Beautiful, it's a word you'd think was invented for her
_____
When she dances and shows off her body
_____
Like a bird spreading its wings to fly away
_____
Then I feel hell open under my feet
_____
I set my eyes beneath her gypsy dress
_____
What's the point of praying to Notre-Dame anymore
_____
Who'll be the one to throw the first stone at her
_____
He doesn't deserve to be on earth
_____
Oh, Lucifer, oh, let me just once
_____
Slide my fingers through Esmeralda's hair
_____
Beautiful, is it the devil who's incarnated in her
_____
To turn my eyes from the eternal God
_____
Who put this carnal desire inside me
_____
To stop me from looking toward Heaven
_____
She carries the original sin within her
_____
Wanting her, does it make me a criminal
_____
The one we took for a wh*re, a girl worth nothing
_____
Suddenly seems to bear the cross of humankind
_____
Oh, Notre-Dame, oh, let me just once
_____
Push open the gate to Esmeralda's garden
_____
Beautiful, despite her big black eyes that bewitch you
_____
Could the maiden still be a virgin
_____
When her moves show me wonders beyond belief
_____
Under her petticoat in rainbow colors
_____
My darling, let me be unfaithful to you
_____
Before I've led you to the altar
_____
What man would turn his gaze away from her
_____
At the risk of being turned into a pillar of salt
_____
Oh, Fleur-de-Lys, I'd like to be a man of faith
_____
I'd go pick Esmeralda's flower of love
_____
I set my eyes beneath her gypsy dress
_____
What's the point of praying anymore, Notre-Dame
_____
Who'll be the one to throw the first stone at her
_____
He doesn't deserve to be on earth
_____
Oh, let me just once
_____
Slide my fingers through Esmeralda's hair
