Verona 出自音樂劇《羅密歐與茱麗葉》

今天在噗浪上看到同學講到這部以前老師給我們看過的音樂劇，她喜歡的是Le balcon這首（Youtube很多，自己找），而我比較喜歡鎮長開場的維洛那（Verona）。


其實我小時候比較不知道羅密歐與茱麗葉的故事，比較清楚的是梁山伯跟祝英台。
雖然常常聽到他們的名字，但還是看了這齣音樂劇才了解整個事情的經過。

反正這故事大家都應該知道，我就不厚道的劇透了。

在歐洲一個叫作維洛那（Verona）這個地方，有兩家世仇（Capulet 和 Montague），而羅密歐跟茱麗葉分別是兩家的成員。
在宇宙一個叫作賽柏坦這個星球，有兩派世仇，而羅密歐跟茱麗葉分別是兩派的成員。（羅與茱我不敢隨便替換XD）
某次羅密歐微服出巡（？）看見茱麗葉就一見鍾情，茱麗葉也對羅密歐一見傾心。
在某些人（好像是保母吧？）的幫助下，他倆偷偷約會，還偷偷結婚了。
後來兩家發生大規模械鬥，有死人，更加深了兩家的仇恨。

唉唷，後面好麻煩，偷借維基百科快速講完XD

羅密歐與茱麗葉之間的愛情，故事講述二人於舞會一見鍾情後方知對方身份，最後二人為了在一起，茱麗葉先服假毒，醒來發現羅密歐自盡，也相繼自盡。（來源 維基百科）

真好奇他們幹麻不私奔就好了？
覺得最後兩個人都死得很鳥...
這件事警惕我們，誤會是會害死人的。

這首Verona 就是鎮長（？）在講這個地方的歷史（主要在說兩家世仇啦～），
介紹這個可愛美麗又溫馨的小鎮（誤）。

哈，不過我無聊找了個英文版的，
法文聽說還是比較地道，可惜我完全不懂就是了。



If you think you've seen it all
Then you have better think again
Don't care how many books you've read
Or how many lands you've seen
You're still not prepared for this
Don't be misled by pretty girls
Or flower gardens everywhere
You'll soon see what I mean
The family called Capulet
Will not forgive and can't forget
And the family called Montague
Is as unforgiving too

This is Verona
You're in Verona
Where hatred is a way of life
And you can cut it with a knife
The hate keeps flowing in their veins
It is more powerful than chains
And they are scared to turn their backs
It isn't prudent to relax

Not in Verona
Charming Verona
The population is unique
Nobody turns the other cheek
When will they get it in their heads?
That dreams will never leave their beds
Until there is some compromise
And peace illuminates the skies
In Verona

On the surface all is well
Heaven on earth it would appear
A second look and you'll see hell
It's no picnic to live here
Maybe the wound's too deep and raw
Archaic wounds take long to heal
And Montagues and Capulets
Thrive on their ordeal

What tragic price must we pay
For bad blood to be washed away?
It's all too sad to contemplate
And it's all because of hate

In my Verona
Perfect Verona
Two houses with an ancient grudge
That all their praying cannot budge
An endless battle of two foes
And neither one can find repose
As families swim against the tide
You'll meet some people who reside

In Verona
You in Verona
This one is called Benvolio
And that's his friend Mercutio
And here comes Tybalt like a god
It's been like this since he was born
But in this town I am the law
It's tough 'cause everyone's at war

Mercutio
He's mad, we are the law here

Benvolio
We are too wild to be controlled

Tybalt
I am too brave, I am too bold

Chorus
We're in Verona
Come to Verona
The population is unique
Nobody turns the other cheek
The hate keeps flowing in our veins
Hate is more powerful than chains
No wonder danger's in the air
The enemy is everywhere!
In Verona
