Esmeralda

[Official]

By royal edict, warrant of arrest

The gypsy known as Esmeralda

Being under suspicion of sorcery, witchcraft

And the arts of Hell

Anyone found harboring or helping her

Will be charged as well

[Frollo]

Hunt down the gypsy Esmeralda

Don't let her flee

And vanish in the night

These are the flames of Esmeralda

While she is free

Your torches must burn bright

[Soldiers]

Hunt down the gypsy Esmeralda

Don't let her flee

And vanish in the night

These are the flames of Esmeralda

While she is free

Our torches will burn bright

[Frollol]

Have no fear, my boy. We will find her and capture her!

The wicked shall not go unpunished

The heart of the wicked is of little worth

The wicked shall not go unpunished

[Congregant]

All through the city, at more fevered pitch

Than the bells of Notre Dame

[Phoebus, spoken]

Two gold pieces for the one who leads us to Esmeralda

[Congregants]

Frollo's men sought Esmeralda, the witch

With the might of Notre Dame

[Phoebus]

Four gold pieces for the one who leads us to Esmeralda

[Congregation]

Till at last, they were told of a brothel

Where they sometimes hid gypsies from harm

But the madam, that whore

Denied it and swore by the Saints

The Saints of Notre Dame

[Soldier]

We're looking for La Esmeralda

[Madam]

Never heard of her

[Frollo]

If you want your house to remain standing, give us the gypsy girl

[Madam]

I know nothing of gypsy girls

[Frollo]

Very well, we'll set fire to it. Burn it. Did you hear me, Captain?

[Phoebus]

And he held the torch

That crackled like the gypsy's voice

[Frollo]

Are you disobeying a direct order?

[Phoebus]

And he knew this was the moment

He must make a choice

[Frollo, spoken]

I knew it. She's bewitched you, too. You would throw away a promising career? Captain? Carry out the order!

[Congregation]

God help the outcasts

They look to you still

God help the outcasts

Or nobody will

[Phoebus]

God help the outcasts

Or nobody will

[Frollo]

Coward! Traitor! Gypsy's pawn!

You're relieved of your patrol

[Phoebus]

Consider it my highest honor

[Frollo]

Kyrie Eleison

God have mercy on your soul

Arrest Captain Phoebus

[Esmeralda]

No!

[Frollo]

You see?! There she is!

Good people of Paris

I've heard the calling of the Lord

The time has come to take our city back

We'll save our Paris

Expunge this heathen Gypsy Horde

Before we're overrun, we must attack!

[Frollo, Soldiers, Congregation]

Hunt down the gypsy and the soldier

Don't let them flee

And vanish in the night

We'll find the gypsy and the soldier

While they are free

Our torches will burn bright

[Quasimodo]

Fire! Fire! Smoke and flame!

Esmeralda, where are you

In this dark, I call your name

Is that all that I can do

[Phoebus]

What have I done for Esmeralda

Why did I hear her words inside my head

And still I think of Esmeralda

With my career and body left for dead

[Quasimodo]

Out there

Somewhere

She is lost

[Phoebus]

Somewhere

She is lost

Esmeralda!

[All]

Where is the girl

Called Esmeralda

The flames grow tall

And sharp as

Fleurs-de-lis

[Choir]

Misericordia

[All]

All Paris burns for Esmeralda

[Frollo, Phoebus, Quasimodo]

And still it all

Comes down to her and me

[Choir]

Et dona nobis pacem

[Frollo]

The devil dwells in Esmeralda

[Quasimodo]

Oh Esmeralda

[Phoebus]

Oh Esmeralda

[Quasimodo]

Oh Esmeralda

[Frollo]

Resist his charm

[Quasimodo, Congregation]

Wake up the city

And sound the alarm

[Frollo, Soldiers]

Wake up the city

And sound the alarm

[Choir]

Wake up the city

And sound the alarm

[All]

These are the flames of Esmeralda

[Choir]

Dona nobis pacem

[All]

The night is singing

[Choir]

Dona nobis pacem

[All]

Of Esmeralda

[Choir]

Dona nobis pacem

Sing the bells

Sing the bells of

[All]

Even the bells of

Notre Dame!
