The Age
Of The Cathedrals.
G. This is a tale that takes its place. In
Paris fair, this year of grace. Fourteen hundred eighty two. A
tale of lust and love so true. We are the artists of the time,
we dream in sculpture dream in rhyme. For you we bring our world
alive, so something will survive.
From nowhere came the age
of the cathedrals. The old world began. A new unknown
thousand years. For man just has to climb up where the stars
are. And live beyond life. Live in glass and live in
stone.
Stone after stone, day after day. From year to year
man had his way. Men had built with faith and love. These
cathedrals rose above. We troubadours and poets sing. That love
is all and everything. We promise you, all human kind. Tomorrow
will be fine.
From nowhere came the age of the
cathedrals. The old world began. A new unknown thousand
years. For man just has to climb up where the stars are. And
live beyond life. Live in glass and live in stone.
From
nowhere came the age of the cathedrals. The old world began.
A new unknown thousand years. For man just has to climb up
where the stars are. And live beyond life. Live in glass and
live in stone.
But it is doomed the age of the
cathedrals. Barbarians wait. At the gates of Paris fair. Oh
let them in, these pagans and these vandals. A wise man once
said. In two thousand, this world ends. In two thousand, this
world ends.
The Refugees.
C. and
Refugees. We are the strangers here, the refugees the women and
men. Without a home, Oh Notre dame we come and ask of
you. Asylum. Asylum.
We are the strangers here, the
refugees the women and men. Without a home, Oh Notre dame we come
and ask of you. Asylum. Asylum.
At Paris gates we stand,
ten thousand in our band. And one day soon we'll be, a million in
this land. We wonder what you'll do, the day we ask of you.
Asylum. Asylum.
We are the strangers here, the refugees
the women and men. Without a home, Oh Notre dame we come and ask
of you. Asylum. Asylum.
We are the down-and-outs, here at
the city gates. And all of Paris waits, to see what we're
about. The world will change someday; We'll make it work
someway. The day we come to stay, with you.
We are the
strangers here, the refugees the women and men. Without a
home. We are the strangers here, the refugees the women and
men. Without a home. The refugees. Without a
home.

men. Without a home. We are the strangers here, the

F.
Monsieur Phoebus de Chateaupers, captain of the archers of the
crown. I order you to arrest, these strangers disturbing the
town. Disperse now at any cost this rabble of the lost. Who
come to disturb the peace, All Paris demand they cease.
P. At
your order's monsignor Frollo. In god's name my men will strike a
blow. We'll clear this riff raff from your sight, these beggar
thieves that live by night.
P. Beautiful girl why are
you here, is it from heaven you appear? Paradise must be your
home, you're like no one I've ever
known.
Bohemienne
E. My mother told me tales of Spain,
I think that's where she longed to be. Of mountain bandits she
once sang, Andalusia's memory. There in the mountains she was
free, my mother, father all are gone. And I've made Paris be my
home. I dream of oceans rolling on, they take my heart where I
must come. Andalusia mountain home.
Bohemienne. No one
knows where my story begins. Bohemienne. I was born on a road
that bends. Bohemienne, bohemienne. Come tomorrow, I'll wander
again. Bohemienne, bohemienne. Here's my fate in the lines of
my hand.
When I was a child in Provence, Bare foot in the
hills I danced once. But the gypsy road is so long, the roads so
long. Everyday I see a new chance, maybe some road will lead from
France. I will follow till I come home, Till I come
home.
Andalusia's streams, run through my blood, run through
my daydreams. Andalusia's sky, when it calls me, I feel my heart
fly.
Bohemienne. No one knows where my story
begins. Bohemienne. I was born on a road that
bends. Bohemienne, bohemienne. Come tomorrow I'll wander
again. Bohemienne, bohemienne. Here's my fate in the lines of
my hand. Here's my fate in the lines of my
hands.
Esmeralda You See.
C. Esmerada you see,
you're no longer a child. And this world is so wild, that you
must hear me a little while. You were not yet eight years, your
mother died so young. Still hearing as she died, Andalusia's
song.
E. She left me here with you, and you watched over
me. Did all that you could do, to help me make it
through.
C. Esmeralda you see, some men can hurt you
so.
E. In the streets where I run, out there anything
goes.
C. Do you understand me, and the things I speak
of? You are a child no more. You've reached the age of
love!
E. I've reached the age of love.
So Look No
More For Love.
