"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" (What does it translate to?)

I was looking up how to speak elizabethn and found what it means in modern english.
I can tell you now, unless you had to study Shakespear or know how to speak elizabethn, you will get it wrong!

Once a few people guess I will tell you what it is.

I'm guessing, oh romeo, romeo, where have you gone to romeo

ooorrrrrr

romeo, oh romeo, I love you, why did you die (and make me die then you're not actually dead then when you found out I'm dead you kill yourself too then we live together peacefully in heaven while our families come together in happiness and mourning over out awesome deaths.)

"O Romeo, Romeo, what is the purpose of you being Romeo?"

Thou = You
Art is a form of the word "be"
Wherefore = what is the purpose of

I allways thought it ment, " O Romeo, Romeo, where are you Romeo?"

I have no idea what he ment to say, I have never read it.

It's why are you Romeo. As in, why are you a Montague, pretty much. Because deny thy father and refuse thy name = defy the feud as well.

Edit: I did that without looking at your comment.

I know it because I read Romeo and Juliet last year and my class went over the language of the era.

" O Romeo, Romeo, where are you Romeo?"

I think they meant to make it that, but accidentaly made it like-

"O Romeo, Romeo, what is the purpose of you being Romeo?"
