In fair Paris in the year of our Lord

A tale of love and desire

We the artists of stature unknown

In sculpture and verse

Will attempt to transcribe

This story for you and posterity

The time of the cathedrals has come

As the world is entering

A new millenium

Man reached for the stars

To write his story

In glass and stone

Brick by brick, day after day

Century after century, with love

He saw the raising of towers

That he built with his hands

Poets and minstrels

Sang songs of love

That promised better times

For all of mankind

The time of the cathedrals has come

As the world enters

A new millenium

Man reached for the stars

To write his story

In glass and stone

The time of the cathedrals has come

As the world enters

To write his story

In glass and stone

The time of the cathedrals is gone

Hordes of barbarians

Let them in, the pagans and vandals

The end of this world

Is predicted for the year 2000

Sir Phoebus de Chateaupers captain of the King's archers

I summon you to chase away

All these outlaws

By all means, we have to stop this horde of strangers

Who disrupt the peace

Of the citizens of Paris

By your orders, my Lord Archidiacre

In the name of God I'll slay

And chase from your sight

All those louts with no standing

Where are you from, lovely stranger?

Daughter of the stars or the earth

Fair bird of paradise

Why are you here?

Gipsy

Nobody knows my land

Gipsy

I'm a child of the road

Gipsy, Gipsy

Where will I be tomorrow

Gipsy, Gipsy

It's written in the palm of my hand

My mother told me of Spain

As if it were her home

About the bandits in the hills

In the hills of Andalusia

In the hills of Andalusia

My father's gone, my mother too

Paris is my home

But when I dream of the sea

I'm transported far away

To the hills of Andalusia

Gipsy

Nobody knows my land

Gipsy

I'm a child of the road

Gipsy, Gipsy

Where will I be tomorrow

Gipsy, Gipsy

It's written in the palm of my hand

My childhood passed

Barefoot in the hills of Provence

For gipsies the road is long

The road is long

And I will keep on walking

Beyond the roads of France

I'll walk them to the end of the earth

To the end of the earth

An Andalusian river

Runs in my blood

Runs through my veins

Are the skies of Andalusia

Worth

Going back to?

Gipsy

Nobody knows my land

Gipsy

I'm a child of the road

Gipsy, Gipsy

Where will I be tomorrow

Gipsy, Gipsy

It's written in the palm of my hand

It's written in the palm of my hand

You know, Esmeralda

You're no longer a child

And sometimes I look at you

With different eyes

You were only eight years old

When your mother left

Taken by death

To her home in Andalusia

She trusted you to me

And with jealousy

I watched over you

Until today

You know, Esmeralda

Men are wicked

Be careful when you run

In fields and streets

Do you understand me?

You're about to discover love

Nothing is the same as before

My fourteen summers are for you

This diamond necklace is for me

If your words and promises are lies

I won't believe them

Your maiden's heart is mine

Your eyes like a dove are for me

The stars twinkle in the skies

Less brightly than these eyes

He who my heart desires

Is a fair knight

Who doesn't know

The realms of my love

If I didn't know it

I can see it in your eyes

The one who wins your love

Will be a lucky man

Stop your search

Love is here

Here forever

So it is

The day will be merry the day

When we marry

All the gold that still lies deep

Beneath the earth in veins asleep

I'll use to clothe your body

Your body that you'll give to me

All those lovers' lines

All those songs of desire

Better than any troubadour

You will sing to me

Stop your search

Love is here

Here forever

So it is

The day will be merry the day

When we marry

Stop your search love is here

Here forever so it is

The day will be merry the day

When we marry

The day will be merry the day

When we marry

When we marry

Feast of fools!

Feast of fools!

Feast of fools!

Feast of fools!

I will preside

Over this feast of fools

Like we know how it's done and we know how to have fun

Feast of fools!

Feast of fools!

Take the ugliest

Of those on the street

Let them parade on the city's main square

And the one in that crowd

That conjures up

The ugliest face will get the crown

The Pope of Fools!

The Pope of Fools!

He will wear the crown

He will wear the crown

The Pope of Fools

The

Feast

Of

Fools

The Feast of Fools

The Feast of Fools

The Feast of Fools

The Feast of Fools

The Feast of Fools

The Feast of Fools

But who is that there

Hiding in the back

Is he not the monster that will wear the crown

The Pope of Fools!

The Pope of Fools!

