Prince:
You think you can not be surprised by anything,
But it is not so.
Welcome friends!
Verona is glad to see you.

I’m the Prince of this place and that is why I know,
How poor people and nobility live here.
It is paradise only by sight,
But it is just an illusion.
Alas, my town is absolute hell,
At first sight blossoming garden,
In human hearts there is no blood but poison,
And there is a stink of malice in their souls.

Chorus:
Verona is waiting,
We are all glad to see you,
If you came to Verona:
Destiny plays a mean trick on us sometimes.
Two families rule the ball here,
And the old and the young commit iniquities.
For those who have never been to this place,
Verona is a carnival of revenge.
Verona is waiting,
And here in Verona:
Among beautiful girls and beautiful places,
You may be lucky,
And if not - you have to blame only yourself.
Welcome friends.
For those who have never been to this place:
Verona is a carnival of revenge,

Prince:
Verona is waiting.

You are transiently here, for day or two.
And you will swear off not to come back!
Verona is a wonderful town,
To find yourself here - God forbid!

And we must till our death,
Meet here troubles one by one,
And curse our destiny,
Like sinners in hell.
Alas, my town is absolute hell,
At first sight blossoming garden,
In human hearts there is no blood but poison,
And there is a stink of malice in their souls.

Chorus:
Verona is waiting,
We are all glad to see you,
If you came to Verona:
Destiny plays a mean trick on us sometimes.
Two families rule the ball here,
And the old and the young commit iniquities.
For those who have never been to this place,
Verona is a carnival of revenge.
Verona is waiting,
And here in Verona:
Among beautiful girls and beautiful places,
You may be lucky,
And if not - you have to blame only yourself.
Welcome friends.
Here a dagger is instead of bible,
Verona is a carnival of revenge!

Prince:
Benvolio and Mercutio – two friends.
Mercutio is my distant relative.

Mercutio:
My prince, though, you are my relative,
You can’t tame me!

Prince:
And here is Tybalt – instigator of fights
their deadly enemy.

Tybalt:
I’m spit upon your law,
Why, I’m always equipped!

Prince:
Verona!
I was kinder than a father,
Patience has come to the end!

Chorus:
And if not - you have to blame only yourself.
Welcome friends.
For those who have never been to this place:
Verona is a carnival of revenge!

Prince:
Verona, Verona!
Verona is waiting.
