RetJ’s harmonies give me LIFE! 💕 Unfortunately, the sheet music doesn’t have their harmonies and the karaoke retained Damien’s harmony with himself. I tried to sing that part as well, but you may still be able to hear it, alas. Tripped me up something awful, but otherwise it was an easy enough recording. I was surprised I was able to sing it, since on the piano those notes are so high. So I 99% did something wrong, lol. I did change some things up re: translation for singability and rhyme purposes. The karaoke retained the chorus, so I let the French be; just mentally substitute the English verse.
For Love (Par Amour)
Friar Love can bring you to madness
Romeo But what man would settle for less?
Friar God is where my heart lies
Juliet All of love lives in his eyes
Friar Love’s a joy that you suffer
Romeo What’s the use of life without her?
Friar Love’s a sea that drowns you
Juliet Love’s the hope that has found you
Romeo Love is her, in her tender And I’ll make our lives a splendor With your help
Juliet Bind our names as one
Both Let whatever will come Come for love
Friar Love’s a tempest inside us
Juliet Love’s the north star that guides us
Romeo In the night, it leads us
Both Love’s the life that has freed us
Friar Free by love?
Romeo It may be God you love But for me it’s Juliet If love must pay its price Tell me, Friar, my debt! I ask you, father, please
Juliet On my knees I implore
Both To marry us today Put an end to this war
It’s time now to decide What you would dare to do Like lambs among the wolves Our time is nearly through
Romeo I long so much to lie With Juliet as my bride
W/Juliet And hear the sweet lark’s song In the dark by my side Please, we need you...
Chorus If in love, there is true life We can hope for a new life For our love If our God above Grant us what we’ve dreamed of Love will be
Friar, Romeo, & Juliet We’ll be free...!
