[FROLLO] The world is cruel The world is wicked It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city I am your only friend I who keep you, feed you, teach you, dress you I who look upon you without fear How can I protect you, boy Unless you always stay in here? Away in here
(spoken) Remember what I've taught you, Quasimodo
(sung) You are deformed -
[QUASIMODO] - I am deformed
[FROLLO] And you are ugly -
[QUASIMODO] - And I am ugly
[FROLLO] And these are crimes for which The world shows little pity You do not comprehend
[QUASIMODO] You're my defender -
[FROLLO] Out there, they'll revile you as a monster -
[QUASIMODO] I am a monster-
[FROLLO] -Out there, they will hate and scorn and jeer
[QUASIMODO] Only a monster
[FROLLO] Why invite their curses and their consternation? Stay in here Be faithful to me -
[QUASIMODO] - I'm faithful
[FROLLO] Grateful to me -
[QUASIMODO] - I'm grateful
[FROLLO] Do as I say Obey and stay -
[QUASIMODO] - I'll stay
[BOTH] In here
[FROLLO, spoken] Remember, Quasimodo. This is your sanctuary
[QUASIMODO, spoken] ...My sanctuary...
[QUASIMODO] Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone Gazing at the people down below me All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone Hungry for the histories they show me All my life I memorize their faces Knowing them as they will never know me All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day Not above them, but part of them
And out there, living in the sun Give me one day out there, all I ask is one To hold forever, out there Where they all live unaware What I'd give, what I'd dare Just to live one day out there!
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives Through the roofs and gables I can see them Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives Heedless of the gift it is to be them If I were in their skin, I'd treasure every instant
Out there, strolling by the Seine Taste a morning out there, like ordinary men Who freely walk about there Just one day and then I swear I'll be content With my share Won't resent Won't despair Old and bent I won't care I'll have spent one day out there!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
