Quasimodo:
|
So many times out here
|
I've watched a happy pair
|
Of lovers walking in the night
|
They had a kind of glow around them
|
It almost looked like heaven's light
|
|
I knew I'd never know
|
That warm and loving glow
|
Though I might wish with all my might
|
No face as hideous as my face
|
Was ever meant for heaven's light
|
|
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
|
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
|
|
I dare to dream that she
|
Might even care for me
|
And as I ring these bells tonight
|
My cold dark tower seems so bright
|
I swear it must be heaven's light
|
|

|
Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God almighty)

Of my virtue I am justly proud

The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
|
|
Priests:
|
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)
|
|
Frollo:
|
Then tell me, Maria
|
Why I see her dancing there
|
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul
|
|
Priests:
|
Cogitatione (In thought)
|
|
Frollo:
|
I feel her, I see her
|
The sun caught in raven hair
|
Is blazing in me out of all control
|
|
Priests:

Verbo et opere (In word and deed)
|
|
Frollo:
|
Like fire

Desire
|
Is turning me to sin
|
|
It's not my fault
|

Frollo:
|
It's not my fault

|
|
Frollo:
|
If in God's plan
|
|
Priests:
|
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
|
|
Frollo:
|
He made the devil so much
|
Stronger than a man
|
|
Priests:
|
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)
|
|
Frollo:
|
Protect me, Maria
|
Don't let this siren cast her spell
|
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
|
Destroy Esmeralda
|
And let her taste the fires of hell
|
Or else let her be mine and mine alone
|
|
Guard:
|
Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped
|
|
Frollo:
|
What?
|
|
Guard:
|
No longer in the cathedral. She's gone
|
|
Frollo:
|
But how? Never mind. Get out, you idiot
|
I'll find her. I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris
|
|
Hellfire
|
Dark fire
|
Now gypsy, it's your turn
|
Choose me or
|
Your pyre
|
Be mine or you will burn
|
|

God have mercy on her
|

|
God have mercy on me
|
|
Priests:
|
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
|
|
Frollo:
|
But she will be mine
|
Or she will burn!
