Romeo lives on the ground floor of building three
Juliette in the building across the street on the top floor
They are both 16 years old and every day when they see each other
A desire to share grows in their eyes
It's on the first date that they take the plunge
Under a sad autumn sky where it rains on their bodies
They kiss like crazy without fear of the wind and cold
Because love has its seasons that reason ignores

Romeo digs Juliette and Juliette digs Romeo
And if the sky is not clear, so much for the weather
A love in the storm, that of the gods, that of men
A love, courage and two children out of the ordinary

Juliette and Romeo often see each other in secret
It's not that people around them could mock
It's that Juliette's father wears a kippah on his head
And Romeo's father goes to the mosque every day
So they lie to their families, they organize like pros
If there are no places for their love, they create a setting
They love each other at the cinema, at friends', in the subway
Because love has its homes that the parents ignore

Romeo digs Juliette and Juliette digs Romeo
And if the sky is not clear, so much for the weather
A love in the storm, that of the gods, that of men
A love, courage and two children out of the ordinary

Romeo's father is angry, he has suspicions
Juliette's family is Jewish, you must not approach her
But Romeo argues and resists the pressure
We don't care dad that she's Jewish, look how beautiful she is
So love remains clandestine as soon as his father turns his back
He gives her the high life with the means at hand
For her it's Greek sandwich and cheese at McDonald's
Because love has its connections that money ignores

Romeo digs Juliette and Juliette digs Romeo
And if the sky is not clear, so much for the weather
A love in the storm, that of the gods, that of men
A love, courage and two children out of the ordinary

But the story gets complicated when Juliette's father
Finds messages he shouldn't have read
A text on the iPhone and an Internet chat
The punishment has fallen, she can no longer go out
Romeo struggles in the lobby of building three
Despite his friend Mercutio, his joy evaporates
His princess is close by but held under her roof
Because love has its prisons that reason dishonors
But Juliette and Romeo change the story and leave
To believe that they love each other more in life than in death
No vial of cyanide, much to Shakespeare's displeasure
Because love has its horizons that poisons ignore

Romeo digs Juliette and Juliette digs Romeo
And if the sky is not clear, so much for the weather
A love in the storm, that of the gods, that of men
A love, courage and two children out of the ordinary

Romeo digs Juliette and Juliette digs Romeo
And if the sky is not clear, so much for the weather
A love in a reactionary and insulting storm
A love and two children ahead of their time
