Gringoire qu'as tu fais de ta femme?
Gringoire, what have you done with your wife?
Qu'on ne voit plus danser à Notre-Dame
That we no longer see dancing at Notre-Dame
Je n'en sais rien pour être honnête
I don't know to be honest
Vous êtes prêtre et moi poète
You are a priest and I am a poet
Nous n'avons pas des femmes
We don't have women
La même religion, la même poésie
The same religion, the same poetry
Où est-elle ton Esmeralda
Where is your Esmeralda
Les rues de Paris sont tristes sans elle
The streets of Paris are sad without her
Elle est seule dans une tourelle
She is alone in a turret
Loin de ceux qui craignent
Far from those who fear
Qu'on les ensorcelle
Let us bewitch them
Que veux tu dire poète?
What do you mean poet?
Tu as la langue fourchue
You have a forked tongue
Ne fais pas de pirouettes
Don't do pirouettes
Dis-moi si tu l'as vue
Tell me if you saw her
Où est-elle mon Esmeralda
Where is my Esmeralda
La Cour de Miracles à perdu sa reine
The Court of Miracles has lost its queen
Elle ressemble à une hirondelle
She looks like a swallow
À qui on aurait coupé les deux ailes
Whose two wings would have been cut off
Vous la trouverez à la prison de 'La Santé'
You will find her at 'La Santé' prison
Si vous ne la sauvez elle sera condamnée
If you don't save her she will be condemned
À être pendue
To be hanged
Ne m'en dites pas plus
Don't tell me more
Où est-elle notre Esmeralda?
Where is our Esmeralda?
Les rues de Paris sont tristes sans elle
The streets of Paris are sad without her
Elle ressemble à une hirondelle
She looks like a swallow
À qui on aurait coupé les deux ailes
Whose two wings would have been cut off
