Belle
Burke Moses Kenny Raskin Linda Talcott Paige Price Sarah Solie Shannon Susan Egan & Townspeople Lyrics

Little town
Referring to the small village where the story takes place

It's a quiet village
Describing the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the village

Every day
Indicating that each day is the same as the one before

Like the one before
Highlighting the repetitive nature of daily life in the village

Full of little people
Emphasizing the smallness and insignificance of the villagers

Waking up to say
Showing that the villagers start their day with a typical greeting

Bonjour bonjour
The villagers greet each other with a cheerful 'Good morning'

There goes the baker with his tray, like always
Observing the familiar sight of the baker carrying his goods for sale as part of his routine

The same old bread and rolls to sell
Noting that the baker offers the usual selection of baked goods

Every morning just the same
Reiterating that the routine remains unchanged

Since the morning that we came
Implying that the routine has been consistent since the villagers' arrival

To this poor provincial town
Referring to the village as a financially struggling and unsophisticated place

Good morning, Belle
Greeting Belle, the main character, in a friendly manner

Good morning, monsieur Jean
Greetings exchanged with a villager named Monsieur Jean

Have you lost something again?
Playfully asking if Monsieur Jean has misplaced an item

Well, I believe I have
Admitting to having lost something

Problem is, I've, I can't remember what
Expressing the inability to recall what was lost

Oh well, I'm sure it'll come to me
Optimistically expecting that the lost item will be remembered eventually

Where you off to?
Asking Belle about her destination

To return this book to Pere Robert, it's about to lovers in fair Verona
Explaining that Belle is heading to the library to return a book about a romantic story set in Verona

Sound boring
Implying a lack of interest in Belle's choice of reading material

Look there she goes, that girl is strange, no question
Pointing out Belle's unconventional behavior and appearance

Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Observing Belle's absent-mindedness and preoccupation

Never part of any crowd
Highlighting Belle's tendency to stand out and not conform to societal norms

'Cause her head's up on some cloud
Attributing Belle's daydreaming and imagination to her unique personality

No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
Acknowledging that Belle has a quirky and humorous demeanor

Bonjour, good day
The villagers extend their morning greetings again

How is your family?
Inquiring about the well-being of Belle's relatives

How is your wife?
Asking about the status of Jean's spouse

I need six eggs
Stating a request for a specific amount of eggs

That's too expensive!
Expressing dissatisfaction with the price of the eggs

There must be more than this provincial life!
Expressing a desire for a more fulfilling and exciting existence

Ah, If it isn't the only bookworm in town!
Playfully acknowledging Belle's avid reading habits

So, where did you run off to this week?
Inquiring about Belle's recent places of interest or exploration

Two cities in Northern Italy
Informing about the cities Belle visited in Italy

I didn't want to come back
Expressing reluctance to return to the village after traveling

Have you got any new places to go?
Asking if Belle has discovered any exciting new destinations

I'm afraid not
Regretfully stating that there are no new places to explore

But you may re-read any of the old ones that you'd like
Offering Belle the option to revisit previously read books

Your library makes our small corner of the world feel big
Acknowledging that the library creates a sense of vastness and knowledge within the limited village setting

Bon voyage
Wishing Belle a pleasant journey or adventure

Look there she goes, that girl is so peculiar
Continuing to observe Belle's eccentricity and uniqueness

I wonder if she's feeling well
Expressing curiosity about Belle's state of mind or emotions

With a dreamy, far-off look
Describing Belle's expression as distant and lost in thought

And her nose stuck in a book
Noting Belle's habit of being engrossed in reading materials

What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle
Highlighting the villagers' confusion and fascination with Belle's personality

Oh, isn't this amazing?
Expressing wonder or excitement

It's my favorite part because you'll see
Sharing anticipation for a specific moment or event

Here's where she meets Prince Charming

But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!
Revealing that Belle will take some time to recognize her true love interest in the story

Now it's no wonder that her name means Beauty
Highlighting the connection between Belle's name and her physical attractiveness

Her looks have got no parallel
Emphasizing that Belle's appearance is unmatched

But behind that fair facade
Suggesting that there is more to Belle than her external beauty

I'm afraid she's rather odd
Admitting that Belle's personality and behavior are unconventional

Very different from the rest of us

She's nothing like the rest of us

My future wife

Belle is the most beautiful girl in the village
Stating Belle's exceptional beauty compared to other girls in the village

That's makes her the best
Asserting that Belle's beauty makes her the ideal choice for LeFou

But she's so well-read
Recognizing that Belle has a vast knowledge acquired through reading

And you're so athletically-inclined
Contrasting LeFou's physical abilities with Belle's intellectual pursuits

Yes, ever since the war, I felt like I've been missing something

She's the only girl that ever given me that sense of
Referring to Belle as the only person who has made LeFou feel a certain way

I said she's gorgeous and I fell
Expressing LeFou's immediate attraction and infatuation with Belle

Here in town there's only she
Highlighting Belle as the only person who stands out in the village

Who is beautiful as me
Comparing Belle's beauty to LeFou's own physical appearance

So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle

Bonjour, pardon

Good day, mais oui!
