I can literally feel his frustration and despair in my bones.... For a second, one can forget that he is a xenophobic and exploitative bigot, and see him as a fundamentally good man, embittered by a life of solitude, empty ritual and chastity
The combination of them three is ideal!!!!Quasimodo's heart +Frollo's intelligence +Phoebus' beauty are the desire of every woman...Poor Esmeralda found them all apart...

I'm so sorry for Daniel, but... Vittorio is the best ever!!! -3 his voice is magic!! He's so passionate, so... Hot! :) the best Frollo, Vittorio Matteucci!! -3
@LaVally93 And the original is the original... that's the show that was suscessful enough to bring it into other languages... In my eyes this version will always be the best... best word play to.
@LaVally93 Sorry I did not mean to sound like I was snapping at you. ;) I'm from Geneva Switzerland, I was a fan from even before the show started (they released an album, and they where going on many TV shows) and followed the hype the show made from the beggining, so I hold the original version quite dearly and with jealousy.
well... it's the only translation we got on youtube and many ppl perceive it through these words((( too bad it's wrong...but I'm also so glad I found at least at least THESE subtitles and good quality video!!!!
@Rosy7531 I agree. It's extremely inaccurate but it's something at least. It was obviously translated by someone who is most definately not poetic. Better than nothing, though.
Daniel is the best Frollo ever... the french lyrics- they are great, and then english translation really isn't the best.. People- don't read the translation of the lyrics- just listen to Daniel's amazing voice <3
Ласкай одной рукой, и пытай другой, Дай искупить грех мой И в ад с тобой пойду всегда и знай, Где ты мне ведь не ад, а рай. О, Боже правый, моя вина: Люблю - Да, люблю! - Только этим душа полна! О, Боже правый, моя вина – Люблю
Not an exact translation, but I hope the main meaning is there. I changed some lines of the official Russian translation to be closer to the French version I love. I hope Russians like :) I love his voice
Я был счастливей всех, пока не знал любви. Наука и Господь мои [все] занимали дни И голос земных страстей, казалось, во мне заглох И душу мою всецело занял Бог. О, Боже правый, моя вина: Люблю - только этим душа полна.
Был непоколебим я как скала и тверд, И вот этот камень весь источен и стерт.
Проснулся спящий вулкан и сжигает меня живьем, И в нем моя гибель - и счастье в нем. О, Боже правый, моя вина: Люблю - только этим душа полна.
I love this song and his voice! I wished the official Russian translation was closer to the French version, which I love, so I edited some lines of it to fit better with the original meaning :) I will post it in the next few comments.
If you like the work of Daniel or You are fans of him I will recommend you to see the musical Le petit prince. Daniel is the main character and does a wonderful job. The scenes in Which I Appears with the prince are very nice and tender. Daniel gets your emotions. The problem is That It is in French, Without subtitles. You Can find the lyrics of the musical on Daniel Lavoie's page. Put this on youtube to see the musical Le petit prince: [LPP] Le Petit Prince - part 1 / 13 (ALYSSZ)
I love Daniel Lavoie! He is a great actor and a wonderful singer. I have seen many versions of Notre Dame de Paris and many actors playing Frollo and I think Daniel is the best.
Daniel does an amazing job as Frollo...I feel all of his emotions as Frollo, the desire, the frustration, his lust...how many singers can do that....he did a fabulous performance.
I don't agree with the translation , it's actually kinda bad... Words in french are stronger and more beautiful. "solid as a rock" WTF. It's really more poetic than that. I think " Unwavering " is better for "inébranlable". "lay of sexualité" is rather " strengh of sexualité" , " two loves " is " two mistress" ... It's not the same meaning, in french anyway.
Anyway, the original, the first and the best. Lyrics & actors/singer.

