Entr'acte
Masquerade
Firmin:
Ah, this is a wonderful party!
Andre:
Yes, a spectacular New Year.
Firmin:
Let's raise our glasses...
Andre:
...and make a toast!
Firmin, Andre:
Congratulations!
Firmin:
The unfortunate thing is that the Phantom isn't here.
Chorus:
Masquerade! A masquerade ball!
Masquerade! Sing, dance, and enjoy!
Masquerade! Do just as you like
Masquerade! Put on masks and gather around.
We don't know who is who
The face of a king and the face of a clown
All types* come out
One after another in a merry-go-round
(Yes, spinning like a merry-go-round)
Who is who, and whose face is that?
We don't know who is who
Drink, drink, drain your cup
Sing and dance
* "Iroiro" is a bit of a play on words because it can mean either "all types (of people)" or "many colors."
Raoul, Christine:
Who is who?
Chorus:
Masquerade! Our hearts pound
Masquerade! A night of brilliant spectacle!
Masquerade! Glittering lights
Masquerade! Hide your face together with us
Masquerade! Jest and play
Masquerade! Is this a game between shadows and reflections?*
Masquerade! Tonight's object is
For all the people to become strangers.
* "Kage" can mean either "shadow" or "reflection," so I used both.
Giry:
How...
Meg:
Wonderful!
Andre:
Everyone...
Firmin:
...just that we've chosen (is here)
Carlotta:
Everyone looks happy
Meg, Giry:
Everything's all right
Andre:
Half a year
Piangi:
Anxiety...
Carlotta:
...isn't needed (or "we don't need to worry")
Andre:
This is paradise
Meg, Giry:
We can catch our breath
Carlotta:
The ghost...
Piangi
...won't come out
Giry:
What a relief
Andre:
Now let's give a toast to the new...
Firmin:
...chandelier, whose...
Piangi, Carlotta:
...light will never fade
Firmin:
So that... (Rearranged, it would be "...so that the new chandelier's light will never fade.")
Giry:
A dream...
Meg:
...it feels like (or "It's like a dream")
Andre, Firmin:
It's an auspicious occasion...
Andre:
Tonight's Masquerade!
Christine:
You must not tell people about us...
It's a secret.
Raoul:
But why are we hiding it?
Christine:
Please...
Raoul:
We have...
Christine:
It's still not the right time
Raoul:
...already become engaged.
Christine, what's the reason?
Christine:
Don't ask.
Raoul:
I won't ask.
Christine:
Someday...
Raoul:
Someday...
Raoul, Christine:
Will a day come when I'll understand?
(A day will come when you'll understand.)
Chorus:
Masquerade! A masquerade ball!
Masquerade! Sing, dance, and enjoy!
Masquerade! Do just as you like
Masquerade! Put on masks and gather around.
Masquerade! Glittering lights
Masquerade! Hide your face together with us
Masquerade! Our hearts pound
Masquerade! A night of brilliant spectacle!
Phantom:
Are you all shocked? I am still in good health.
You must have missed me... Now I present you with this opera
The completed (or perfected) score... "Don Juan Triumphant" (lit. "Don Juan's Triumph")
If you don't do exactly as I say,
An unthinkable event will occur once again.
I still won't let you go... sing for me!
Ah, this is a wonderful party!
Andre:
Yes, a spectacular New Year.
Firmin:
