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 a a psalm
Ans some say the soul of
the city's
The toll of the bells
The bells of Notre Dame
Dark was the night when our
tale was begun
On the docks near Notre Dame
Four frightend gypsies slid
silently under
The docks near Notre Dame
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
The bells of Notre Dame
Chorus:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Clopin:
Jugde Claude Frollo
longed to purge the world
Of vice and sin
Chorus:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Clopin:
And he saw corruption
ev'rywhere except within
Chorus:
Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day)
Solvet saeclum in (Shall consume
favilla the world in ashes)
Teste David cum (As prophesied by
sibylla David and the sibyl)
Quantus tremor (What trembling
est futurus is to be)
Quando Judex (Then the Judge
est venturus is come)
Archdeacon:
See there the innocent blood
you have spilt
On the steps of Notre Dame
Now you would add this child's
blood to your guilt
On the steps of Notre Dame
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
Chorus: (Lord have mercy)
Kyrie Eleison
Clopin:
And for one time in his life
Of power and control
Chorus: (Lord have mercy)
Kyrie Eleison
Clopin:
Frollo felt a twinge of fear
For his immortal soul
Frollo:
Just so he's kept locked away
Where no one else can see
Even this foul creature may
Yet prove one day to be
Of use to me
Clopin:
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