Daniel has a perfect voice,powerful,warm,passionate,sexy which makes Frollo even more compelling
I think he does a great job,he is very expressive with his handsome face, eyes,hands,this is exactly how Frollo has to be played .He is a broken man,obsessed,crazed by feelings he had kept himself from having,desires,needs he repressed and now he doesn't know how to act,what to do with them,he can't control them and gives in so awkwardness,stiffness combined with pain and vulnerability is perfect.
@ntorneiro nasty? really? how is he nasty cause he's actually quite an attractive man, especially during the time he played in this musical . Also, his voice is hands down one of the most beautiful I've ever heard(in general not only singing). Oh and *gasp* some of us appreciate more mature men so..
Daniel with his hands shows the helplessness and audacity of the most magic moment of his life. He is in love. And he doesn't know what to do with it. Some people are truly shallow.
Part 3 : Car à la fin, je pense que la devise 'Si je ne peut pas lui avoir, alors personne ne règne'. Ainsi, je pense aussi, la potence.L'apparition de Daniel Lavoie manque au tout, vraiment, un peu de rond qui a besoin de la passion et de l'amour eux ce rôle.
Magnifique!
Alors, c'est le mien de manière condamnée la longue opinion ^^ Trois parties, ma bonté ^^
Part 2 : Il montre la demande, le vouloir, le cassé ou le froid et détruit. Je dirais l'amour, est là déjà, seulement justement qu'il est plus 'd'obsession'. Que je le mien est que cela détruit, vraiment, encore plus qu'un peu d'autre. Il commet au fond le suicide.
Part 1: Comme le premier : Il est condamné chaudement comme Frollo.
Ce que je pense comme l'opinion sérieuse en plus :
Il est dans chaque Frollo que l'on connaît comme ça une certaine passion. Et celui-ci, ici on voit, vraiment, très clairement. Particulièrement à ce titre.Ici il est tellement qu'il fait prisonnier Esmeralda, et Esmeralda adresse, vraiment, l'ultimatum. On tâte qu'il lutte, vraiment, mais malheureusement disparaît à la fin, par l'obsession.
Whoa...amazing. Daniel Lavoie is the first actor to make me feel sympathy for Frollo in any version. I think the awkward hands thing is perfect - in the book Victor Hugo says that Frollo twists his hands so much that the washerwoman gets upset about the fingernail marks and hand-creases in his surplice. Very tormented character, wonderfully sung and acted!
@sjsj83927 Because Phoebus is soooo pretty... Frollo is a priest and Quasimodo is ugly. (But I still think Quasimodo is less ugly than the two others... Actually, he's the only one who seems love Esmeralda with a true love. Not just have sex with her...)
@sjsj83927 i think she would have died with either of them. simply out of jealousy frollo wouldn't have let her stay with quasimodo... yet at the same time she wouldn't last long with frollo. he is after all a priest, bound by his oath. she was damned... unfortunately.
Supposedly, Frollo is old and Quasimodo is ugly.. So she choose the one her age that looks good (though I'd chosen that other guy which name I suddenly forgot XD)
@mizyki Frollo isn't old, he's Phoebus' age. The only thing is he looks older while Phoebus is super hot. Esmeralda only picked the best looking guy without a care for what was inside any of the two who were so mad for her. But then again, she was just a naive, teenage girl.
Priests historically had been married. Because of primorgenial, whereby land and other property transferred to the eldest son and not the Church, the Pope decreed priests not marry.
What God has yoked together, let no pull apart. Jeremiah was under divine command to remain single & not to father children since their were desperate circumstances coming on that nation in which children would be ruthlessly slaughtered by a cruel conqueror. Jeremiah 16:1-4. In the New Testament, the apostle Paul explained the benefits of singleness, 1 Cor. 7: 1,2,8,9, 29-38; 9:5. Yes, it's best not to marry if one doesn't think they keep a commitment, and etc....
@kierkegaardwife Isn't he amazing? I don't understand the people who claim that he's not a good actor. Daniel's Frollo is a subtle one, everything is under the surface and then it erupts. The way he moves, the way he sings, it's full of emotion, the people who claim that he can't act must be blind.
Well, I guess it depends on which part of the New Testament you're in as to whether or not marriage is a good thing; though it's certainly never forbidden.
Professional clergy isn't addressed at all, scripturally, for the Christian faith--a point which I find very interesting indeed.
Je me répète peut-être, mais Daniel Lavoie a vraiment ce rôle dans la peau, avec son regard et ses quelques gestes, on sent bien qu'il souffre de ses sentiments... Et les paroles sont belles !
I don't want to start a religions discussion, but as a man and a catholic, this song makes me weep not only for Frollos internal drama, which is the greatest antagonistic force in this story, but also for all the great minds that were forced to turn to eclesiatic and dogmatic pursuits instead of the natural sciences and the advancement of the human condition. To me, that was Victor Hugo's greatest criticism of the church and organised religion, and still valid today.
The one thing I find amusing about Daniel Lavoie is the way he never seems to know what to do with his hands, so they're either resting awkwardly at his sides, fists clenched, or gripping his forearms. It's cute! It kind of adds to the tormented yet awkward character of Frollo.
I actually and the weird hands thing is an intended gesture and a very inspired personal addition in expressing his feelings. And that makes him an extraordinary interpreter.
Daniel is an amazing interpreter, his body language is telling the whole story, he wants her but is fighting against himself and he is going crazy... in fact, at that point he is already mad.
If you watch videos of Daniel performing with his own songs and in "Le petit prince" you will notice that he has no problem with his hands and his body language is very different from what you see here, his body language as Frollo is part of the character.
Well, the lyrics are very beautiful, but I don't think the subtitles are very faithful: in a passage they say "Then you came like a worm" and that's referred to Esmeralda. Mmh, are we sure that's the right translation? I don't know very well french, but it sounds badly to me.
I don't think this translation is really right. I think their use is to give people who don't understand french an overview of the story and erverything.
There are also english versions of this musical, and there i think its better translated, becaus there it has to fit to the story.
61Monica, I see what you are talking about. I know both languages(French and English) I conclude ," The overall translation is far to be professional".This drama and the song are so beautiful to have too many mistakes in the english lyricsm..
1:07 He actually says, "And awaken a fire of a volcano"...

