The Bells Of Notre Dame歌词:
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
Shup it up will you
We'll be spotted
Hush little one
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
The docks near Notre Dame
Four guilders for safe passage into Paris
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
Judge Claude Frollo
The bells of Notre Dame
Jehan Jehan lord have mercy
Judge Claude Frollo longed
To purge the world
Of vice and sin
Jehan Jehan lord have mercy
And he saw corruption
Ev'rywhere
Except within'
Bring these gypsy vermin to the palace of justice
You there what are you hiding
Stolen goods no doubt take them from her
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
Sanctuary please give us sanctuary
A baby a monster
Archdeacon
Stop
Cried the archdeacon
This is an unholy deamon
I'm sending it back to hell where it belongs
See there the innocent blood you have spilt
On the steps of Notre Dame
I am guiltless she ran I pursued
Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
On the steps of Notre Dame
My conscience is clear
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
Jehan Jehan lord have mercy
And for one time in his live
Of power and control
Jehan Jehan lord have mercy
Frollo felt a twinge of fear
For his immortal soul
What must I do
Care for the child and raise it as your own
What I'd be settled with this misshapen
Very well let him live with you in your church
Live here where
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
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
Sing the bells bells bells bells
Bells bells bells bells
Bells of Notre Dame