Fl. My tender years I bring here to you, like
diamonds on a string all for you. Just promise anything, anything
I'll believe it's true
P. Your heart say's it is time for us
two, your eyes look into mine and I'm through. Not all the stars
that shine will outdo, the diamonds they're in you.
Fl. The
man I've come to love, this handsome cavalier. Won't know how I
can love, until I hold him near.
P. You say that I don't
know, but when you look at me. Your eyes have such a glow; I know
how it will be.
Fl. So look no more for love. P. Love is
you. Fl. Love's all I am made of. P. Oh so true. Fl. The
sun will shine above on our love the day I marry you.
P. I'll
find you in the night, when all the moonlight streams. Will cover
you in light, and I will touch my dreams.
Fl. And all the
words you'll say, will fill my heart with fire. As night turns
into day, I'll do all you desire.
P & FL. So look no more
for love, love is you. Loves all I am made of, Oh so true. The
sun will shine above on our love the day I marry you. The sun
will shine above on our love the day I marry you. The day I marry
you.
The Feast Of Fools.
G. and Ensemble. The
feast of fools, the feast of fools. The feast of fools, the feast
of fools.
I'll show you how to run, this noble feast of
fool. I know we'll have some fun, I'll show you all the
rules.
The feast of fools, the feast of fools.
Pick
out the ugliest, amongst the faces here. The worst face is the
best, the face that children fear. Of all the ones who try, the
one who make us sick. From lips to nose to eye that's who we'll
have to pick.
The king of fools, the king of fools. That's
who we'll have to pick, that's who we'll have to pick The king 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.
Those eyes
that nose so thick, that tongue that hangs and licks. The face
that makes us sick, that's who we'll have to pick. The king of
fools, the king of fools. That's who we'll have to pick, that's
who we'll have to pick. The king of fools.
The ringer of
the bells, that hump upon his back. That face right out of hell,
Quasimodo we like. It's Esmeralda's name that makes his poor
heart tick. He's twisted deaf and lame that's who we'll have to
pick
The king of fools, the king of fools. That's who
we'll have to pick, that's who we'll have to
pick. Quasimodo!
That's who we'll have to pick, that's who
we'll have to pick. The king of fools
That's who we'll
have to pick, that's who we'll have to pick. Quasimodo! The king
of fools!
The King Of Fools
Q. Little girls, don't
come laughing in my tracks. On this day you can't attack,
Quasimodo the hunchback. The people choose, the king of
fools. We celebrate today, the festival of kings. And for
today they say I can have anything. Will you love me,
Esmeralda? Will you love me? But I won't do, Esmeralda. I'm
not for you, you look right through. The king of fools. The
king of fools. The king of fools.
The
Sorceress.
F. Be aware she is not one of us. She's a
bohemienne and sorceress. She's unclean she's a creature of lust.
And she wanders obscene with a dark hair like fur. It is a
mortal sin if you watch her. That's why we must cage her
up. Where her evil won't disrupt. All the pure souls that come
here to worship at Notre dame.
Tonight, we'll wait for her as
she goes by, and we'll take her away. We will lock her up in a
tower high, and we'll teach her to pray. Our Jesus Christ will
lead her on, and mother mary holy one.
Q. You know, anything
you will ask I'll do, I'll do it all for you. What do you want me
to do, Don't you know what you want me to do. I'll do it all for
you, I'll do it all for you!
The
Foundling.
Q. You who gathered me in, kept me close as your
kin. You who heard me cry, abandoned to die. By those who will
not stay, having brought today; A monster. You who watched while
I grew, my suffering you knew. You who always stood guard, when
the world was so hard. And the greatest of things, you let me be
him who rings; The bells. But you who taught me so much, to speak
and read and write. I never can catch sight, of your thoughts in
the light. A dog obeys his master's call, whatever you say I will
do it all. A dog obeys his master's call, whatever you say, I
will do it all.
The Doors Of Paris.
G. The doors
of Paris close, and in the streets the darkness grows. The night
takes of her clothes, and laughs and cries and wakes all our
desires. At night, the dark dreams ride on Paris heights, till
dreams are satisfied. Till we have found all we require. On
the bridge of dreams, A girl I saw, an angel seemed. The angel
smiled, and then she disappeared, as I grew near. Through Paris
streets I ran, the angel flew right through my hands. I thought
of Paris night, I laughed and cried 'night, opened up my
eyes'.
