0:38 she's like 'boriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiingg' -_- But this song is one of my favorites! I love Daniel, he's french canadian like me and I totally know what he feels when he sings 'moi qui me croyait l'hiver, me voici un arbre vert. moi qui me croyais de fer, contre le feu de la chaire' <3
Frollo's character is portrayed absolutely perfectly. He wants to give in to the lust he feels for this woman, but at the last minute whatever sanity is left in him comes back. Those walls do more than just look cool, they add to the emotion...
While I like Marakulin's portrayal of Frollo, I really love (and prefer) the French version, it is so poetic and beautifully performed...below in the next few comments is my Russian rhyming translation of the lyrics to go with the music:
I have the dvd of notredame de paris in hd and i love that show its the best i ever seen i feel the magic of tu vame detruire(you kill me ) tu me destrozas really magic and belle(beauty)bella i always feel the passion for a woman
No wonder why french or italian are considered to be the languages of lovers. English version sucks, does not carry 1% of the emotion of the french/italian version....
Yes it is amazing to see how different Mateucci and Lavoie act this song (sad but strong, & passionate for Matteucci, sad but desperate & lost for Lavoie), yet both are amazing, because they can bring so much emotion with their voice.
I think its a big world katastrof that justin biber or who else,, has thausands more views,,,I do not have anything contrary ,,but this is just world music and Notre Dame De Paris is immmortal,,,,God bless Richardo Cocciante for this wonderfull music,,,
anche questa versione è molto bella... penso che sia lui che vittorio matteucci siano bravissimi. L'interpretazione del personaggio è diversa perchè è diversa la visione che ha l'attore del personaggio e poi penso che la dialettica italiana si presti di più all'interpretazione...
lo hermoso de esta cancion es que conozco una historia muy similar de la vida real, por eso me parece mas bella aun. es tan especial el amor que puede sentir un sacerdote por una mujer, pero el tener que enterrar ese sentimiento es lo tragicamente bello
not a fan of this song,cause of melody which is somewhat progressive and everything,but,its a little too repetative for my taste.simply doesnt have an effect on me, i dont know :/ although i love the notre dame de paris.i think its a better feeling to sing it than to listen to it, due to technical part of it,and expression needed to roll it out.
I love the moving "Pillars". The walls closing in around him. Slowly going insane. Being suffocated. The minimalistic set is brilliant. It really allows for songs like this to really shine for the music and the actors.
Indeed he desired her for her beauty!!!!Sush desire is rare among people!!!!But you can feel him perfectly!!!!He just didn't find the right way toshow his love to her...Pitty!!! :'(
sincerely the performance of mara corlade a romanian young girl lead me here. you should watch it. Just type" mara corlade liga campionilor 2011" and you'll see what I'm talking about. It made me cry even though I haven't even read the book and I only know a little french. It's incredible we schould all support her hard work by giving her a little more views!
è molto più espressivo vittorio matteucci! lui è bravo ma non ci mette la stessa passione non riesce a far trapelare e trasmettere la disperazione che prova frollo!!
@antouella88 Sono d'accordissimo con te :) Vittorio Matteucci è migliore nell'espressività, nella potenza della voce, nel modo di "sentire" il palcoscenico e la canzone....tuttavia anche questo Frollo è degno di nota :)
He does such a wonderful job of portraying a man who is scared of what he would do if he let his guard down. He almost allows the walls to crush him, but he can't do it. Bravo to Daniel for conveying such a complicated character so well!
Ce que j'aime bien, avec Daniel Lavoie, quand il chante pour Esmeralda, c'est qu'il donne toujours l'impression d'avoir peur... Peur des deux autres dans 'Belle', peur d'attirer les regards ou je ne sais quoi ici, dans 'Etre prêtre et aimer une femme'... Il a toujours peur... J'aime bien ça !
Les gens devraient vraiment arrêter de dire qu'il n'est pas aussi expressif que l'italien Frollo. Il joue un prêtre, il n'est pas censé être trop expressive et flamboyante et la marque d'un bon acteur est la capacité à transmettre des sentiments à travers sa voix et les yeux, sans avoir à gesticuler trop. Je sais que chacun a droit à leur propre opinion, mais ce concours, canadienne-française vs version originale en italien doit s'arrêter.
The link didn't work for me, but I think I know which video you mean. If it's the one I'm thinking of, I love it too. He sings with so much passion it's amazing. Ah, Lavoie. <3
I just discovered this musical and I have to say, it's pretty cool. My favorite parts are the ones that include Frollo, and this song is amazing, as is Daniel Lavoie. I would love to see this live.
Oops sorry small correction: the chorus rhyming translation can be: CHORUS: You will destroy me, You will destroy me, And I will curse you for as long as my life will be You will destroy me, You will destroy me, From the first day and that first night I knew this passion will kill me You will destroy me, You will destroy me, You will destroy me
My sin and my obsession Feel like a dark possession No end to this great torment It haunts me every moment The merchant of illusion, You caused my soul's confusion
I live anticipating Your dancing and your singing
CHORUS
Now I'm not like a winter But like a spring tree, younger A man of steel no longer Can't fight this fire, it's stronger And so these flames consume me Caused by your eyes, oh gypsy, More black than any midnight, More secret than the moonlight
These constant waves of passion Flood my veins like an ocean Within them there's no pity
I sense they will defeat me No one will save me now There's no denying how I'll drown so soon I know With no remorse to show
CHORUS: You will destroy me, You will destroy me, And I will curse you for as long as my life will be You will destroy me, You will destroy me, From the beginning I've foreseen one day this passion will kill me You will destroy me, You will destroy me, You will destroy me
He is a very good singer, but a musical (or opera, as you wish...) needs also actors. For this reason, I think that the best Frollo is Vittorio Matteucci, from italian version. Matteucci show a desperate and anger love, exactly like Claude Frollo in the book of Victor Hugo.
