Belle Is The Only Word

Quasimodo: Belle, is the only word I know that suits her well. When she dances oh the stories she can tell. A free bird trying out her wings to fly away. And when I see her move I see hell to pay. She dances naked in my soul and sleep won't come. And it's no use to pray these prayers to Notre dame. Tell, who'd be the first to raise his hand and throw a stone. I'd hang him high and laugh to see him die alone. Oh Lucifer please let me go beyond god's law. And run my fingers through her hair, Esmeralda.

Frollo: Belle, there's a demon inside her who came from hell. And he turned my eyes from god and oh, I fell. She put this heat inside me I'm ashamed to tell. Without my god inside I'm just a burning shell. The sin of eve she has in her I know so well. For want of her I know I'd give my soul to sell. Belle, this gypsy girl is there a soul beneath her skin. And does she bear the cross of all our human sin. Oh Notre dame please let me go beyond gods law. Open the door of love inside, Esmeralda.

Phoebus: Belle, Even though her eyes seem to lead us to hell. She may be more pure, more pure than words can tell. But when she dances feelings come no man can quell. Beneath her rainbow coloured dress there burns the well. My promised one, please let me one time be untrue. Before in front of god and man I marry you. Who would be the man who'd turn from her to save his soul. To be with her I'd let the devil take me whole. Oh Fleur-de-lys I am a man who knows no law. I go to open up the rose, Esmeralda

Quasimodo, Frollo & Phoebus: She dances naked in my soul and sleep won't come. And it's no use to pray these prayers to Notre dame. Tell, who'd be the first to raise his hand and throw a stone. I'd hang him high and laugh to see him die alone. Oh Lucifer please let me go beyond god's law. And run my fingers through her hair, Esmeralda. Esmeralda.

Beautiful It's a word that seems to have been invented for her When she dances and brings her body up to date, such A bird stretching its wings to fly away So I feel hell opening up under my feet I put my eyes under her gypsy dress What is the use of praying to Our Lady? What Is the one who will throw the first stone This one doesn't deserve to be on earth O Lucifer! Oh ! Leave me just once Run my fingers through Esmeralda's hair

(Frollo)

Beautiful Is it the devil who incarnated in her To divert my eyes from the Eternal God Who put in my being this carnal desire To keep me from looking up to the sky It carries within it the original sin Does desiring her make me a criminal That That we took for a girl of joy a girl of nothing

Suddenly seems to bear the cross of mankind O Our Lady! Oh ! leave me just once Push the door of Esmeralda's garden

(Phoebus)

Beautiful Despite her big black eyes that bewitch you Would the young lady still be a virgin? When his movements make me see mountains and wonders Under her rainbow colored petticoat My sweetheart let me be unfaithful to you Before leading you down the aisle What Is the man who would look away from her On pain of being changed into a pillar of salt O Fleur-de-Lys, I am not a man of faith I'll pick Esmeralda's flower of love

(Quasimodo, Frollo and Phoebus)

I put my eyes under her gypsy dress What is the use of praying to Our Lady? What Is the one who will throw the first stone This one doesn't deserve to be on earth O Lucifer! Oh ! leave me just once Run my fingers through Esmeralda's hair Esmeralda

This poem/song contains many biblical allusions which help convey certain images and character concepts. This work can be broken down into four parts: Quasimodo's part, Frollo's part, Phoebus' part, and a part with the three of them together. To begin, Quasimodo can interpreted as loving Esmeralda for her pure soul. He describes her as a bird stretching its wings towards the sky, while he can see Hell opening up at his feet. This means she is an angel, something pure, and he is the one at fault for loving her. The more he tries to reach for her, the more he will fall into Hell. He begs Lucifer (one of the many names of Satan) to let him run his fingers through her hair. Frollo can almost be called the opposite of Quasimodo. He blames Esmeralda for making him want her, something which he shouldn't feel because he is a priest. He places himself at the top, nearest heaven and God, with Esmeralda beckoning him to come down to her in Hell. He also compares Esmeralda to Eve by stating that she carries the original sin within her, thus comparing himself to Adam. He then continues by saying that the only way to save himself is to kill her: this good-for-nothing girl suddenly finds herself carrying the cross, like Jesus did before sacrificing himself to save the people. Regardless, Frollo still begs Notre-Dame to let him 'open the gate to Esmeralda's garden', another allusion to her Eve portrayal, as well as meaning that he wants her physically. Phoebus also blames Esmeralda for his love for her. Her subtly calls her a witch who cast a spell on him. He references to the biblical towns of Sodom and Gomorrah. The towns had become perverse and evil, and in his wrath, God decided to destroy both of them to get rid of all the rotten souls that lived in them. A few people were still good however, so angels were sent to rescue the pure people. As a final test of how pure you were, if you were to turn around and look at the towns being destroyed, looking back meaning regret that you had to leave, you would turn into a salt statue. We can tell from this that Phoebus knows that even if he is saved when Esmeralda is destroyed, he will still look back and destroy himself. Then he immediately goes on saying that he is not a believing man, so he tells his fiancée that he will have Esmeralda. In the last part, all three of them wonder who will be the one to throw the first stone at her. This is a reference to how people who did something deemed as bad in front of God were supposed to be punished in the Bible. To accuse someone of a sin is called 'throwing the first stone'. To make the accusation stand, at least three witnesses were needed, which we have. Once the initial accusation was made by all three people, the accused would then be first hit with stones by the witnesses, and the entire community would then finish the punishment. This states that she will die, and the first one to accuse her, or the one who sends her to her death, does not merit to be alive, and he will also perish. Frollo leaves her to her fate, thus throwing the first stone, and he does indeed die in the end, shortly after Esmeralda.

The only one who truly loves Esmeralda is Quasimodo, who cherishes her soul more than her body and blames himself for wanting something pure, while the other two men blame Esmeralda for their lust. Both of them also state that she will die which adds to the last part, where we are also told she will die anyway, and they contemplate about whether or not they will be destroyed as a result of her death. It can be assumed that they know they will all be ruined, as they no longer look to Notre-Dame or Fleur-de-Lys (Phoebus' fiancée), but instead, they all beg to Lucifer to let them run their fingers through her hair.