He will wear the crown he will wear the crown

The Pope of Fools!

He's the bell ringer

The hunchback

He's certainly the ugliest he is Quasimodo

Now he starts giving

Poor Esmeralda the eye

Hunchbacked gimp, missing an eye he's the one who'll wear the crown

The Pope of Fools!

He will wear the crown! he will wear the crown!

Qua-si-mo-do!

He will wear the crown! he will wear the crown!

The Pope of Fools!

He will wear the crown! he will wear the crown!

Qua-si-mo-do!

The Pope of Fools!

Little girls you won't mock anymore

When you see me on the streets I'm Quasimodo the Beast

They've crowned me

The Pope of Fools

Today is the Epiphany

And for one day I've the power of a king

Will you love me,

Esmeralda?

Will you love me?

But you don't care

Esmeralda

Oh! You couldn't care less

That they crowned me

The Pope of Fools

Little girls

Singing rondos

Mocking Quasimodo

The hunchback

How does it make you feel

That I'm this ugly?

I hate the parents that gave me birth

And abandoned me without love

Will you love me,

Esmeralda?

Will you love me?

But you don't care

Esmeralda

Oh! You couldn't care less

That they crowned me

The Pope of Fools

The Pope of Fools

The Pope of Fools

The Pope of Fools

Beware! this girl is not from here

She's a gipsy a witch

She's a bitch a streetcat

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 I will do it for you

Anything you like you know

Anything at all

I will do it for you I 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 I can't read

Your true feelings

I belong to you

to the depths of my soul

Like the deepest love of a dog

For his master

I belong to you to the depths of my soul

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

In the heat of Paris

A showplace of lust

On the Pont-au-Change tonight

An angel I did meet

That smiled at me

Then disappeared

On the streets of Paris

I followed her and lost her

Pursued her into the night

lnto all the laughter and carnal desire

Nights where every vice is satisfied

In 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

I am the captain

In 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

I'll be there to see you

In "The Valley of Love Caberet"

In "The Valley of Love Caberet"

Here we are, brothers all

In 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 here in the den of thieves

Prostitutes dance with hoods

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Beggers and bandits dance alike

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

We're all gallows' birds

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

We're all the same breed

Of the homeless seed

You won't find here a nation or creed

No nation or creed

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 here in the den of thieves

We're all on the lam

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Thieves and killers drink from the same cup

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

As we are all outlaws

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

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 I say to you

The poets of France

Are only fit to hang

The poets of France

The poets of France are only fit to hang

And you my beauty

My lovely Esmeralda

Will you take as husband

This worthless minstrel?

This worthless minstrel?

If he's free, I'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 here in the den of thieves

Prostitutes dance with hoods

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Beggers and bandits dance alike

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

We're all gallows' birds

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Gipsies and villains sing the same song

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

We're all on the lam

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Thieves and killers drink from the same cup

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

As we are all outlaws

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Here in the den of thieves here in the den of thieves

Here in the den of thieves

Now may I know

Who I've the honor of marrying

I'm Grignoire the Bard the prince of Paris's streets!

He's the prince of Paris's streets!

I'm not a ladies man if you desire, I will make you

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

If I recall my latin

The word Phoebus means sun

Phoebus means sun

He's bright as the sun

Is he a prince, the son of a king?

I feel love

Deep inside

Stronger than myself

He's bright as the sun

He's a prince, the son of a king

Of a king......I think

He's bright as the sun

He's a rascal, a soldier

When he holds me tight

I want to run away, but I 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

As the sun

Torn

I'm a man divided

Torn

Between the two women I love

The two women who love me

Do I have to tear my heart in two?

Torn

I'm two men in one

Torn

Between the two women I love

The two women who love me

Is it my fault that I'm happy?

One for the day

One for the night

One for love

The other for life

One for forever

Until the end of time

The other for a certain while

Perhaps a little less

Torn

I'm a man divided

Torn

Between the two women I love

The two women who love me

But I'm not complaining

Torn

I'm two men in one

Torn

Between the two women I love

And the two women who love me

Is it my fault that I'm normal?

One for heaven

One for hell

One for sweet

One for sour

One to whom

I swore every oath

The other with whom I undo them

Torn

I'm a man divided

Torn

Between the two women I love

The two women who love me

Do I have to break my heart in two?

No

Torn

I'm two men in one

Torn

Between the two women I love

The two women who love me

Is it my fault that I'm happy?