But, I repeat: this interpretation, under singer point of view, remain good.
People should really stop saying he's not as expressive as the italian Frollo. He's playing a priest, he's not supposed to be overly expressive and flamboyant and the mark of a good actor is the ability to transmit feelings through his voice and eyes, without having to gesticulate excessively. I know everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but this competition, french-canadian original vs italian version should stop.
The original is better in so many ways. and I'm italian.
@Hippyrose89 i couldn't agree with you more, i felt that the Italian version of this song was over the top and i felt like he was all over the place, while with this one you could feel his pain and frustration at lusting after Esmeralda and knowing that its a sin to do so. Both are good but i feel this one is the best. On another note, i really felt that the English version was dull and inexpressive, like not even pain just him singing with no emotion.
@alliecat889 thanks for mentioning the expression of pain, frustration and lust, cause youtube comment limit wouldn't let me :p but yes, I study translation and this was the subject for one of my papers. the original is clearly out of the competition cause... well, it's the original. other than that, the best versions are the spanish and the korean one. the italian and especially the english just plain ruin the magic of the lyrics (let alone the meaning itself).
@oOoDesdemonaoOo il commento in francese e' stato fatto una settimana fa', il mio un mese fa'. Il commento in francese e' stato lasciato da TheGhostWarrior69, il mio username e' HippyRose89. domanda a TheGhostWarrior perché ha tradotto il mio commento ;)
@Hippyrose89 visto che sei italiano, te lo dico in italiano/a... sono d'accordo che un buon attore trasmette con lo sguardo al di là dei gesti... ma mi dispiace per te, Matteucci nel suo ruolo è perfetto non esprime solo con la voce ma anche con i gesti, ed è una sincronia perfetta... poi ti assicuro che si avvicina molto di più al personaggio del libbro, che esprime la sua frustrazione sia con le parole che con i gesti! Comunque, si qusta storia de paragoni deve finire se sfocia con cattiveria!
@Hippyrose89 I agree. True, Matteucci is more expressive, but Frollo's a priest in Medieval Paris. Anyone who knows their history would know he's not supposed to be expressive. What I like about Lavoie's performance is how tense his body language becomes when he sees Esmeralda and that's the first time we see him as more human and it frightens him. I like that Matteucci's version has more of a temper and his reaction to Esmeralda is cursing her, but Lavoie's performance just seems more human.
@Hippyrose89 Peut-être que le chanteur Italien a plus d'expressions, certes ! On s'en moque ! Daniel est un grand chanteur et il a eu l'honneur de faire partie de la version française (la 1ère, casting original et mère de toutes les autres)
Rispondi a questo video... Really? Do you really think he's better than Vittorio Matteucci? I think an Italian Febo and the hunchback is better in French. but really, Frollo (the character) is fiery, passionate, tormented and angry ... I also think he is good and external distress .but it lacks the anger of a man who knew he could not fight the passion in spite of religion, and that Matteucci puts us all
@PommeIndigo it's not that bad....some things I think could have been translated better, but overall it's pretty good...it has a good balance of capturing what the French says and flow...you can't really have both, its one or the other...a balance of the two is the best you can get...I'm curious though, with which phrases do you take issue?
Something you want so much that you fight with urself so not to have it, but the feeling of undeniable want is still there...Frollo i feel for ya my man i really do.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't like him. There are not love, hate and desperation on his face, there's not passion in his voice. I prefer Italian version definitely! French language isn't as powerful as Italian and Vittorio Matteucci is the best Frollo ever! I really love him :-)
"I thought it was the Autumn of life, yet here I am green in the Spring again
I thought I was a man of steel, far from the heat of flesh, yet I'm on fire and burning for her eyes...."
these lines alone capture Frollo's character and his struggle. The poor man deserve to be pitied, not hated and this actor does a beautiful job of allowing the viewer to feel for the wretched Count Frollo. I love this play!
Does anyone know if there is someplace where you can buy a dvd of the full musical?? Because I love this performance, and I don't want to have to go through all of the youtube videos and try and watch them in order....
Лавуа лучший Фролло. Ни Маракулин ни кто другой не выглядит так убедительно. Про голос я вообще не говорю. Я очень впечатлен Лавуа, он просто великолепен. Французская версия самая лучшая.
Так уж наверное я не просто так говорю. Смотрел и Маракулина и Итальянскую версию и Испанскую и даже Корейскую. Лавуа выглядит точно так как нужно, да, он никогда не умел держаться на сцене, с детства проблема психологическая, но в роли Фролло это то что нужно, он в смятении, он растерян, он не думал что все так обернется... Плюс французский вариант Tu vas me detruire очень красиво звучит в его исполнении. Это мое личное мнение, вкусы у всех разные.
Ну видите, а мне нравится Лавуа, о чем это говорит? Дискуссия не выйдет, это просто разные вкусы. Возможно спой Маракулин эту песню на французском я бы изменил свое мнение. Согласитесь, что французский интереснее звучит? К слову единственное что из нашей версии сильнее это Belle, где Фролло в исполнении Голубева, но это опять же мое сугубо личное мнение. И еще прошу Вас, послушайте tu vas me detruire в lossless качестве, могу скинуть, здесь звук плохой, может мнение измените.
Посмотреть не получится, потому что это музыка ее надо слушать) У меня есть в отличном качестве, напишите свой майл, скайп или icq, я передам Вам если интересно.
...I know I should be commenting on the sheer genius of this performance, but I'm too amused with the thought of how fun it would be to be one of those people trying to run him over as a wall.
their songs are classic. never get tired of listening. i have been listening their songs since i was high school.

