Belle

Belle

[Quasimodo:]
Belle
This word seems to have been invented for her
When she dances and bares her body, she's like
A bird stretching its wings to fly away
Then I feel like Hell is opening up beneath me
 
I've looked under her gypsy dress
What use is it for me to still pray to Notre Dame?
Who's the one who will throw the first stone at her
Such a person doesn't deserve to be on earth
 
Oh, Lucifer
Oh, allow me just this once
To run my fingers through Esmeralda's hair
 
[Frollo:]
Belle
Is it the devil who has taken hold of her
To turn my eyes away from the eternal God
Who put this carnal desire within me
To keep me from looking toward Heaven
 
She carries original sin within her
Does desiring her make me a criminal?
She
Who was deemed a harlot, a nobody
Suddenly seems to bear the cross of humanity
 
Oh, Notre-Dame
Oh, allow me just this once
To enter Esmeralda's garden
 
[Phoebus:]
Belle
Despite her enchanting big black eyes
Could the maiden still be a virgin?
When her movements show me mountains and wonders
Under her rainbow-colored skirt
 
My sweet, let me be unfaithful to you
Before leading you to the altar
Is there a man who could look away from her
Under penalty of being turned into a statue of salt
 
Oh Lily
I am no man of faith
I'll pluck the flower of love from Esmeralda
 
[Together:]
I've looked under her gypsy dress
What use is it for me to still pray to Notre Dame?
Who's the one who will throw the first stone at her
Such a person doesn't deserve to be on earth
 
Oh, Lucifer
Oh, allow me just this once
To run my fingers through Esmeralda's hair
Esmeralda
