Скачать или смотреть Ez a kéz utolér (This is the hand that will win)- Szilveszter Szabo

Szilveszter Szabo as Tybalt in Gerard Presgurvic's 'Roméo es Julia' in Budapest performs "Ez a kez utoler" ("This is the hand that will win"). The original French title of the song was "C'est le jour". In this scene, word breaks out that there are interlopers at the Capulet ball- specifically, Benvolio and Romeo of the house of Montague and their friend Mercutio, who is the nephew of the Prince of Verona. While Juliet, Lord Capulet's daughter, is horrified to find that the boy she has fallen instantly in love with is from the enemy house, Tybalt, Lady Capulet's nephew, realizes that Romeo was talking to Juliet, with whom Tybalt has been secretly, obsessively in love with for years. A fight between Tybalt and Mercutio nearly occurs, but Mercutio and his Montague friends make it out just as the stress on Tybalt causes him to have an epileptic fit. Lord and Lady Capulet and their servants try to soothe Tybalt, he declares that Juliet is the only woman he has ever loved and could ever think of as more than a whore, and he swears that he will have his revenge on Romeo for defiling her.

One of the most impressive things about this production is the way the character of Tybalt is so much more expanded compared to what little you see of him in most takes on the Romeo and Juliet story. The original subplot that Tybalt is also in love with Juliet does appear in the other productions of Presgurvic's musical, but (in my opinion) Szilveszter Szabo is the only actor I've seen (with the exception of Pavel Maximov, whose portrayal was still VERY different from Szabo's) to make him a compelling character. His Tybalt is an utter wreck, as much as the character tries to hide it, and not only because of his disorder. By the time he is killed by Romeo in Act II, death is a release from his pain and his self-loathing, and there is acceptance on his face as he dies.

Here is a non-singable translation of the lyrics, with the chorus in parentheses:

"Women are only objects, use them as such."
This is what my father taught me in the bordello.
I didn't care if they were plump or thin,
They all had me in their beds.
But I didn't love them, I never loved them-
Only Juliet, only Juliet.

I watched her grow up, and now she is the most beautiful girl alive.
How dare that Montague boy come uninvited, and then leave like a coward!
But this is the hand that will win!
You will pay with blood!
Love for a woman and a wounded heart is enough to inspire revenge!
I am wounded, but I will get rid of the pain!

Love for a woman is a prison.
I've dreamed of her every night for years.
I could never tell her, or let my heart be known to anyone.

But this is the hand that will win!
You will pay with blood!
For touching Juliet, you will pay!
I will kill him!
I am so wounded that I cannot live with it!

(This is the hand) You made her betray me!
(That will win) Should I be afraid?
(You will pay) Is there misfortune coming?
(With your blood) Will I die for love?

I don't care what it means
Even if love must die
I am hurt, and all I can give is pain!
Every other man with a broken heart understands why!