@Hippyrose89 i couldn't agree with you more, i felt that the Italian version of this song was over the top and i felt like he was all over the place, while with this one you could feel his pain and frustration at lusting after Esmeralda and knowing that its a sin to do so. Both are good but i feel this one is the best. On another note, i really felt that the English version was dull and inexpressive, like not even pain just him singing with no emotion.

@alliecat889 thanks for mentioning the expression of pain, frustration and lust, cause youtube comment limit wouldn't let me :p but yes, I study translation and this was the subject for one of my papers. the original is clearly out of the competition cause... well, it's the original. other than that, the best versions are the spanish and the korean one. the italian and especially the english just plain ruin the magic of the lyrics (let alone the meaning itself).

@Hippyrose89 visto che sei italiano, te lo dico in italiano/a... sono d'accordo che un buon attore trasmette con lo sguardo al di là dei gesti... ma mi dispiace per te, Matteucci nel suo ruolo è perfetto non esprime solo con la voce ma anche con i gesti, ed è una sincronia perfetta... poi ti assicuro che si avvicina molto di più al personaggio del libbro, che esprime la sua frustrazione sia con le parole che con i gesti! Comunque, si qusta storia de paragoni deve finire se sfocia con cattiveria!

@Hippyrose89 I agree. True, Matteucci is more expressive, but Frollo's a priest in Medieval Paris. Anyone who knows their history would know he's not supposed to be expressive. What I like about Lavoie's performance is how tense his body language becomes when he sees Esmeralda and that's the first time we see him as more human and it frightens him. I like that Matteucci's version has more of a temper and his reaction to Esmeralda is cursing her, but Lavoie's performance just seems more human.

