Belle [English translation]

Beautiful.

It's a word that we would have invented for her

when she dances and sets her body everyday.

A bird that flaps its wings so as to fly.

Thus, I feel like Hell is opening underneath my feet.

I set my eyes under her gipsy dress.

Praying at Notre-dame, what can it do for me ?

Who

is the one who will throw the first rock at her ?

This reason is not worth being upon ground.

Oh, Lucifer !

Please, just give me one chance

to slide my fingers upon esmeralda's hair.

Beautiful.

Is Devil the one incarnated in her

so as to distract my eyes from the Immortal God ?

[Is Devil] the one who grew up inside me this dark desire

so as to refrain me from watching towards the sky ?

She bears within her the original sin.

Does my desire for her make me a criminal ?

She,

whom we would have to give us joy or nothing,

suddenly seems to bear the cross of the human race.

Oh, Virgin Mary !

Please, just give me one chance

to knock the door at Esmeralda's garden.

Beautiful,

despite her great black eyes that enchant you.

Would the lady be still a maid ?

When her movements make me see bells and whistles

under her rainbow-coloured mini-skirt.

My darling, allow me to be infidel towards you

before I have taken you closer to the edge.

Who

is the man who would refrain himself from looking at her

sorrowed that he might be turned into a statue of salt ?

Oh, lily flower.

I am not an instant man,

I will go to collect the love flower for Esmeralda.

I set my eyes under her gipsy dress.

Praying at Notre-dame, what can it do for me anymore ?

Who

is the one who will throw the first rock at her ?

This reason is not worth being upon ground.

Oh, Lucifer !

Please, just give me one chance

to slide my fingers upon esmeralda's hair.

Esmeralda.
