Aquí, en lugar de Capuletos y Montescos, nos encontramos con los Jets, de origen polaco, muy rubios, y con los Sharks, de origen portorriqueño. Y de nuevo el amor rompe todos los esquemas: Tony, del grupo de los rubitos, se enamora de María, la hermana de Bernardo, el líder de los portorriqueños. Y proclaman juntos su amor al mundo en ese magnífico himno amoroso que es "Tonight".
MARIA
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes in my words and in everything I do
Nothing else but you
Ever
TONY
And there's nothing for me but Maria
Every sight that I see is Maria
MARIA
Tony, Tony
TONY
Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go you'll be
TONY & MARIA
All the world is only you and me
MARIA
Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away
Tonight, tonight
There's only you tonight
What you are, what you do, what you say
TONY
Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen
I know now I was right
TONY & MARIA
For here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad
Shooting sparks into space
Today, the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
But here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight
Good night, good night
Sleep well and when you dream
Dream of me
Tonight