@Hippyrose89 Peut-être que le chanteur Italien a plus d'expressions, certes ! On s'en moque ! Daniel est un grand chanteur et il a eu l'honneur de faire partie de la version française (la 1ère, casting original et mère de toutes les autres)

Rispondi a questo video... Really? Do you really think he's better than Vittorio Matteucci? I think an Italian Febo and the hunchback is better in French. but really, Frollo (the character) is fiery, passionate, tormented and angry ... I also think he is good and external distress .but it lacks the anger of a man who knew he could not fight the passion in spite of religion, and that Matteucci puts us all
I am Italian of course

@PommeIndigo it's not that bad....some things I think could have been translated better, but overall it's pretty good...it has a good balance of capturing what the French says and flow...you can't really have both, its one or the other...a balance of the two is the best you can get...I'm curious though, with which phrases do you take issue?

I don't like him. There are not love, hate and desperation on his face, there's not passion in his voice. I prefer Italian version definitely! French language isn't as powerful as Italian and Vittorio Matteucci is the best Frollo ever! I really love him :-)

@DianaPhotoArt I disagree with you you obviously don't know anything about french music education :) he is one great french singer

@TinaHenry24 I didn't speak about him like a singer (I can guess he is a good singer), I'm speacking about him in this musical as Frollo.
And I repete, I don't like him as Frollo, or... I really prefer the Italian Frollo!

@Nejidabest no, the right translation is "you will destroy me" =)
sadako07 11 months ago
my French is not good at all, but wouldn't "You will be my Destruction" be a better translation of the title? honestly asking.

"I thought it was the Autumn of life, yet here I am green in the Spring again
I thought I was a man of steel, far from the heat of flesh, yet I'm on fire and burning for her eyes...."
these lines alone capture Frollo's character and his struggle. The poor man deserve to be pitied, not hated and this actor does a beautiful job of allowing the viewer to feel for the wretched Count Frollo. I love this play!

@BruckMahl Je pense que 'You will destroy me' est meilleur parceque c'est une traduction plus proche au français.

Oui. Cette phrase est aussi plus naturelle en anglais. "You are going to destory me," est trop rigide. Normalement, on dit, "You will destroy me." :)

Лавуа лучший Фролло. Ни Маракулин ни кто другой не выглядит так убедительно. Про голос я вообще не говорю. Я очень впечатлен Лавуа, он просто великолепен. Французская версия самая лучшая.

Вы бы посмотрели Маракулина, а потом бы говорили)
Лавуа и в подметки не годится ему. Ни по голосовым качествам, ни по сценическому образу.
PizdezTovarichi 1 year ago
@PizdezTovarichi
Так уж наверное я не просто так говорю. Смотрел и Маракулина и Итальянскую версию и Испанскую и даже Корейскую. Лавуа выглядит точно так как нужно, да, он никогда не умел держаться на сцене, с детства проблема психологическая, но в роли Фролло это то что нужно, он в смятении, он растерян, он не думал что все так обернется... Плюс французский вариант Tu vas me detruire очень красиво звучит в его исполнении. Это мое личное мнение, вкусы у всех разные.
AlanoffSky 1 year ago
@AlanoffSky
Как нужно выглядит как раз Маракулин
Когда я читал Гюго, перед моими глазами вспыхивал образ,
а увидев русскую версию нотр дама нашел его отражение в Маракулине.
Он настолько точно сыграл, я поражен был его талантом
PizdezTovarichi 1 year ago
@PizdezTovarichi
Ну видите, а мне нравится Лавуа, о чем это говорит? Дискуссия не выйдет, это просто разные вкусы. Возможно спой Маракулин эту песню на французском я бы изменил свое мнение. Согласитесь, что французский интереснее звучит? К слову единственное что из нашей версии сильнее это Belle, где Фролло в исполнении Голубева, но это опять же мое сугубо личное мнение. И еще прошу Вас, послушайте tu vas me detruire в lossless качестве, могу скинуть, здесь звук плохой, может мнение измените.

Лавуа посредственен.
Да, поет он хорошо, но он не умеет играть - ни движениями, ни лицом - на последнем вообще застыло выражение, будто его сейчас прорвет поржать.
И раз уж на то пошло, то он больше похож не на священника, а на мокрушника в тюряге.
Все - таки самый лучший Фролло - это Маракулин, что говорить.
Он за 2 минуты умудрился пропитать отчаянием своего героя зрителей, а Оавуа я ни секунды не поверил. Плохо, очень плохо.
