l no longer know. No, l no longer know

lf l believe in man and my belief is low

That God is on my side

Oh, l no longer know
l am lost l confide, oh

l no longer know No!...

l no longer know

Our lives appear to be

Nothing but ships lost at sea

Why should our lives go on

When our children are dead and gone

And God and man can see

Exactly what we can be

l pray their souls of crystal

will pardon us for this evil

That our gods are in dismal

Let us make them

Make them rest peacefully

For their love will never be

We're the ones to judge
we're the ones to blame

They are in heaven we are
doomed to flames

This is where the sun sets on
Romeo and Juliet

We're the ones to judge
we're the ones to blame

They are in heaven we are
doomed to flames

This is where the sun sets on
Romeo and Juliet

Guilty, guilty

Thank you all!

Ladies and Gentlemen

We're especially lucky tonight
to welcome not only the TV cameras but

also our producer and composer
Mr. Gerard Presgurvic

Are you excited?

Sing together!

The kings of the world always live on top

The vista is great
but they lack the thought

Of what the people below think of them

That we are the kings and them just men

The kings of the world
in their ivory towers

Sit by themselves in crowded
rooms and glower

Worrying from the first rays
of morning light

While we down below dance
away the night

We make love, we live life

Day after day night after night

What good does it do us to be on earth?

lf it is to live our lives on our knees

We know how fast time is fleeting

To live is the most important thing

Morales sometimes drive us mad

We know that we are really not bad

The kings of the world are afraid of all

They lay their traps fearing they will fall

They protect themselves
whether it be pet or beast

And finally even from love they retreat

The kings of the world
wage constant warfare

There is enough land but never to share

We don't want to fight their war

We don't even know
what we are fighting for

We make love, we live life

Day after day night after night

What good does it do us to be on earth?

lf it is to live our lives on our knees

We know how fast time is fleeting

To live is the most important thing

Morales sometimes drive us mad

We know that we are really not bad

What's up?

l can't hear you!

We make love, we live life

Day after day night after night

What good does it do us to be on earth?

lf it is to live our lives on our knees

What good does it do us to be on earth?

Morales sometimes drive us mad

We know that we are really not bad

Morales sometimes drive us mad

We know that we are really not bad

we are really not bad

We know how fast time is fleeting

Morales sometimes drive us mad
We know that we are really not bad

We make love, we live life

Day after day night after night

What good does it do us to be on earth?

lf it is to live our lives on our knees

We know how fast time is fleeting

What good does it do us to be on earth?

Morales sometimes drive us mad

We know that we are really not bad
