Belle
Bénédicte Lecroard Lyrics

Little town
This village is small and insignificant

It's a quiet village
Nothing exciting ever happens here

Every day
Just like the previous days

Like the one before
Monotonous and repetitive

Little town
Small and unremarkable

Full of little people
Inhabited by ordinary individuals

Waking up to say
Greeting each other in the morning

Bonjour bonjour
Hello, hello

Bonjour bonjour bonjour
Hello, hello, hello

There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The baker is carrying his usual assortment of bread and rolls

The same old bread and rolls to sell
Nothing new or exciting in the bakery

Every morning just the same
A repetitive routine

Since the morning that we came
Since our arrival in this unremarkable town

To this poor provincial town
To this insignificant village

Good morning, Belle
Belle is greeted in the morning

Good morning, monsieur Jean
Monsieur Jean is also greeted in the morning

Have you lost something again?
Belle is known for losing things frequently

Well, I believe I have
Yes, I think I have

Problem is, I've, I can't remember what
I can't recall what I lost

Oh well, I'm sure it'll come to me
I'm confident that it will come back to me

Where you off to?
Where are you going?

To return this book to Pere Robert, it's about two lovers in fair Verona
I need to give this book back to Pere Robert, it's a story of two lovers in Verona

Sound boring
That sounds uninteresting

Look there she goes, that girl is strange, no question
There she is, that girl is peculiar, without a doubt

Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
She appears lost in her own thoughts and not paying attention

Never part of any crowd
She never blends in with others

'Cause her head's up on some cloud
Her mind is occupied by her own dreams and fantasies

No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
There's no denying that Belle is an eccentric girl

Bonjour, good day
Hello, have a good day

How is your family?
How is your family doing?

How is your wife?
How is your wife feeling?

I need six eggs
I require six eggs

That's too expensive!
The price is too high!

There must be more than this provincial life!
There must be something more exciting than this dull village life!

Ah, If it isn't the only bookworm in town!
Oh, look, it's the only person who loves reading in this town!

So, where did you run off to this week?
Where did you go without telling anyone this week?

Two cities in Northern Italy
I visited two cities in Northern Italy

I didn't want to come back
I didn't want to return to this place

Have you got any new places to go?
Do you have any new destinations in mind?

I'm afraid not
Unfortunately, no

But you may re-read any of the old ones that you'd like
But you can always revisit any of the books you've read before

Your library makes our small corner of the world feel big
Your library expands the horizons of our small community

Bon voyage
Have a good trip

Look there she goes, that girl is so peculiar
There she goes again, that girl is incredibly odd

I wonder if she's feeling well
I'm curious if she's feeling okay

With a dreamy, far-off look
She has a dreamy and distant expression

And her nose stuck in a book
She's always engrossed in a book

What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle
Belle is a mystery to the rest of us

Oh, isn't this amazing?
Oh, isn't this incredible?

It's my favorite part because you'll see
This is my favorite section because it's significant

Here's where she meets Prince Charming
This is where she encounters Prince Charming

But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!
But she won't realize it's him until chapter three!

Now it's no wonder that her name means Beauty
It's not surprising that her name signifies beauty

Her looks have got no parallel
Her appearance is unmatched

But behind that fair facade
However, beneath that beautiful exterior

I'm afraid she's rather odd
I'm afraid she's quite peculiar

Very different from the rest of us
She's extremely different from everyone else

She's nothing like the rest of us
She's completely unlike the rest of us

Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle!
Indeed, Belle is unique among us!

Look at her, LeFou
Look at her, LeFou

My future wife
The person I will marry in the future

Belle is the most beautiful girl in the village
Belle is considered the most beautiful girl in the village

That's makes her the best
That's what makes her superior

But she's so well-read
However, she is very well-read

And you're so athletically-inclined
While you are inclined towards athleticism

Yes, ever since the war, I felt like I've been missing something
Yes, since the war, I have felt a sense of emptiness

She's the only girl that ever given me that sense of
She's the only girl who has made me feel that way

Mmm je ne sais quoi?
Mmm, je ne sais quoi?

I don't know what that means
I'm not sure what that means

Right from the moment when I met her, saw her
From the very moment I met her, saw her

I said she's gorgeous and I fell
I thought she was stunning and fell in love

Here in town there's only she
She is the only one here in town

Who is beautiful as me
Who is as beautiful as I am

So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
Therefore, I am devising strategies to win over and marry Belle

Look there he goes
Look, there he goes

Isn't he dreamy?
Isn't he attractive?

Monsieur Gaston
Monsieur Gaston

Oh, he's so cute!
Oh, he's so charming!

Be still my heart
My heart is fluttering

I'm hardly breathing
I can barely breathe

He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute!
He is a tall, dark, strong, and attractive man!

Bonjour, pardon
Hello, sorry

Good day, mais oui!
Good day, yes indeed!

You call this bacon, what lovely flowers
You call this bacon? These flowers are beautiful

Some cheese, ten yards, one pound, excuse me I'll get the knife
I'd like some cheese, ten yards of fabric, one pound of meat, please excuse me while I get the knife

Please let me through!
Please allow me to pass!

This bread, those fish, it's stale, they smell!
The bread is stale, the fish smells!

Madame's mistaken Well, maybe so
Madame may be mistaken, well, perhaps

There must be more than this provincial life!
There must be something more exciting than this dull village life!

Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!
Just wait and see, I'm going to marry Belle!

A most peculiar mademoiselle!
A very peculiar young lady!

It's a pity and a sin
It's unfortunate and regrettable

She doesn't quite fit in
She doesn't really belong here

'Cause she really is a funny girl
Because she truly is an eccentric girl

A beauty but a funny girl
She is beautiful, but also peculiar

She really is a funny girl
She truly is an unconventional girl

That Belle
That's Belle