Kidnap Attempt.
P. Arrest that man, it's
the hunchback of Notre dame. Hold onto him, show that monster his
time has come. I am the captain here; I must keep all the streets
secure. For all the citizens, and for the pretty girls like
you.
Please allow me to take you home, outside the city
gates. The hour is getting late, for a gypsy girl to
wait.
E. Please understand, before you take me by the
hand. Esmeralda, does not go with just any man.
P. Let me
call on you, tomorrow when nights at the door. We'll make a
rendezvous, at the cabaret Val d'amour.
E. At the cabaret Val
d'amour. G. At the cabaret Val d'amour. F. At the cabaret Val
d'amour

Anarchy.
F. Who is that girl who dares to
dance her evil dance before Notre dame? G. That girl is my wife;
she was given to me by the king of a tribe. F. Did you touch the
girl, you creature of sin? G. She never let me near. F. Don't
touch her you hear. G. Father do you recall, this word carved on
the wall. G. Do you know what this word means, this word
anarchy? F. Why do you bother me, the Greek anarchy means
destiny. G. Is that Quasimodo, those men have led away? F. My
poor hunchback has fallen low, lets hear what these men
say.
Water Please.
F. Hunchback cripple, you are
to blame. Ringer of bells you bear the shame. Pray for his
soul this child of sin. God in your mercy, take him in.
Q.
Someone take pity on Quasimodo, the weight of the world brings him
low. Does no one listen there, is there any water here, oh I need
it so I pray you, I pray. Water please I pray.
Q.
Belle, belle.
Belle Is The Only Word.
Q. Belle, is the
only word I know that suits her well. When she dances oh the
stories she can tell. A free bird trying out her wings to fly
away. And when I see her move I see hell to pay. She dances
naked in my soul and sleep won't come. And it's no use to pray
these prayers to Notre dame. Tell, who'd be the first to raise
his hand and throw a stone. I'd hang him high and laugh to see
him die alone. Oh Lucifer please let me go beyond god's
law. And run my fingers through her hair, Esmeralda.
F.
Belle, there's a demon inside her who came from hell. And he
turned my eyes from god and oh, I fell. She put this heat inside
me I'm ashamed to tell. Without my god inside I'm just a burning
shell. The sin of eve she has in her I know so well. For want
of her I know I'd give my soul to sell. Belle, this gypsy girl is
there a soul beneath her skin. And does she bear the cross of all
our human sin. Oh Notre dame please let me go beyond gods
law. Open the door of love inside, Esmeralda.
P. Belle,
Even though her eyes seem to lead us to hell. She may be more
pure, more pure than words can tell. But when she dances feelings
come no man can quell. Beneath her rainbow coloured dress there
burns the well. My promised one, please let me one time be
untrue. Before in front of god and man I marry you. Who would
be the man who'd turn from her to save his soul. To be with her
I'd let the devil take me whole. Oh Fleur-de-lys I am a man who
knows no law. I go to open up the rose, Esmeralda
Q, G,
&P. She dances naked in my soul and sleep won't come. And
it's no use to pray these prayers to Notre dame. Tell, who'd be
the first to raise his hand and throw a stone. I'd hang him high
and laugh to see him die alone. Oh Lucifer please let me go
beyond god's law. And run my fingers through her hair,
Esmeralda. Esmeralda.

in the sky. Where I think about why, we must live and must
die.
E. These gargoyles your friends, now they are my friends
too. It's they who make me laugh, the days I can't get
through. Sometimes they make me happy, they look just like
you. Though your face frightens me no matter what I do.
Q.
Notre dame de Paris, it is all part of me. It's my world where
I'm free, where I'm happy to be. When you need a place you can
come to. Ask asylum of us, we'll take care of you.
Q &
E. Here in my home so high, the weather's always nice. Where
summers pass us by, we're safe from winter's ice. If you're
wondering still, summer winter you'll come. (E. I'll come) And my
home if you will. (E. And your home if I will). You can call it
your home. E. I can call it my home.
Ave Maria. Ave
maria, please pardon me. If in your house I come stealing. Ave
maria, no one ever taught me about kneeling. Ave maria, please
will you keep me. From this misery madness and fools. Who rule
this evil world.
Ave maria, I'm a stranger and you're my last
recourse. Ave maria, please can't you hear me. Please take
down all these walls between us. We all should be as
one.
