Cast Away

Clopin & 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

Frollo:

Esmeralda this high court charges you, with having wounded a soldier true.

Esmeralda:

If he is wounded he's living still, oh let me see him one time if the court will.

Frollo:

You have seduced him with foul sorcery, stabbed him to kill him it's plain to see.

Esmeralda:

It wasn't me on my soul I swear.

Frollo:

But you were alone with him in his bed there.

Esmeralda:

There's a priest out of hell, who followed me.

Out of the night he came, can't you see.

Frollo:

This girl has all these wild imaginings.

She always thinks she is seeing crazy things.

Esmeralda:

I think he looks a lot like you sir.

Frollo:

See how the devil looks out of her eyes.

She is a stranger, a sorceress; she is a pig, she is a bohemienne.

Frollo:

Did you commit this crime, and do you now confess.

Esmeralda:

I am the victim here, I can say no more or less.

The Torture

Frollo:

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?

Esmeralda:

I love him I confess.

Frollo:

You will have to die for your sin.

Esmeralda:

Assassins, Assassins!

Frollo:

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

Frollo:

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

Esmeralda:

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

Phoebus:

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

Fleur-de-Lys:

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

Frollo:

I'm your priest and I've come to prepare you to die.

Esmeralda:

I'm cold, I'm weak; can't you let me go? I've done nothing to anyone.

Frollo:

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.

Esmeralda:

Very soon I'll find happiness.

Frollo:

Will you still sing when you're bound, and dance at the hanging ground?

Esmeralda:

What have I done to you that you hate me through and through?

Frollo:

It is not that I hate, it is that I love you. I love!

Esmeralda:

What is it I have done, a gypsy girl alone?

That love for me has come to you the priest of Notre dame.
