God You Made the World All Wrong – Notre Dame de Paris

Live for the One I Love

Esmeralda

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 of life 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

The Age of The Cathedrals

Gringoire

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 scupture, 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 ths stars are

And live beyond life

Live in glass and live in stone

Stone after stone, day after day

From year to year, men made their 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 ths 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 ths stars are

And live beyond life

Live in glass and live in stone

But it is doom the age of the cathedrals

Barbarians wait

At the gates of Paris fair

Ah 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

Clopin

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-out

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 some way

When we have 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

We are

The strangers here

The refugees

The women

And men

Without a home

We are

The strangers here

The refugees

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

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

Asylum, asylum

The Bohemienne Song

Esmeralda

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 hands

My mother told me tales of Spain

I think that’s where she longed to be

Of mountain bandits she once sang

Andalusia 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 hands

When I was a child in Provence

Barefoot in the hills I dance once

But the gypsy road is long

The road’s so long

Every day 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 day dreams

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 hands

Here’s my fate in the lines of my hands

Belle

Quasimodo

Belle

Is the only word I know that suits her well

When she dances, oh the story 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 this 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

Frollo

Belle

There’s a demon insider her who came from Hell

And he turned my eyes from God, and oh, I fell

He put the heat inside me I’m ashamed to tell

Without my God inside I’m just a burning shell

The sin of Eve she was in her I know so

well

For want of her I know I’d give my soul to sell

Belle

The gypsy girl, is there a soul beneath her skin?

And does she bear that cross of all our human sin?

Oh Notre Dame

Please let me go beyond God’s law

Open the door of love inside

Esmeralda

Phoebus

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-colored dress there burns the well

My promised one, please let me one more

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

Quasimodo, Frollo and Phoebus

She dances naked in my soul and sleep won’t come

And it’s no use to pray this 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

My Heart If You Will Swear

Fleur-de-Lys

You mount your horse so straight and fair

You look like you belong here

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 and so 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 if you dare

Your love is all I want to swear

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

Torn apart

Phoebus

Torn apart

I am a man divided

Torn apart

I want two women’s love

Two women want my love

I don’t know how to cut

My heart in two

Torn apart

I am a man in pieces

Torn apart

I want two women’s love

Two women want my love

I’m just glad

I have love enough for two

One for the day

The other for the night

One just for now

The other all my life

One for always

Until of the end of time

The other will soon find

My love won’t stay

Torn apart

I am a man divided

Torn apart

I want two women’s love

Two women want my love

And they’ll just have to love

The man I am

Torn apart

I am a man in pieces

Torn apart

I want two women’s love

Two women want my love

Is it my fault that I’m

A normal man

One’s honey sweet

The other has a bite

One’s heaven sent

The other rules the night

And to the one

I swear my love is true

And with the other one

I break the rules

Torn apart

I am a man divided

Torn apart

I want two women’s love

Two women want my love

I don’t know how to cut

My heart in two

Torn apart

I am a man in pieces

Torn apart

I want two women’s love

Two women want my love

I’m just glad

I have love enough for two

Torn apart

Torn apart

Torn apart

Torn apart

Torn apart

I am a man divided

Torn apart

I want two women’s love

Two women want my love

I don’t know how to cut

My heart in two

Torn apart

Torn apart

Torn apart

The Bells

Quasimodo

The bells that I make ring

There 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

Bells that ring where we’re born

Bells that ring where we die

Bells that ring every day, every night, every hour

Bells that ring where we pray

Bells that ring where 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 Resurection

For St-Valentine’s day and for when Good Friday comes

Celebration 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

Confirmations 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

And my litlle Mary rings

When children die, she sets them free

And my big Mary rings

When sailors set forth on the sea

But my great Mary sings

When lovers exchange wedding rings

Then something in me always cries

Then something in me always cries

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 wing on the wind

In the midst of the stard up in the vault of the sky

All the bells that I sound

Kyrie Eleison

Hosanna Allelujah Dies Irae, Dies Illa

Bells that mourn with the sad

Bells that laugh with the glad

All these bells that I have never not once rung out for me

The bells that I make ring

They are my loves, such joy they give

I hope that they will sing

If Esmeralda does still live

To tell the world that Quasimodo loves Esmeralda