Ave maria, please watch over my life night and
day. Ave maria, Oh please protect me. Please guard me and my
love now I pray. Ave maria.
Q. If you can see inside of
me, as I can see inside them. You will know of all these men,
which of them really loves you. Esmeralda you'll see, that only
my love is true.
Your Love Will Kill me.
F. I feel
a wave of passion, move through my heart with such pain. I have
no time for reason, so I just let passion reign. I let go so
easily, on a night as warm as sin. Midnight swimmer, midnight sea
I will not come back again.
Your love will kill me; your love
will kill me. And you will bear my curse as long as my life will
be
Your love will kill me. Your love will kill me. Your
love will kill me.
My sin and my obsession, crazy desire you
bring. I know there's no salvation, I see our bodies
burning. Your gypsy dreams all haunt me, I live to see your
dances. Please raise your eyes and want me, please give me all
the chances.
Your love will kill me; your love will kill
me. And I saw it would be when I looked at you when you looked at
me.
Your love will kill me. Your love will kill
me. Your love will kill me.
You brought the springtime to
fill, my heart in it's winter chill. I lost my strength and my
will, and now my tears start to spill. I never knew such desire,
just looking into your eyes. And now the soul in me cries, and
now the night is on fire.
Your love will kill me; your love
will kill me. And you will bear my curse as long as my life will
be
Your love will kill me; your love will kill me. And I
saw it would be when I looked at you when you looked at
me.
Your love will kill me. Your love will kill
me. Your love will kill me.
Your love will kill
me. Your love will kill me.
The Shadow.
P. Who
follows me? Is it my shadow drained of light is it a phantom of
the night. My shadow grows. His druid's hat obscures his face,
a long black cape around him falls. Say who you are, show who you
are. Come here to me, so I can see!
F. Your conscience
follows you, listen to me. For else I will see you hanged before
you're through. Soldier come near! Just go from here there's
more to fear than to your eyes it may appear.
P. I am a
soldier sir, I serve the king. But here that does not mean,
anything. And are you not a man of god? By god!
At
Val D'amour.
G. Upon the streets of St Denis. There is a
place for you and me. And when it gets to dark to see, look for
the lights, knock on the door. If you have loving on your
mind. This is the place you have to find. You will be back
time after time, back to the house called Val d'amour.
At Val
d'amour they close the door, they give you what you're looking
for. No pretty words no diamond rings, but you can buy most
anything. Just pay the price and love is yours, behind the doors
of Val d'amour. From every corner of the world, they come to take
their choice of girls. The captain's and the sailor boys, they
come to find their little joys. No matter what the tongue they
speak, their money talks week after week.
Ladies of love my
heart is sore, I am Gringoire the troubadour. I'm sick with love
you have the cure behind the doors at Val d'amour. Guitars
implore come one come all, come take your tour of Val d'amour. At
Val d'amour they play a part, give them your money not your
heart. Beneath the sheets your love will flower, it'll last the
night or last an hour.
P. When sick with love I know the
cure; I take a trip to Val d'amour. It takes all night, but be
assured they get it right at Val d'amour. Mesdemoiselles
excusez-moi, I'll wait for my Esmeralda. She read her fate here
in my hand; tonight she'll make me understand.
G. Just north
of Paris on the square, off Popincourt you'll find us there. The
lowlifes come from everywhere, Oh nothings pure at Val
d'amour. And gentlemen in courtly dress, they fall in drunk and
make a mess. At Val d'amour we close the door, and give you what
you're looking for. No pretty words no diamond rings, but you can
buy most anything. Just pay the price and love is yours, behind
the doors of Val d'amour. Behind the doors of Val d'amour.
Behind the doors of Val d'amour.
The
Voluptuary.
P. Light of delight, when everything's
alright. The first man to hold you tight, and show love in all
its might. May no hands other than mine, ever touch your love so
fine. Dark angel of the street, hold on to me I'll show you night
is sweet. Hold on to me; let me feel how your wild wings
beat.
E. We, though we're not the same, burn in a single
flame. I want your love; I will risk all my life for you. Take
me; take me if it is my destiny.
P. Come see, come see if
it's your destiny.
E. Phoebus. P. Esmeralda!
G. Oh
destiny, you are the master of man. Oh destiny, you write our
lives in the sand. Oh destiny, though we do all that we
can. Oh destiny, you say if we fall or stand. Oh destiny, you
hold our lives in your hand.
