A Time For Us - Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet

- Words by Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder and Music by Nino Rota

(from the 1968 film produced by Franco Zeffirelli and starring Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey)


A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide

A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me


For you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

A world of shining hope for you and me

I found another translation, you can get a bit of both and get a perfect translation! haha check it out, though Sandy did an amazing job!


A time for us

A day will come for us, you know
The liberty of loving here without limit
And the dream denied us will bloom
The love now concealed will be revealed
A day, you know, to live
The life that escapes us here
A day, you know, to live
The life that escapes us here

The love in us will overcome
The obstacles and the tides of adversity
And there will also be for us in the world
A time in which love will win
A time in which love will win

Thank you so much for the translation! The one Sandy provided was the theme song from the film, and yours may be a more literal translation. Either way..I win, so i appreciate the time you took to reply. Also..at the end of the reply was a paragraph in what looked (to my untutored eye) like the cyrillic alphabet..at the end was a smiley face. May I ask what it was? Again, thanks. pollyanna

Ohh! It's greek! A greek song! That part means

Forever I will stay, if you ask to
forever I will be here for you to look at me
forever,the body is here
the life is here
I will not leave unless we leave together

Not to put down anyone, but I think both translations of the song are wrong. The name is not even "A Time For Us ", its called "What is a Youth". I actually found the english version song by Nino Rota sung in the 1968 Romeo and Juliet Movie. Pull it up in LimeWire, search artist Nino Rota...

Thanks..I do remember the song from the movie. I know that they used completely different lyrics when it became the theme song for the movie. I just wanted a more literal translation of "Un Giorno Per Noi".
