Roméo Lyrics in English Pierre de Maere

Home / Lyrics Translation / Pierre de Maere / Roméo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Roméo by Pierre de Maere from French to English.

Look around me

The crowd that reeks of hate

It wants what it doesn't have

Tell her how much we love each other

More, even more than yesterday

With two, life's just like

In your wildest dreams

Together, life's beautiful

And they talk about nobody but us

I love her to death

And in my movie

We're so gorgeous

Look at us

Playing Romeo

And cursing each other in silence

Hey

I love her to death

And in my movie, we're so gorgeous

Look at us

Playing Romeo

Cursing each other in silence

Love gives you wings, huh?

It's to fall from high

And above all, it gives you airs of

I'm the king

So, even more than yesterday

Tell them about the times

When I take you to paradise

You'd look really dumb

If they knew the tears and the screams

Tell it, tell it, tell it

I love her to death

And in my movie

We're so gorgeous

Look at us

Playing Romeo

And cursing each other in silence

Hey

I love her to death

And in my movie, we're so gorgeous

Look at us

Playing Romeo

And cursing each other in silence

And when nothing works anymore

You'll smile anyway

Yeah, when nothing works anymore

I'll cover up our pain

And really nothing will work anymore

You'll smile anyway

After us, the flood

You'll tell them we love each other

SONG MEANING

Pierre de Maere turns the classic love story on its head in “Roméo,” delivering a glossy, cinematic tale of two lovers who crave the spotlight almost as much as they crave each other. The singer invites us to watch their romance like a movie: crowds sneer, flashbulbs pop, and the couple gleams center-stage, certain they are living a grand, timeless passion. Every chorus is a red-carpet moment where they boast, “Regardez-nous jouer les Roméo!” — flaunting a love so intense it feels immortal.

But behind the perfect poses, cracks appear. The same wings that lift them into the clouds are the wings that make the fall hurt more; private tears and screams lurk beneath public kisses. They curse one another in silence, yet keep repainting their story with bright, glittering strokes, vowing to smile even when nothing is left. “Roméo” is a playful pop ode to the thrill of performing love while secretly wondering if the show can survive reality — a reminder that the most dazzling romances can be half dream, half disaster, and entirely irresistible.
