英國歌壇紅星［佩圖拉．克拉克］──快速流行曲──改編自德語音樂的［Romeo／羅密歐］

I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a pet
Felt if I met him
Id act like a fool
Id be a poor Juliet

Now that I know him
Im not really sure
boy youre as charming as he
Saying the same things
to all the girls
or is it just to me

Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
Ive been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo

I studied Shakespeare
when I was at school
thought Romeo was a joy
I liked the true way
he loved Juliet
just my ideal of a boy

You know I like you as my Romeo
thats how I want you to be
but if youre out on some other date
can you be true to me

Romeo,
why am I so in love with you
Romeo,
is it you or the things you do
Ive been yours
from the moment you said hello
Are you mine
or just only my Romeo

１９６１年，２９歲的英國歌壇紅星佩圖拉．克拉克（Petula Clark）推出單曲［Romeo／羅密歐］（Pye Nixa發行）

這是改編自奧地利作曲家Robert Stolz１９１９年創作的作品［莎樂美／Salome)

Arthur Rebner創作原始德語歌詞。

英語版歌詞是由Jimmy Kennedy新寫．

Arthur Rebner有時會因［Romeo］的歌曲創作而掛名

克拉克版由Alan A. Freeman製作成一首流行曲，吉他手Big Jim Sullivan客串樂手，

節奏急速，佩圖拉的詮釋衝勁十足

［Romeo］登上英國單曲榜＃３　成為克拉克第六首前十名熱門曲．

儘管名次低於稍早她在英國排名第一的單曲［Sailor］，

［Romeo］仍以４０萬銷量為克拉克贏得她的首張英國金唱片。

愛爾蘭排名亞軍。比利時荷語區亞軍。

丹麥＃３、荷蘭＃１０　挪威＃４　澳洲＃２５

佩圖拉將此曲翻唱成法語版［Roméo］（Jean Broussolle翻譯），

１９６２年１月登上法國單曲榜冠軍，

在比利時法語區排行榜上也封后．