Fl, F, Q, & C: Oh
destiny. Oh destiny. Oh destiny.
Talk To Me Of
Florence.
F. Talk to me of Florence, and of the
renaissance. And of Bramante tell and of great Dante's
hell. G. In Florence they have found, that the world is really
round. And there's a new unknown, continent to be found
G.
They tell me ships have sailed, upon the open sea. For new ways
to the East, where ever they may be.
F. Luther will give the
world, the true New Testament. The old world falls apart, mankind
learns discontent.
G. And Gutenberg with his books will
change the world again. F. In Nuremberg on his press, books pour
forth, day out day in. G. Novels poems and songs, men can read of
right and wrong. F&G. New ideas come along, who knows where
we belong.
G. The little things all come, with great things
to descend. The little words are strong, they bring down
monuments.
F. The books they read in school, will kill
cathedrals all. The bible kills the church, and man will make god
fall. The new will kill the old.
F&G. They tell me
ships have sailed, upon the ocean sea. For new ways to the east,
wherever they may be. Luther will give the world, the true New
Testament. The old world falls apart, mankind learns
discontent. The new will kill the old. The new will kill the
old.
G. The bells do not play, in Notre dame
today. Quasimodo hides up above, Quasimodo is sick with
love. F. The bells have lost their voice, for three days by his
choice. Quasimodo is sad, Quasimodo is going mad. F&G.
Quasimodo dies for love.
The Bells.
Q. The
bells that I make ring; they are my loves, they love me well. I
want to hear them sing, loud as they swing; my pretty bells. In
thunder or hail, or in wind or in rain. Their song will never
fail, singing through joy, singing through pain. Bells that ring
when we're born, Bells that ring when we die. Bells that ring
every day, every night, every hour. Bells that ring when we pray,
Bells that ring when we cry. Bells that ring to wake us up when
the sun lights the sky.
For the feast of Rameaux, for the
Quasimodo. For a bright Christmas day and for the day of all
saints. For annunciation, for the resurrection. For St
valentine day and for when Good Friday comes.
Celebrations
they sing, all processions they ring. The most beautiful day it
is the feast of our lord. Days of years, days of kings. Easter
day my bells ring. And on Pentecost day they sing with bright
tongues of flame.
Confirmation they sing, and communions they
ring. Bells that toll for our death; Dies Irae, dies illa. For
ascension they sing, for assumption they ring. Bells that bring
us hosanna and sing hallelujah.
The bells I hold most dear,
of the beauties I have here. They are my Mary's three, all best
friends to me. When my little Mary rings, when children die she
sets them free. And my big Mary rings, when sailors set forth on
the sea. But when my great Mary sings, when lovers exchange
wedding rings. Then something in me always cries; then something
in me always dies.
To see their happiness, to see their
tenderness. When a woman will not give me a single caress. My
bells marry and blend, and take wings on the wind. In the midst
of the stars up in the vaults of the sky.
All these bells
that I sound, Kyrie Elieson. Hosanna Allelujah Dies irae dies
illa. Bells that mourn with the sad, bells that laugh with the
glad. All these bells that have never not once rung out for
me.
The bells that I make ring; they are my loves, such joy
they bring. I want to hear them sing, if Esmeralda does still
live. To tell the world, that Quasimodo loves
Esmeralda.
Where Is She.
F. Gringoire where has
your lady gone? I never see her dance at Notre dame. G. I don't
really know where she has gone, priests and poets are not one. In
women I see love; the church puts them below and my poems
above. F. Where is she, your Esmeralda? The small Paris streets
can't sing without her song. G. She's alone in a tower of stone,
far from those who fear all her powers unknown. F. Poet what do
you say, is it this or that way? Do not use your words to play,
have you seen her today? C. Where is she my Esmeralda? The
kingdom I rule has lost all its splendour. G. She is like a
swallow of spring, that someone has caught and tied down the
wings. G. She is there in the prison called la-Sonte. If she
can't get away that is where she will stay, until she is hung. C.
You need tell me no more.
F,C&G. Where is she your
Esmeralda? The small Paris streets can't sing without her
song. She is like a swallow of spring, that someone has caught
and tied down the wings.
The Birds They Put In
Cages.