I absolutely adore this song! I'm so happy I cannot imagine what is it like to love someone so much, but not being able to have him or her. Genius!
And his voice makes me shiver!

One of my favourite songs and he performs it brilliantly. I'd have difficulty not thinking of him as Frollo as he is so in touch with the character.

Is it me or is the subtitles of "Oh! A priest who loves a woman" wrong?
Doesn't it mean To be "lended" and love a woman ?
CantNotLoveMusic 2 years ago
no. pretre = priest.
pretté and prette* = lende.
* i don't know how to spell it
TheChaoticGood 2 years ago
Well, wouldn't that sound kinda weird?
'Etre prêtre et aimer une femme' = To be a priest and to love a woman - though this would be too literal, so the translation is fine.

Very literally, "etre pretre et aimer une femme" is "to be a priest and love a woman"

Priests historically had been married. Because of primorgenial, whereby land and other property transferred to the eldest son and not the Church, the Pope decreed priests not marry.

What God has yoked together, let no pull apart. Jeremiah was under divine command to remain single & not to father children since their were desperate circumstances coming on that nation in which children would be ruthlessly slaughtered by a cruel conqueror. Jeremiah 16:1-4. In the New Testament, the apostle Paul explained the benefits of singleness, 1 Cor. 7: 1,2,8,9, 29-38; 9:5. Yes, it's best not to marry if one doesn't think they keep a commitment, and etc....

@kierkegaardwife Isn't he amazing? I don't understand the people who claim that he's not a good actor. Daniel's Frollo is a subtle one, everything is under the surface and then it erupts. The way he moves, the way he sings, it's full of emotion, the people who claim that he can't act must be blind.

Nothing wrong with a man of God to love a woman. It is unscriptural that a man minister of God is forbidden to marry.
myanonymously 2 years ago 7
Well, I guess it depends on which part of the New Testament you're in as to whether or not marriage is a good thing; though it's certainly never forbidden.
Professional clergy isn't addressed at all, scripturally, for the Christian faith--a point which I find very interesting indeed.

It is funny how we come into being, isn't it?
In any case, are women truly powerful or are men simply susceptible to our influence?
TheThreeWeavers 1 year ago
It is strangely appropriate that in these private moments of reflection, his costume isn't one of a priest- I think he's taken off the outer layer?
Here, Frollo the priest is stripped away, revealing the man beneath for us, reflected in the costume change and Lavoie's superb acting and singing.
RangerofAnor 2 years ago 8
I don't want to start a religions discussion, but as a man and a catholic, this song makes me weep not only for Frollos internal drama, which is the greatest antagonistic force in this story, but also for all the great minds that were forced to turn to eclesiatic and dogmatic pursuits instead of the natural sciences and the advancement of the human condition. To me, that was Victor Hugo's greatest criticism of the church and organised religion, and still valid today.

ALDARD16 2 years ago
The one thing I find amusing about Daniel Lavoie is the way he never seems to know what to do with his hands, so they're either resting awkwardly at his sides, fists clenched, or gripping his forearms. It's cute! It kind of adds to the tormented yet awkward character of Frollo.
quicksilvertaint 2 years ago 72
Totally agree :)
evyevy 2 years ago 3
I actually and the weird hands thing is an intended gesture and a very inspired personal addition in expressing his feelings. And that makes him an extraordinary interpreter.
travelling0hawk 2 years ago 11
Daniel is an amazing interpreter, his body language is telling the whole story, he wants her but is fighting against himself and he is going crazy... in fact, at that point he is already mad.
Lilacsinm 2 years ago 10
If you watch videos of Daniel performing with his own songs and in "Le petit prince" you will notice that he has no problem with his hands and his body language is very different from what you see here, his body language as Frollo is part of the character.

Yes, that is correct. He sings 'un verre' which is a worm. I know it sounds a bit odd. ^^
galomina 2 years ago
Actually, the word meaning worm is "ver". "Verre" means "glass". (I'm a native french ^^)
But here, he does mean worm, he talks about the way his love for the gipsy keeps eating him from inside. XD
MissMuffinCookie 2 years ago
Well, the lyrics are very beautiful, but I don't think the subtitles are very faithful: in a passage they say "Then you came like a worm" and that's referred to Esmeralda. Mmh, are we sure that's the right translation? I don't know very well french, but it sounds badly to me.
61MONICA 2 years ago
I don't think this translation is really right. I think their use is to give people who don't understand french an overview of the story and erverything.
There are also english versions of this musical, and there i think its better translated, becaus there it has to fit to the story.
elflein15 2 years ago
61Monica, I see what you are talking about. I know both languages(French and English) I conclude ," The overall translation is far to be professional".This drama and the song are so beautiful to have too many mistakes in the english lyricsm..
