Belle [English translation]

Beautiful, is the only word I know that suits her well

When she dances and reveals her body, like

A free bird trying out her wings to fly away

And then I feel hell opening beneath my feet

I gazed beneath her gypsy dress

What’s the use of praying to Notre Dame now?

Tell, who'd be the first to throw a stone

That person does not deserve to live

Oh Satan, let me just once

Run my fingers through the hair of Esmeralda

Beautiful, is there a devil who is incarnated in her?

To turn my eyes from the eternal God

Who has put inside me this carnal desire

To prevent me from turning to heaven

She carries original sin inside her

Does my desire for her make me a criminal?

She, who everyone took for a woman of pleasure, a nobody

Now suddenly seems to bear mankind’s cross

Oh Satan, let me just once

Enter the garden of Esmeralda

Beautiful, despite her large dark eyes that bewitch you

Could the woman still be innocent?

When her movements make me see marvels and wonders

Beneath her rainbow colored skirt

My darling, let me be unfaithful to you

Before leading you to the altar

Who'd be the man who'd turn his gaze from her?

To be with her I'd let be changed into a statue of salt

Oh, Fleur-De-Lys I am not a man of faith

I will pluck the flower of Esmeralda’s love

I gazed beneath her gypsy dress

What’s the use of praying to Notre Dame now?

Tell, who'd be the first to throw a stone

That person does not deserve to live

Oh Satan, let me just once

Run my fingers through the hair of Esmeralda
