Belle

Song "Belle" from the musical Notre Dame de Paris with clips from Disney movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Here are the lyrics and translation into English

QUASIMODO

Belle
C'est un mot qu'on dirait inventé pour elle
Quand elle danse et qu'elle met son corps à jour, tel
Un oiseau qui étend ses ailes pour s'envoler
Alors je sens l'enfer s'ouvrir sous mes pieds

J'ai posé mes yeux sous sa robe de gitane
A quoi me sert encore de prier Notre-Dame?
Quel
Est celui qui lui jettera la première pierre?
Celui-là ne mérite pas d'être sur Terre

Ô Lucifer! Oh! laisse-moi rien qu'une fois
Glisser mes doigts dans les cheveux d'Esmeralda

FROLLO

Belle
Est-ce le diable qui s'est incarné en elle
Pour détourner mes yeux du Dieu éternel?
Qui a mis dans mon être ce désir charnel
Pour m'empêcher de regarder vers le Ciel?

Elle porte en elle le péché originel
La désirer fait-il de moi un criminel?
Celle
Qu'on prenait pour une fille de joie, une fille de rien
Semble soudain porter la croix du genre humain

Ô Notre Dame! Oh! laisse-moi rien qu'une fois
Pousser la porte du jardin d'Esmeralda

PHOEBUS

Belle
Malgré ses grands yeux noirs qui vous ensorcellent
La demoiselle serait-elle encore pucelle?
Quand ses mouvements me font voir monts et merveilles
Sous son jupon aux couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel

Ma dulcinée laissez-moi vous être infidèle
Avant de vous avoir menée jusqu'à l'autel
Quel
Est l'homme qui détournerait son regard d'elle
Sous peine d'être changé en statue de sel?

Ô Fleur-de-Lys Je ne suis pas homme de foi
J'irai cueillir la fleur d'amour d'Esmeralda

LES TROIS

J'ai posé mes yeux sous sa robe de gitane
A quoi me sert encore de prier Notre Dame
Quel est celui qui lui jettera la première pierre
Celui-là ne mérite pas d'être sur Terre

Ô Lucifer! Oh! laisse-moi rien qu'une fois
Glisser mes doigts dans les cheveux d'Esmeralda
Esmeralda


English:

QUASIMODO:
Beautiful
It's a word that seems to be invented for her
When she dances, revealing her body
Like a bird spreads its wings to fly away
I feel the hell opening under my feet

My eyes gazed under her gypsy dress
What shall I pray to Notre Dame for?
Who
Will be the one to cast the first stone?
He who does not deserve to live on earth
Oh Lucifer! Oh! Let me just once
Pass my fingers through Esmeralda's hair

FROLLO:
Beautiful
Is it a devil who incarnated in her
To turn my eyes from Eternal God
Who put inside me this carnal desire
To turn my look from heaven?

She carries inside the original sin
Does desire change me to criminal?
She,
Who all thought a whore, a girl of the street
Suddenly seems to carry the cross of all human kind
Oh! Notre Dame! Oh! Let me just once
Pass the gates of Esmeralda's garden

PHOEBUS:
Beautiful
Behind those big black eyes that cast a spell
Could the girl still be a maiden?
When the moves she makes promise me miracles
Under her skirt in colours of the rainbow

My sweetest, please let me once be unfaithful
Before we're joined at the altar
What
Man could turn his eyes from her her
At the risk of changing to statue of salt?
Oh Fleur-De-Lys, I'm not a man to trust
I'll pluck the flower of Esmeralda's love

ALL:
My eyes gazed under her gypsy dress
What shall I pray to Notre Dame for?
Who
Will be the one to cast the first stone?
He who does not deserve to live on earth
Oh Lucifer! Oh! Let me just once
Pass my fingers through Esmeralda's hair

[FenPolzunok]

i have listened the many performances of this song. but were did they sing THIS song? i cannot find this song on youtube ( which must be 100% same with this song)

please try to find this song!!!

sorry for mistakes,english is not native,i'm russian

[Cossynieur]

@FenPolzunok As far as I know it's from the live recording from Palais de Congress, the one available on dvd, you can find it on Queenisgod's channel on YT.

The only part that is not really working is Phoebus' part because the character in the musical (and the book) is very different from the one in the disney movie. In the disney movie phoebus is pictures like a romantic prince whereas in the musical poebus is kind of a jerk who is only sexually interested in Esmeralda .

But Frollo and Quasimodo's parts are amazing.

[Tozi05]

I think Frollo is also character also in the movie. There, he' s mean and cruel, and everything a good disney villain should be, but in the book, he's much more human, and complex. He's a bigoted man yes, but he's mainly afraid of those he persecutes, and ignorant of them and their ways and one shouldn't forget, in middle age and hugo's time, such behaviour was considered normal and healthy. Also, his feelings toward esmeralda are not as hateful at first than the movie makes them out to be.

♥ j'adore!!

[FenPolzunok]

@Cossynieur Thanks!!! it's very good site!!! i converte audio from this video)) thank you)

[FenPolzunok]

I WANT TO FIND THIS PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONG!

[FenPolzunok]

@Cossynieur but if you say about those video,were they play in the musical,you're make a mistake.because it's very different voices: compare: "QUEL" in a phrase ''quel est l'homme qui detournarait son regard d'elle" in this song and in those song! it's very different phrases! and Patrick's voice in this song and in those song isn't same.

[FenPolzunok]

@Cossynieur I can't find it on this channel=(

Super vidéo!! J'aime bien le "malgré ses grands yeux noirs qui vous ensorcèlent" alors que dans le Walt Disney Esmeralda a de superbes yeux...verts!!!
