The Bells of Notre Dame |
Clopin: |
Morning in Paris, the city awakes |
To the bells of Notre Dame |
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes |
To the bells of Notre Dame |
To the big bells as loud as the thunder |
To the little bells soft as a psalm |
And some say the soul of the city’s |
The toll of the bells |
The bells of Notre Dame |
Listen, they’re beautiful, no? |
So many colors of sound, so many changing moods |
Because you know, they don’t ring all by themselves |
— They don’t? - |
No, silly boy. |
Up there, high, high in the dark bell tower |
lives the mysterious bell ringer. |
Who is this creature |
— Who? - |
What is he? |
— What? - |
How did he come to be there |
— How? - |
Hush, and Clopin will tell you |
It is a tale, a tale of a man and a monster. |
Dark was the night when our tale was begun |
On the docks near Notre Dame |
Man #1: |
Shup it up, will you! |
Man #2: |
We’ll be spotted! |
Gypsy: |
Hush, little one. |
Clopin: |
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under |
The docks near Notre Dame |
Man #3: |
Four guilders for safe passage into Paris |
Clopin: |
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies |
And they gazed up in fear and alarm |
At a figure whose clutches |
Were iron as much as the bells |
Man #4: |
Judge Claude Frollo |
Clopin: |
The bells of Notre Dame |
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) |
Clopin: |
Judge Claude Frollo longed |
To purge the world |
Of vice and sin |
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) |
Clopin: |
And he saw corruption |
Ev’rywhere |
Except within |
Frollo: |
Bring these gypsy vermin to the palace of justice |
Guard: |
You there, what are you hiding? |
Frollo: |
Stolen goods, no doubt. Take them from her |
Clopin: |
She ran |
Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day) |
Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes) |
Teste David cum sibylla (As prophesied by David and the sibyl) |
Quantus tremor est futurus (What trembling is to be) |
Quando Judex est venturus (When the Judge is come) |
Gypsy: |
Sanctuary, please give us sanctuary |
Frollo: |
A baby? A monster! |
Archdeacon: |
Stop! |
Clopin: |
Cried the Archdeacon |
Frollo: |
This is an unholy deamon. |
I’m sending it back to hell, where it belongs. |
Archdeacon: |
See there the innocent blood you have spilt |
On the steps of Notre Dame |
Frollo: |
I am guiltless. She ran, I pursued. |
Archdeacon: |
Now you would add this child’s blood to your guilt |
On the steps of Notre Dame |
Frollo: |
My conscience is clear |
Archdeacon: |
You can lie to yourself and your minions |
You can claim that you haven’t a qualm |
But you never can run from |
Nor hide what you’ve done from the eyes |
The very eyes of Notre Dame |
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) |
Clopin: |
And for one time in his live |
Of power and control |
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) |
Clopin: |
Frollo felt a twinge of fear |
For his immortal soul |
Frollo: |
What must I do? |
Archdeacon: |
Care for the child, and raise it as your own |
Frollo: |
What? I’d be settled with this misshapen .? |
Very well. Let him live with you, in your church. |
Archdeacon: |
Live here? Where? |
Frollo: |
Anywhere |
Just so he’s kept locked away |
Where no one else can see |
The bell tower, perhaps |
And who knows, our Lord works in mysterious ways |
Even this foul creature may |
Yet prove one day to be |
Of use to me |
Clopin: |
And Frollo gave the child a cruel name |
A name that means half-formed, Quasimodo |
Now here is a riddle to guess if you can |
Sing the bells of Notre Dame |
Who is the monster and who is the man? |
Clopin and Chorus: |
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells |
Bells, bells, bells, bells |
Bells of Notre Dame |
