French culture is amazing. I have watched this musical about 5 years ago. Now that I pick it up and watch it again, I instantly fall in love with it again. I’ve always like Shakespeare’s drama and this version of Romeo and Juliet has always been my favourite. The music is simply perfect.
Here’s a collection of the songs that I really love.
Official Music Videos:
#1. The first song that performed in the musical: Vérone (Verona). You should really see the English translation for the song’s lyrics, I love it.
#2. Les Rois Du Monde (Kings of the world): Passionate, carefree, young, love for life. I love the spirit. Three friends in Romeo and Juliet performed it together. Perfect. (English Lyrics)
#3. Comment Lui Dire (How to tell him): It’s a bit melancholy but it’s my jam song in this musical. Benvolio is my favourite here and his voice is so beautiful. (English lyrics)
#4. Aimer (Love): Love is wonderful. Love is beautiful. Love is magical. Beautifully performed. (English Lyrics)
Other songs like these are also great: La Haine (The Hate), C’est Pas Ma Faute (It’s Not My Fault), Le Balcon(The Balcony), J’ai Peur (I’m Scared) and Avoir Une Fille (To Have A Girl).
