[Quasimodo]
So many times out there
I've watched a happy pair
Of lovers walking in the night
They had a kind of glow around them
It almost looked like heaven's light

I knew I'd never know
That warm and loving glow
Though I might wish with all my might
No face as hideous as my face
Was ever meant for heaven's light

But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright

I dare to dream that she
Might evern care for me
And as I ring these bells tonight
My cold dark tower seem so bright
I swear it must be heaven's light

[Priest]
Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God Almighty)
Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To blessed Mary ever Virgin)
Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael)
Sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles, to all the saints)

[Frollo]
Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud

[Priest]
Et tibi Pater (And you know, Father)

[Frollo]
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak licentious crowd

[Priest]
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)

[Frollo]
Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul

[Priest]
Cogitatione (In though)

[Frollo]
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control

[Priest]
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)

[Frollo]
Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin

[Frollo]
It's not my fault

[Priest]
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

[Frollo]
I'm not to blame

[Priest]
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

[Frollo]
It is the gypsy girl
The withc who sent this flame

[Priest]
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most grievous fault)

[Frollo]
It's not my fault

[Priest]
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

[Frollo]
If in God plan

[Priest]
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

[Frollo]
He mad the devil so much
Stronger than a man

[Priest]
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most grievous fault)

[Frollo]
Protect me, Maria
Don't let this siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone

Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or your pyre
Be mine or you will burn

[Priest]
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

[Frollo]
God have mercy on her

[Priest]
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

[Frollo]
God have mercy on me

[Priest]
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

[Frollo]
But she will be mine
Or she will burn
