ROMÉO
(Paroles: Jean Broussolle / Musique: Robert Stolz,   1961)
Pétula Clark


Tant qu'on saura que Juliette était blonde
Et Roméo fou d'amour
Tant qu'on saura que notre terre est ronde
Et qu'on en a fait le tour
On verra s'en aller le cortège
Des jolis rêves perdus
Et tourne, tournera le manège
Des amours défendues.

{Refrain:}
Roméo
Ton prénom sent si bon l'amour
Roméo
Ton prénom chantera toujours
Roméo
Dans le cœur des filles des faubourgs
Roméo
Toi qui a su mourir d'amour

Mais aujourd'hui tu irais en Ecosse
Avec ta Juliette au bras
Tu t'en irais sans habit ni carrosse
Lui passer la bague au doigt
Tu oublierais tes parents insensibles
Mais toi, pauvre de toi,
Pour sauver un amour impossible
Tu n'avais pas le choix.

{au Refrain}


*****


ROMEO
(Stolz / Kennedy)
Petula Clark


I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a pet
Felt if I met him
I'd act like a fool
I'd be a poor Juliet

Now that I know him
I'm not really sure
boy you're as charming as he
Saying the same things
to all the girls
or is it just to me

Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo

I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a joy
I liked the true way
he loved Juliet
just my ideal of a boy

You know I like you as my Romeo
that's how I want you to be
but if you're out on some other date
can you be true to me

Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
I've been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo
