Sir Phoebus de Chateaupers
capit?n de los arqueros del Rey

Te convoco a ahuyentar

todos estos forajidos.

Por todos los medios, debemos
detener esta horda de extra?os

que disturban la paz

De los ciudadanos del pa?s

por tus ?rdenes mi Lord Archidiacre

En el nombre de Dios matar?

y perseguir? de sus ojos

Todos estos patanes sin futuro

De d?nde eres, extra?o encantador?

Hija de las estrellas de la tierra

Ave justa del para?so

D?nde est?s?

Gitana

Nadie conoce mi tierra

Gitana

Soy un hijo de la carretera

Gitana, gitana

D?nde estar? ma?ana?

Gitana, gitana

Est? escrito en la palma de mi mano

Mi madre me cont? de Espa?a

Como si fuera su casa

Sobre los bandidos de la colina

En las colinas de Andaluc?a

En las colinas de Andaluc?a

Mi padre muri?, mi madre tambi?n

Paris es mi casa

Pero cuando sue?o con el mar

me traslado muy lejos

a las colinas de Andaluc?a

Gitana

Nadie conoce mi tierra

Gitana

Soy hijo de la carretera

Gitana, gitana

Donde estar? ma?ana

Gitana, gitana

Est? escrito en la palma de mi mano

Mi infancia pas?

Descalzo en las colinas de Provence

Para los gitanos el camino es largo

El camino es largo

Y seguir? caminando

M?s all? de los caminos de Francia

Los caminar? hasta
el final de la tierra

Hasta el final de la Tierra

Un r?o andalucino

corre en mi sangre

corre en mis venas

Acaso los cielos de Andaluc?a

valen

volver?

Gitana

Nadie conoce mi tierra

Soy un hijo de la carretera

Gitana, gitana

Gitana, gitana

Est? escrito en la palma de mi mano

Est? escrito en la palma de mi mano

T? sabes, Esmeralda

Ya no eres una ni?a

Y a veces te veo

Con ojos diferentes

S?lo ten?as ocho a?os

cuando tu madre se fue

tomada por la muerte

a su casa en Andaluc?a

Ella te conf?o a mi

Y con cuidado

he velado por ti

hasta hoy.

T? sabes, Esmeralda

Los hombres son malvados.

Ten cuidado cuando corres

en campos o calles

Me entiendes?

Est?s por descubrir amor

Nada es como antes.

Mis catorce veranos son para t?.

Este collar de diamantes es para mi.

Si tus palabras y promesas fueran mentira

No las creer?a

Tu coraz?n de doncella
es m?o

Tus ojos de paloma son para m?

Las estrellas brillan en los cielos

Menos brillantes que estos ojos

?l al que mi coraz?n desea

Es un caballero justo

Que no sabe

los campos de mi amor

Si no lo supiera

Puedo verlo en tus ojos

Quien gane tu amor

Ser? un hombre con suerte

Det?n tu b?squeda

El amor est? aqu?

Aqu? para siempre

As? es.

El d?a ser? alegre, el d?a

en que nos casemos

Todo el oro que todav?a yace en la profundidad

Debajo de la tierra en venas dormidas

Qu? usar? para vestir tu cuerpo

Tu cuerpo que me dar?

Todas esas l?neas amantes

todas esas canciones de deseo

mejor que cualquer juglar

me cantar?s

Det?n tu b?squeda

El amor est? aqu?

Aqu? para siempre

As? es

El d?a en que nos casemos,
el d?a

en que nos casemos

Det?n tu b?squeda
El amor est? aqu?

Aqu? para siempre

Atento!
esta chica no es de aqu?.

Es una gitana.
Una bruja

Es una perra
una gata de la calle

An animal on the prowl
barefoot and homeless

Mortal sin incarnate

She ought to be imprisoned

To stop this pillage

Of the hearts and souls
of the children of Notre Dame

Tonight we'll chase her
in the alleys

Tonight we'll take her away

We'll lock her in the tower

And teach her

The only true religion

Of Jesus and The Holy Mother

You can ask of me
anything

And l will do it for you

Anything you like
you know

Anything at all

l will do it for you
l will do it for you

You who took me in

Adopted and fed me

Me, the orphan

The child abandoned

By parents who were shamed

To have brought into this world

A monster

You who watched me grow

You who watched me suffer

You who offered protection

From this cruel world

You gave me my existence

By naming me ringer

Of bells

You taught me to speak

To read and to write

But l can't read

Your true feelings

l belong to you

to the depths of my soul

Like the deepest love of a dog

For his master

l belong to you
to the depths of my soul

Ibelongtoyou
tothetoofmygod

Like the deepest love of a dog

For his master

The gates of Paris

Are closed at dusk

When nighttime's shrieks

And laughter in the dark
and nocturnal desires reign

Nights where every vice
are satisfied

ln the heat of Paris

A showplace of lust

On the Pont-au-Change tonight

An angel l did meet

That smiled at me

Then disappeared

On the streets of Paris

l followed her and lost her

Pursued her into the night

lnto all the laughter
and carnal desire

Nights where every vice
is satisfied

ln the heat of Paris

A showplace of lust

The gates of Paris

Are closed at dusk

When nightime's crimes

And laughter in the dark

And nocturnal desires reign

l am the captain

ln charge of the peace

Of all citizens

Men and women alike

Allow me to escort you

Outside the city gates

Where the gipsies live

Men and women alike

Go your way

You've clearly made a mistake

Esmeralda,
good Sir, is not a soldier's girl

At dusk tomorrow

Tomorrow's end of day

l'll be there to see you

ln ''The Valley of Love Caberet''

ln ''The Valley of Love Caberet''

Here we are, brothers all

ln misery and joy

Here there is no heaven or hell

No heaven or hell

Here we're just like worms

Worms in the rotten earth

Wine and blood share the same color

Here in the den of thieves

Prostitutes dance with hoods

Here in the den of thieves

Beggers and bandits dance alike

Here in the den of thieves

Our rags, our flags

The color of my skin next to yours

Gipsies and villains
sing the same song

Here in the den of thieves

We're all on the lam

Thieves and killers drink
from the same cup

Gringoire the Bard

You will hang

Convicted
of trespassing

Upon our sacred ground

Here in the den of thieves

Trespassing on our sacred ground

Trespassing on our sacred ground
here in the den of thieves

Unless a woman

Takes you for her husband

Be aware

The poets of France

Are only fit to hang

The poets of France

And you my beauty

My lovely Esmeralda

Will you take as husband

This worthless minstrel?

This worthless minstrel?

lf he's free, l'll take him

He's yours
as spouse but not as a lover

Wine and blood share the same color

Here in the den of thieves

Beggers and bandits dance alike

My nymph, my muse, my lady

You, who can read and write

You, the poet, do you know

What Phoebus means?

By Jupiter
who on this earth

Dares to go by this name?

He's the one
for whom my heart beats

lf l recall
my latin

The word Phoebus means sun

Phoebus means sun

He's bright as the sun

Deep inside

Stronger than myself

He's bright as the sun

He's a prince, the son of a king

Of a king......l think

He's bright as the sun

He's a rascal, a soldier

When he holds me tight

l want to run away, but l can't

He's bright as the sun

He's a rascal, a soldier

A soldier of the king

He's bright as the sun

My wonder, my man

He'll take me in his arms

And love me all his life

He's bright as the sun

My wonder, my man

He's bright as the sun

Bright

Perhaps a little less

Who is this girl
who dances

Her dance of shame
before the Notre Dame?

The girl is my wife

Given to me

By the King of the gipsies

Did you touch her

Servant of Satan?

l wouldn't dare

And l forbid you

l would like to show you

An inscription here engraved

On a stone beyond

The Gallery of Kings

What does it mean-
this word ''Anarkia''?

You're a man posessed

The Greek word ''Anarkia''
signifies ''Fate''

ls that not Quasimodo

That they're taking away?

He's got himself arrested, the fool

And only God knows why

Hunchback! Rapist! One-eyed & lame!

Damned ringer of the bells

Pray for him, the poor sinner

Have mercy on him, good Lord

Mercy
for poor Quasimodo

Who carries on his back

All the world's woes

And asks you only
for a drop of water

Have mercy, public
for this servant of the Lord

A drop of water only

For Quasimodo

l'm thirsty!

Give me a drop to drink!

l'm thirsty!

l'm thirsty!

Give me something to drink!

Beauty

Beauty

Beauty

lt seems a word invented for her

When she dances, revealing her body

Like a bird
spreads its wings to fly

l feel the devil
take me by the feet

My eyes gazed
under her gipsy dress

What shall l pray to Mary for?

Who

Will cast the first stone at her?

He who does not deserve to live

O Satan! Oh! Let me just once

Pass my fingers through her hair

Beauty

ls she the devil incarnate

Leading me from the Eternal Lord

Who has bewitched me
with carnal desire

To turn me from heaven above?

She carries inside the original sin

Am l a criminal if l desire her?

She

Who all thought a whore,
a girl of the street

Suddenly seems to be
humanity's burden

Oh! l beseech you Our Lady
Oh! Allow me just once

The entrance to Esmeralda's garden

Beauty

Behind those eyes that cast a spell

Could the girl still be a maiden?

When the moves she makes
promise me the earth

Underneath her rainbow skirt

My betrothed,
leave me one infidelity

Before we're joined by God

What

Man could resist gazing at her

At the risk of becoming transfixed?

Oh! My Lilly Flower

l'm not a man to trust

l'll pluck the flower
of Esmeralda's love

My eyes gazed
under her gipsy dress

What shall l pray to Mary for?

Who

Will cast the first stone at her?

He who does not deserve to live

O Satan! Oh! Let me just once

Pass my fingers through the hair
Of Esmeralda,

Esmeralda

My friends, the gargoyles,

They'll protect you from any fool

Whenever you need shelter

Come to me, l'll protect you

The Notre Dame of Paris

My air, my roof, it's my bed

lt's my song, my voice

My reason, my folly

My passion, my country

lt's my prison, my homeland

Your friends the gargoyles
are my friends too

They make me laugh
on days when l'm bored

You're like them
and l like you for that

Even though l'm scared of you
most all the time

ln my house

Warm in the winter

ln the summer it's cool

You are always welcome

Any time of the year

Between brothers everywhere

Ave Maria

Ave Maria

Protect me

Ave Maria

l feel my life slipping

lnto some unknown world

l feel the crowd receding

When l walk the streets

l'm stripped bare

Stripped bare

This ocean of passion
pulsing through my veins

Causes all my madness
my loss, my bad luck

Causes all my madness
my loss, my bad luck

Softly l'll plunge into it
without a hand to save me

Slowly l will drown
without a bit of remorse

You will destroy me
you will destroy me

And l'll curse you
to my death

You will destroy me

You will destroy me

l could have foreseen
from the first day

From the first night
you will destroy me

You will destroy me
you will destroy me

My sin, my obsession
tormenting mad desire

Making a fool of me
tearing me apart, haunting me

Little pusher of illusion
l live with only one hope

Of seeing your skirt fly past
while you sing and dance

You will destroy me
you will destroy me

And l'll curse you
to my death

You will destroy me
you will destroy me

l could have foreseen
from the first day

From the first night
you will destroy me

You will destroy me
you will destroy me

l thought it was the autumn of life
and here l am, a young tree again

l thought l was a man of steel
far from the heat of flesh

l'm on fire, l'm burning
for the eyes of a stranger

That conceal much more mystery
than the light of the moon

You will destroy me
you will destroy me

And l'll curse you
to my death

You will destroy me
you will destroy me

l could have foreseen
from the first day

From the first night

You will destroy me
you will destroy me

You will destroy me

You will destroy me

You will destroy me

You will destroy me

Who is that man

ls it my shadow behind me
or a ghost in the night

Why would my shadow

Wear a coat
wear a hat

Who are you?

Desenmasc?rate!

Ac?rcate!

Date a conocer!

Soy tu conciencia
pon atenci?n a mis palabras.

Si quer?s escapar
de la horca

Soldado del Rey

Vete de
ese lugar

You are about to enter

A soldier of the King l am

But tell me

You who've followed me

Here

Are you not God's servant?

Of course!

En las calles de St. Denis

hay un lugar bendito

Puedes ver las velas quemando
mientras la tarde cae.

Ah? en el medio de la llanura

Si vas una vez

Querr?s ir todos los d?as

Realizar?n tus deseos
por peniques

Sin necesidad de discursos
o palabras de amor

Solo unos peniques
para hacer amor

Con las chicas que trabajan
en el Valle del Amor

Andalucinas, jud?as y p?ramos
llegan de cada puerto

Viajeros y mercantes
descansan ah? por un rato

Catalanes y Flamencos iguales
gastan todo su dinero en una noche

Las chicas que trabajan ah?

Escuchan las canciones de los juglares

Llorando por sus mal de amores
en el Valle del Amor Cabaret

Toca esos tambores
en el vecindario.

Ap?rate para ir
al Valle del Amor

Sin peligro
de enamorarse

Con lo que hay abajo de las ropas
en el Valle del Amor

Encontrar?s bajo el terciopelo

Flores por una noche,
placer por una noche

Cuando me siento enfermo de amor

Voy al Valle del Amor

Te quedar?s ah? hasta que amanezca,
en el Valle del Amor.

Disc?lpenme chicas

Estoy esperando a la encantadora Esmeralda

Ella vio mi destino
en la palma de mi mano

La puerta de la ciudad norte
en los alrdedores

La puerta de la ciudad norte
en los alrdedores

En las encrucijadas
de Popincourt

Todos los ladrones
todos los p?caros

Se encuentran en
el Valle del Amor

Hombres nobles
se deshonran ellos mismos

Los ver?s beber
hasta que mueran

En el Valle del Amor
las chicas que atienden

Realizar?n tus
deseos por peniques

No es necesario el oro
no es necesario tener joyas

No hay necesidad de discursos

Sensuous

For me voluptuous delight

From this pure body

For me all these delights

Nobody else but me

Will touch you

Black angel of mine

l'll love you
in the depths of night

With just one look
you set me on fire

Our skins of two colors

Like
a burning torch

l'll love you
love you even if l die

Take me
take me if that's my fate

Let us see
let us see if that's your fate

Phoebus

Esmeralda

Fate

Mistress of our destinies

Fate

When you cross our path

Fate
prince or pauper

Fate

Queen or prostitute

Fate

You hold our lives in your hand

Fate

Fate

Fate

Tell me about Florence

And the renaissance

Tell me about Bramante

And the Hell of Dante

ln Florence they say

The world is round

And there may be other lands

ln this world

Ships are sailing the oceans now

ln search of the passage to lndia

Luther will write the New Testament

And we're at the dawn
of a divided world

A certain Gutemberg

Has changed the face of the earth

With the presses in Nuremburg

That every second print

Poems on paper

Speeches and tracts

Revolutionary ideas

That sweep everything else aside

Small things outnumber big things

Thus literature will be the demise
of architecture

Schoolbooks will extinguish
cathedrals

The Bible will destroy the church
and men will kill God

This will destroy that

Ships are sailing the oceans now

ln search of the passage to lndia

Luther will write the New Testament

And we're at the dawn
of a divided world

This will destroy that

This will destroy that

The bells are quiet

The cathedral silent

Quasimodo is miserable

Quasimodo's in love

He hasn't rung the bells

For the last three days

Quasimodo is sad

Quasimodo is mad

Because he's lovesick

These bells l ring

Are my love and lovers

l want them to shout

To sing and cry out

By hail or by thunder

With rain or the the wind

l want them to resound

ln joy as in torment

Those that ring when we are born
those that ring when we die

Those that ring everday,
every night, every hour

Those that ring when we pray

Those that ring when we cry

Those that ring
for the early to rise

For Palm Sunday
for Quasimodo

For Christmas and All Saints' Day

For Annunciation
for the Resurrection

For Valentine's Day and Good Friday

For celebrations
and processions

The most beautiful is for Sunday

New Year's Day, Epiphany
and Easter, day of joy

Pentecost with its burning tongues

For the confirmation
and for communion

The Angelus and the knell,
dies irae dies illa

For Ascension Day
and Assumption

For all the hosannas and alleluias

But the ones that l prefer

Of all these iron ladies

Are the Three Marias

They're my dearest friends

There's Little Maria

For children who've just died

There's big Maria

For mariners who set sail

But when l ring the biggest Maria

For lovers to be wed

My heart breaks

l feel like l could die

Seeing them so happy
seeing them full of joy

And no woman ever will look
into my eyes

Seeing them newly married
to watch them fly away

To the stars under heaven's vault

All the bells that l ring
Kyrie Eleison

Hosanna alleluia
dies irae dies illa

All those bells of adversity
all those bells of felicity

All those bells
that never rang for me

The bells l ring

Are my friends, are my lovers

l want them to cry out loud

lf Esmeralda lives

To tell the world that Quasimodo
loves Esmeralda

Gringoire, where is your wife?

We don't see her dancing
at Notre Dame anymore

To tell you the truth, l don't know

You're a priest, l a poet

We don't share the same wives

Yours is religion, mine is poetry

Where is she
your Esmeralda

The streets of Paris

Are gloomy without her

She is alone
in a tower

Far away from those who fear

To be bewitched by her

What do you mean poet,
you speak with a forked tongue

Don't evade the question

Answer me, have you seen her?

Where is she
my Esmeralda

The den of thieves
has lost its queen

She is like
a swallow

Whose wings

Have been clipped

You will find her
in the prison of La Sante

lf you don't save her
she will be sentenced

To hang

l've heard enough, tell me no more

Where is she
our Esmeralda

The streets of Paris

Are gloomy without her

She is like
a swallow

Whose wings

Have been clipped

Caged birds

Can they still fly?

Violated children

Can they still love?

l was like a swallow

l arrived with the spring

Running through the city streets

Singing gipsy songs

Where are you, bell ringer?

Where are you, Quasimodo

Come to save me from the rope

Pull apart these bars

Where are you, my Esmeralda

Where are you hiding from me

Three days have gone by

We haven't seen you here

Did you leave on a trip

With your handsome captain

Without being engaged,
without a wedding

Like the pagans do

Could you be dead, perhaps

Without a prayer or a wreath

Don't ever let a priest

Come close to you

Remember that day at the fair

When they tied me to the wheel

When l gave you water to drink

l fell down on my knees

That's the day that we became

Friends for life, until death

There's something that binds

You to me, something very strong

Caged birds

Can they still fly?

Violated children

Can they still love?

Condemned

Arrested

Accused

Locked up

Thrown out

Expelled

Exiled

Deported

The color

Of my skin

Close

To yours

The song

You sing

With the music

l dance

The pain

Of exile

On the streets

Of your city

How to make a world

Without any more

Excluded

How to make a world

Without misery
or borders

Humiliated

Rejected

Oppressed

Revolted

Tortured

Suppressed

Decimated

Massacred

My country

l carry

ln my heart

ln my body

Your country

Brings me

Misfortune

And death

My warmth

From the south

Under your skies

Always grey

How to make a world

Without misery
or borders

How to make a world

Without any more

Excluded

Condemned

Arrested

Accused

Locked up

Thrown out

Expelled

Exiled

Deported

Condemned

Condemned

Esmeralda, you stand accused

Of wounding the archers' captain

lf he is wounded, he's still alive

Oh! Let me see him
for just one moment

You seduced and bewitched him

You stabbed him with a knife

l did not do it, l swear it

But you were alone with him,
in bed

A diabolic priest is harassing me

He appears everywhere in the night

This girl has hallucinations

Born in her imagination

He resembles you a bit, Sir

Look at the fire in her eyes

She's a witch, a foreigner

She's a gipsy, a non believer

Do you confess to the crime
of which you are accused

l am a victim
l have nothing to confess

Torture her

Question her

lf she endures
she must be a tough one

Put her little foot
in the vice and tighten it

Tighten it!

Do you confess?

l love him! l confess!

Untie her feet and hands

Murderers! Murderers!

Gipsy girl, you have confessed
to all your acts of magic,

Prostitution and the harassment
of Phoebus de Chateaupers

You will be taken in chemise,
barefoot, your neck in a noose

To the Place de Greve
where you will hang

From the gallows of the city

Phoebus

lf by some chance he's still alive
tell him that l love him still

Phoebus

lf you hear me, come save me
make them hear the truth

Phoebus

Tell them l did not kill you

Phoebus

That knife l had
l put it on the floor

Phoebus

That man in black that followed us
l saw him bending over you

Phoebus

With my knife he stabbed you

Phoebus

Promise me you will always
remember Esmeralda

Phoebus

She who danced in the square
and gave her life to you

Phoebus

Oh! Take me far away from here

To the hills of Andalusia

Phoebus

l was a happy man before l met you

When relegated to my inner core

Lay the sexuality
l stifled in adolescence

While l served my two loves,
religion and science

Oh! A priest who loves a woman

Loves her to the depths of his soul

Against wind and waves
l was solid as rock

Straight and true
as a cathedral's spire

Then you came like a worm
to knaw my insides

And awaken a fire
l thought had long died

Oh! A priest who loves a woman

Loves her to the depths of his soul

l lived far from women,
and the tortures of flesh

When in the dark of night
there came a flash

Distracted from prayer,
l opened the blind

To the dawn which
revealed you in kind

Oh! A priest who loves a woman

Loves her, yes loves her
to the depths of his soul

Oh! A priest who loves a woman

With one hand caress me
the other to whip

Let me atone for my sins

The hell that you'll go to
will be mine as well

And will be my paradise

Oh! A priest who loves a woman

Loves her, yes loves her
to the depths of his soul

Oh! A priest who loves a woman

A woman

When you pass, upon your steed
what style, what grace

The perfect image of rectitude
a figure of strength

Or perhaps you're a rake
an animal on the make

Chasing after adventure
does a heart beat under that armor?

Mine is pure as the sky is blue
let me heal your wounds

Let's forget this misfortune
l'll love you if you swear

l'll love you if you swear
that they will hang

The Zingara

My little girl's dreams
expand and fade

As l toss them away

Don't be deceived because l'm
white as a lamb inside

Only my coat touched by dirt

Your proclamations are insults
your words of love are false

My heart grows harder
and l'll back you against the wall

Free me from these chains
take me, you brute

Teach me the ways of lust
l'll love you if you swear

l'll love you if you swear
that they will hang

The Zingara

l'll love you if you swear
l'll love you if you swear

That they will hang
Esmeralda!

That they will hang
the Zingara

l was bewitched
in body and mind

The gipsy put a spell on me

l lost my head
and all my sense

ln that labyrinth
l almost met my death

The man who cheated on you
is not the same

As the man today
who says he loves you

l'm cured
in heart and soul

And if you'll have me
l'll come back to you

l was bewitched
in body and mind

The gypsy only wanted my money

l lost my head
and all my sense

l lost my head
and all my sense

But now l'm back safe and sane

l was bewitched
in body and mind

The gypsy is condemned to die

l lost my head
and all my sense

Deep inside it's you l love

lt's you that l still love
it's you that l still love

l'm a priest,
here to help you face your death

l'm cold, l'm hungry, let me go

l've done no wrong

Hear the bell ringing
it's five in the morning

Soon this door will open
in an hour you'll be dead

ln an hour l'll be fine!

We shall see if you will dance

Once more before the gallows

What have l done to you

To make you hate me so much?

lt is not hate

l love you!

l love you

But what did l do to you

To make you love me so much?

Me, a poor gypsy
and you, the priest of Notre Dame

One morning you danced

On the square, in the sun

Never have l known

Something like this

A shiver shook me

And ran through my spine
and l still remember

Since that day

When l look into the mirror

lt's Lucifer l seem to see

lnstead of me

l wait for him, he will come

My Phoebus, my sun

He'll be my love

My lover, my miracle

Come closer, assassin

l'll kill you with these hands
no, l'm not afraid of you

l'll bite you like a dog
go away bird of ill omen

l asked only a moment of pleasure

l give you a choice

Before dawn breaks

The gallows or me

Death or love

The tomb or my bed

lt's life or death
you only need to say yes

And l'll get you out

l promise to return you

To your gypsy brothers

To your devil's partners

Go away!

Go away!

Go away!

Go away!

Set free

Released

Escaped

Vanished

l set them

Free

They've

Escaped

Set free-----Released

Escaped-----Vanished

Set ablaze---On fire

Rebellion----Revolution

Set free-----Released

Escaped-----Vanished

Set ablaze---On fire

Rebellion----Revolution

They were locked up

And l opened the cage

They escaped

They ran away

They demand the right to asylum

Give them the right to asylum

Set free

Escaped

Set ablaze

Rebellion

They demand the right to asylum

Set free!

Set free!

Set free!

Moon

Shining high above

Upon

Parisian roofs

See

How a man
can suffer from love

Bright

Solitary star

Fading away

With the coming of day

Hear

Rising up to you
the song of the earth

Listen to the cry

Of a man in pain

For whom

A million stars

Mean nothing compared

To the eyes of the one

He loves

A deadly love

Moon

Moon

Shining high above

Before

The break of day

Hear

The howling heart
of the human beast

lt's the plaint

Of Quasimodo

Who cries

ln mad despair

His voice

Up hill and down dale

Flies up

To you

Moon!

Watch

Over this strange world

That joins

lts voice with choirs of angels

Moon

Shining high above

To

Shed your light upon my pen

See

How a man
can suffer from love

Love

l leave you a whistle
so you can call me

During the day, you must stay here
but you can walk at night

On the roofs of the cathedral
under the stars

You don't hear me
you're already asleep

lt's a nasty world out there

You're beautiful when you sleep

ln your sleep
Esmeralda

Are you dreaming of your sun?

God this world is unfair
he's so handsome and l'm so ugly

Even if l gave you the moon
you'd still refuse to love me

And he, without making a move
without a word or a glance

And he, without making a move
without a word or a glance

Put some tenderness
into your big black eyes

You'll give yourself to him
and believe all of his oaths

You love him for his stature
without looking at what's inside

God this world is unfair
he a lord and l a lout

He'll give you the moon
when you've asked for nothing

God this world is unfair
go love your shining knight

The satin of your dark skin
is not made for tramps

My ugliness is an insult
to your brazen beauty

An error of mother nature's
didn't grant me any favors

God this world is unfair
our fate is not theirs

We don't have a fortune
but them, do they have hearts?

They're born into lace
to make love and war

But we poor earthworms
our lives are filled with beauty

And on which side is God
on the side of monstrances

Or on the side of those
who pray morning and night

This Jesus that we so adore
has He always preferred

The three wise men and their gold
above us poor shepherds?

God this life is cruel
for two searching hearts

l so ugly and you so fair
how could you possibly love me?

The night is so lovely

And l am so lonely

l don't want to die

l want to sing again
to dance and laugh

l don't want to die

Die

Before having loved

To live

For the one you love

Love

More than the love itself

To give

Without expectation

Free

To choose how you live

Without excommunication

Without interdictions

Free

Without a God or a country

The only baptism

The rain that falls from the sky

To live

For the one you love

Love

More than the love itself

To give

Without expectation

The two worlds that now separate us

One day will unite

Oh! l'd love to believe it

Even at the cost of my life

l'd give my life

To change history

To live

For the one you love

Love

More than the love itself

To give

Without expectation

Love

Like the night loves the day

Love

Until you die of love

Until you die of love

Asylum!

Asylum!

Asylum!

Asylum!

Asylum!---

Soldiers of the king l exhort you
to cross this door

ln all conscience
in the name of decency

To break the right

Oh! Little sister

ln the name of all my brothers

Listen to my prayer

Here you grew up

Here you belong

Shout it out loud

For me Esmeralda

We are
foreigners

Outlaws

Men
and women

Homeless

They're a thousand or more

At the city doors

Soon they'll be

Ten thousand
then a hundred thousand

The world will change

And intermix

They'll be milions

Who will demand

Asylum Asylum!

ln the name of the king
the order here is rendered

By the court of Paris

Young Esmeralda

You will be hanged
for the crime of sorcery

As for you
outlaws

You will be
expelled

Exiled

Deported

Expelled

Frollo!

My master, my savior

Priest of the Lord

You have a heart after all

A heart

A heart that can love

A heart that can cry

A heart that can bleed

A heart that can kill

Look at her

Your fair Esmeralda

Remember Quasimodo

The one who danced there
on her stage

l handed her to the executioner

Because she didn't want me

You did that, you!

She will die
like Jesus on the cross

Look over there

On Place de Greve the gallows await

Your Esmeralda

They're hanging her
at the break of dawn

Ha ha ha ha......

Frollo!

Give her to me

Return her to me

Leave her with me

She's mine

My Esmeralda

Don't go

Stay with me

ln times to come

They will find buried

Our two skeletons entwined

To tell the whole universe

How much Quasimodo loved

Esmeralda the Zingara

He who God made so ugly

To help him carry his cross

To help him carry his cross

Devour my body, drink my blood

Vultures of Montfaucon

May death for all time

Unite our two names

Let my soul fly away

Far from the misery of the world

Let my love blend

With the light of the universe

With the light of the universe

Dance my Esmeralda

Sing my Esmeralda

Dance once more for me

l want you desperately

Dance my Esmeralda

Sing my Esmeralda

Let me go with you

To die for you is not death

Dance my Esmeralda

Sing my Esmeralda

Come and sleep in my arms

l want you desperately

Dance my Esmeralda

Sing my Esmeralda

Beyond the beyond

To die for you is not

death

Dance my Esmeralda

Sing my Esmeralda

Let me go with you

To die for you is not

To die for you is not