E. Will the birds they put in cages, ever ride upon
the wind? Will the children life outrages, ever learn to love
again? I lived my life like a swallow; I arrived here in the
springtime. All the little streets I'd follow, all the gypsy
songs were mine. Where's my friend who rings the church
bells? Where are you my Quasimodo? They will hang me as the
light swells, you can break these bars I know.
Q. Esmeralda
have you left me? Do you hide yourself away? I have counted every
hour; I have missed you every day. Have you left upon a journey,
with your handsome shining soldier? With no marriage taking love
free, like the gypsy girl you are. Have you died out in the small
streets, with no prayer to get to heaven? There's a priest who
counts your heartbeat, if he comes near you must run.
E. You
remember at the street fair. Q. When they hurt me on the great
wheel. E. When you begged I gave you water. Q. At your feet I
had to kneel. Q&E. On that day our friendship started, it
will last as long as we live. Once together never parted, all
we'll have to give we'll give.
Will the birds they put in
cages, ever ride upon the wind. Will the children life outrages,
ever learn to love again?
Cast Away.
C &
Refugees. Cast away, souls at bay. It's our dreams, they
betray. Now they say we can't stay. Prayers we pray lost
today. Put the shade of your skin. With the shade of my
skin. Put the song that you sing. With the dance that I
bring. Refugees, downward bound. Fill the streets of your
town.
Can't we make a world, to which everyone
belongs? Can't we make a world, without fears without
frontiers?
We're called names we are blamed. We're kept
down we are shamed. In the night torture comes. Try to speak
without tongues. My homeland I hold here In my heart ever
near. In your land I find tears. Words that hurt things to
fear. In my heart summer dies. From your grey winter
skies.
Can't we make a world, to which everyone
belongs? Can't we make a world, without fears without
frontiers?
Cast away, souls at bay. It's our dreams,
they betray. Now they say we can't stay. Prayers we pray lost
today. Cast away. Cast away.
The Trial.
F.
Esmeralda this high court charges you, with having wounded a soldier
true. E. If he is wounded he's living still, oh let me see him
one time if the court will. F. You have seduced him with foul
sorcery, stabbed him to kill him it's plain to see. E. It wasn't
me on my soul I swear. F. But you were alone with him in his bed
there. E. There's a priest out of hell, who followed me. Out
of the night he came, can't you see. F. This girl has all these
wild imaginings. She always thinks she is seeing crazy
things. E. I think he looks a lot like you sir. F. See how the
devil looks out of her eyes. She is a stranger, a sorceress; she
is a pig, she is a bohemienne.
F. Did you commit this crime,
and do you now confess. E. I am the victim here, I can say no
more or less. F. Torturer come, I'll ask her the question
again. She's only strong because there's a devil within. Make
her body feel the pain; only pain will bring the truth. Do you
confess? E. I love him I confess. F. You will have to die for
your sin. E. Assassins, Assassins! F. Bohemienne, you have
confessed to using magic. To prostitution, and to attacking
Phoebus de Chateaupers. On the day appointed you will be led from
your cell to the Place de Greve Where you will be hanged by the
neck until dead. May god have mercy on your soul.
I Am
A Priest.
F. I was a happy man, until I saw her
face. I hid my need away in some dark secret place. All that
power of sex, I kept down and I never let go. I had only one
design the truth of god and man to know.
Oh, I'm a priest and
I love this girl. I love with a love that destroys my
world.
Against the wind and the tide I could stand any
shock. Straight and proud like Notre dame upon her rock. I let
no woman near I suffered for gods care. In the heart of the night
I saw the lightning flare.
Oh, I'm a priest and I love this
girl. I love, yes I love; with a love that destroys my
world. Oh I'm a priest and I love this girl.
Heal me with
your touch or hurt me once again. Make me suffer for my
sin. Just lead me onto hell and I'll deny my Christ. For hell
with you is paradise.
Oh, I'm a priest and I love this
girl. I love, yes I love; with a love that destroys my
world. Oh I'm a priest and I love this girl. This
girl.
Phoebus If You Can Hear.
E. Phoebus, if he's
alive then it's gods will. Please tell him that I love him
still. Phoebus, if you can hear please come to me. Tell them
the truth and set me free. Phoebus tell them so they will let me
be. Phoebus, when we went in and closed the door. I laid my
knife upon the floor. Phoebus, the man in black I saw him
there. He came behind you from somewhere. Phoebus, I saw my
knife move through the air. Phoebus, I hope by everything
above. Esmeralda does still have your love. Phoebus, the girl
who danced once on the square. Who gave her life to you out
there. Phoebus, each night in my dreams you appear. Please
come and take me far from here. Phoebus.