Torn

Torn

Torn

I'm two men in one

Between the two women I love

The two women who love me

Do I have to break my heart in two?

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?

I wouldn't dare

And I forbid you

I 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"

Is 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

I'm thirsty!

Give me a drop to drink!

I'm thirsty!

I'm thirsty!

Give me something to drink!

Beauty

Beauty

Beauty

It seems a word invented for her

When she dances, revealing her body

Like a bird spreads its wings to fly

I feel the devil take me by the feet

My eyes gazed under her gipsy dress

What shall I 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

Is 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 I a criminal if I desire her?

She

Who all thought a whore, a girl of the street

Suddenly seems to be humanity's burden

Oh! I 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

I'm not a man to trust

I'll pluck the flower of Esmeralda's love

My eyes gazed under her gipsy dress

What shall I 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, are watching over you

They'll protect you from any fool

Whenever you need shelter

Come to me, I'll protect you

The Notre Dame of Paris

Is my house, my nest

It's my city, my life

My air, my roof, it's my bed

It's my song, my voice

My reason, my folly

My passion, my country

It's my prison, my homeland

Your friends the gargoyles are my friends too

They make me laugh on days when I'm bored

You're like them and I like you for that

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

In my house

It's always comfy

Warm in the winter

In the summer it's cool

You are always welcome

Any time of the year

If you like, my house

Could be yours

Whenever you need shelter

Come to me, I'll protect you

In my house, in your house

It's always comfy, it's always comfy

Warm in the winter warm in the winter

In the summer it's cool in the summer it's cool

You are always welcome I'm always welcome

Any time of the year any time of the year

My house, if you like your house if i like

Could be yours

Could be mine

Ave Maria

Forgive me

If before you I don't kneel

Ave Maria

I who won't go on my knees

Ave Maria

Protect me

From misery, evil and the fools

Who rule the world

Ave Maria

Foreigners are everywhere

Ave Maria

Listen to me

Take away the walls between us

Between brothers everywhere

Ave Maria

Watch over me day and night

Ave Maria

Protect me

Guard my love and life

Ave Maria

I feel my life slipping

lnto some unknown world

I feel the crowd receding

When I walk the streets

I'm stripped bare

Stripped bare

This ocean of passion pulsing through my veins

Causes all my madness my loss, my bad luck

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

Slowly I will drown without a bit of remorse

You will destroy me you will destroy me

And I'll curse you to my death

You will destroy me

You will destroy me

I 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 I 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 I'll curse you to my death

You will destroy me you will destroy me

I could have foreseen from the first day

From the first night you will destroy me

You will destroy me you will destroy me

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

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

I'm on fire, I'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 I'll curse you to my death

You will destroy me you will destroy me

I 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

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

Why would my shadow

Wear a coat wear a hat

Who are you?

Unmask yourself!

Come closer!

ldentify yourself!

I'm your conscience heed my words

If you want to escape the gallows

Soldier of the King

Go away from the place

You are about to enter

A soldier of the King I am

But tell me

You who've followed me

Here

Are you not God's servant?

Of course!

Up the street of St. Denis

There is a blessed place

You can see the candles burning as evening falls

There in the middle of the plain

If you go there once

You'll want it everyday at The Valley of Love Cabaret

At The Valley of Love the girls who serve

Will cater to your desires for pennies

No need for gold nor for jewels

No need for speeches or words of love

Only a few pennies to make love

With the girls who serve in The Valley of Love

Travelers and merchants rest there for awhile

Catalonians and Flemish alike blow all their money in one night

The girls who serve

Listen to this minstrel's song

Crying out his lovesickness in The Valley of Love Cabaret

Beat those drums in the neighborhood

Hurry along to The Valley of Love

No danger of falling in Love

With what's under the clothes in The Valley of Love

You wil find under the velvet

Flowers for one night pleasure for one day

When I feel lovesick

I'm off to the Valley of Love

You stay there 'til break of day at The Valley of Love Cabaret

She saw her destiny in the palm of my hand

North city door on the outskirts

At the crossroads of Popincourt

Meet each other at the Valley of Love

Noblemen dishonour themselves

You'll see them drink 'til they're dead drunk

At The Valley of Love the girls who serve

Will cater to your desires for pennies

No need for gold nor for jewels

No need for speeches or words of love

Only a few pennies to make love