To Get Back To
You.
P. My heart was led away I knew no right from
wrong. The gypsy girl had made her magic strong. I knew no
night or day I lost my way back home. I would have died if I'd
stayed too long. I, who hurt your heart I am not the same. I'm
down on my knees I accept the blame. I've had time to heal my
body and soul. Tell me what to do to get back to you. My heart
was led away I knew no right from wrong. The gypsy girl wanted
gold for her song. I knew no night or day I lost my way back
home. But here with you I am where I belong. My heart was led
away I knew no right from wrong. The gypsy girl for her sins will
be hung. I've changed the night to day, I've found my way back
home. Deep in my heart I've loved you all along. Please tell
me what to do, to get back to you.
My Heart If You Will
Swear.
Fl. You ride so high and straight and fair. You
look like you belong there. So strong and right and four
square. No other man can compare Or maybe you don't really
care. Just look for pleasure out there. And always get your
share. Is there a heart in you somewhere?
My heart is pure
my heart is rare. If you are hurt I'll be there. We'll start
again from nowhere. You'll have my heart if you will
swear. You'll have my heart if you will swear. That you will
hang Esmeralda. I'm not a little girl now. I'll show you that
I know how. I'll show you how I can be. You think that I am so
pure. I tell you don't be so sure. I can be wild and
free.
Your words of love are hard to bear. Your promises
are thin air. My heart is hard and I don't care. I'll leave
you hanging out there. Unloose my belt let down my hair. Come
take me if you still dare. Your love is all I want to
wear. You'll have my heart if you will swear. You'll have my
heart if you will swear. That you will hang
Esmeralda.
You'll have my heart if you will swear. You'll
have my heart if you will swear. That you will hang
Esmeralda. That you will hang the Zingara.
Frollo's
Visit To Esmeralda.
F. I'm your priest and I've come to
prepare you to die. E. I'm cold, I'm weak; can't you let me go?
I've done nothing to anyone. F. The clock is striking five; it
means that dawn will come soon. Very soon they'll unlock that
door, very soon you will be no more. E. Very soon I'll find
happiness. F. Will you still sing when you're bound, and dance at
the hanging ground? E. What have I done to you that you hate me
through and through? F. It is not that I hate, it is that I love
you. I love! E. What is it I have done, a gypsy girl
alone? That love for me has come to you the priest of Notre
dame.
One Bright Morning You Danced.
F. One bright
morning you danced on the square in the sun. I watched you, so
entranced, my whole world came undone. Now my heart ever still
rules my mind and my will. All my empty life unfilled, and now
since that day. Mirrors show no sign of my face, but Satan in my
place. Of me, there is no trace.
E. Oh my love he will
come, light my days like the sun. He will come take me home; my
dark days will be done. Come to close evil man, you will die by
these hands. No one can hate like I can, you will die where you
stand. Go to hell, that's what I demand. F. Give me one hour
with you; I'll be yours to command. You must choose don't you
see, before day dawns above. Choose the gallows or me; choose
your death or my love. Choose the grave or my bed. F&E. To
be living or dead. F. If you nod yes with your head, your bonds
will be shed. I'll release you, and let you go. To the ones
you love so, to the devils you know. E. Just go away, from here
just go.

Moon.
G.
Moon, you who shine your light. Bright on the Paris
night. See, how a man suffers all for love. Clear, solitary
star. So far, when the day returns. Please hear. Up there
so high the cry of the world. Please hear the cry, of a man in
pain. For whom all those million stars. Don't shine like those
shining eyes. He loves with a mortal love. Moon
Moon,
please don't disappear. Before you have time to hear. Just
hear. How cries the heart of the human beast. Please hear the
cry, Quasimodo cries. He cries for his heart is full. His
voice over mountains flies. So high, that I know it flies to
you.
Moon. See, how this man aspires. To join, his poor
voice with angels.
Moon, you who shine your light. For,
poets as they write. See, how a man suffers all. For
love. For love.
This Small Whistle I Leave
You.
Q. You're as still afraid of me as I can see. E. No I
hope you are my friend until the end. Q. This small whistle I'll
leave so you can call on me. E. Day's I'll hide from the light,
but will you let me walk around at night? Q. On the roof of my
Notre dame for you the stars will come. You have nothing to fear;
you know I'll be near. E. If you see my Phoebus out there, will
you let him know I'm here? Q. Esmeralda when sleep has come , do
you still see your shining sun?
God You Made The World
All Wrong.
Q. God you made the world all wrong, I'm so ugly;
he's so fine. I would love her my life long, but she never would
be mine. Now he owns her heart and soul, without giving her a
thing. And she thinks he'll make her whole, with the love she
thinks he'll bring. She will lie down at his touch, and believe
his lies with pride. It's his face she loves so much, she can't
see what's deep inside.
God you made the world all wrong,
he's so rich; and I'm so poor. He will make her life a song; he
will give her nothing more. God you made the world all wrong, let
her have her shining knight. Beauty to the rich belongs, not to
us outside the light. I am just an ugly stain that the world just
wants to hide. God you gave me so much pain, were you ever on my
side?
God you made the world all wrong, I have nothing; he
has all. But I'll tell her all along he won't be there is she
falls. He was born to silk and lace, to make love and to make
war. I was born without a face; God, what did you make me
for? Tell me what side god is on, those whose silver buys the
host? Or those who pray to god alone, day and night, this Holy
Ghost. Can this Jesus we adore save his blessing only
for. Those three kings of gold and myrrh, and leave the shepherds
at the door?
God you made the world so wrong, I'm so ugly;
he's so fine. I will love her my life long. But she never will
be mine.
Live For The One I Love.
E. A million
stars light, this beautiful night. This is not a night to die,
let me sing and dance. Beneath the sky. I have such love to
give, to give. I want a chance to live.
Live for the one I
love. Love, as no one has loved. Give, asking nothing in
return. Free, free to find my way. Free to have my
say. Free to see the day. Be, like I used to be. Like a
wild bird free. With all the love in me.
Live for the one
I love. Love, as no one has loved. Give, asking nothing in
return.
Though this world tears us apart. We're still
together in my heart. I want the world to hear my cry. And
even if I have to die. Love will not die. Love will change the
world.
Live for the one I love. Love, as no one has
loved. Give, asking nothing in return.
I'll love, until
love wears me away. I'll die, and I know my love will
stay. And I know my love will stay.

Deportez. Exilez. Cast away. Deportez. Exilez.
Cast away. (Deportez. Exilez. Cast

(My Master My Saviour.)
Q. Frollo,
my master my saviour, my priest of Jesus here. Q. You have a
heart that cares. F. A heart. Q. A heart that love can
heal. F. A heart that tears can chill. Q. A heart that still
can feel F. A heart that had to kill.
F. Look over there!
Your sweet Esmeralda! Do you recall Quasimodo, when she was
dancing there down on the square? I sent her to the scaffold,
don't you see? For she would not give her love to me. Q. You
have done this, you! F. On a cross like our Jesus she'll
die! Q. Nooo! F. Look over there, the hangman awaits. For
the gypsies cry. Your Esmeralda, its her that will hang. When
the sun starts to rise! Ha ha ha ha! Q. Frollo!
Q.
Give her to me. Hand her to me. Leave her alone. She is my
own. My Esmeralda. Don't go away. Please won't you
stay?
Dance My Esmeralda.
Q. When the years have
all come and gone. They'll find beneath the ground. Our two
bodies joined as one. Showing how we were bound. How much
Quasimodo once loved. Esmeralda the gypsy girl. How he was
marked by god above. Just to help him to bear his cross. Just
to help him to bear his cross. Eat my body and drink my
blood. Vultures of Montfaucon. So that death more than this
life could. Join our two names as one. Let my poor soul just
fly away. From the miseries of this earth. Let my love find
the light of day. In the light of the universe. In the light
of the universe.
Dance my Esmeralda, sing my
Esmeralda. Dance just one more time for me. You know I'll die
for love of you. Dance my Esmeralda, sing my Esmeralda. Please
let my poor soul fly free. It is not death to die for
you.
Dance my Esmeralda, sing my Esmeralda. Please come
sleep here in my arms. You know I'd die for love of you. Dance
my Esmeralda, sing my Esmeralda. Beyond, and beyond beyond. It
is not death to die for you.
Dance my Esmeralda, sing my
Esmeralda. Please let my poor soul fly free. It is not death
to die for you.
