Belle
Classic Disney - Beauty and The Beast Lyrics

Little town
This village is small but considerate

It's a quiet village
Only the chirping of birds can be heard as there is no hustle or bustle

Every day
Nothing new happens everyday. Just like the day before.

Like the one before
Every day seems identical to the one before

Full of little people
The villagers go about their routine every day

Waking up to say
As the day dawns, they wish each other good morning with a positive spirit

Bonjour
The French greeting that means 'hello'

There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The baker walks past with his basket with the same kind of bread every day

The same old bread and rolls to sell
The baker sells the same types of breads and rolls every day

Since the morning that we came
The artist is new in town and recounts witnessing the same daily monotony ever since they arrived

To this poor provincial town
The singer feels pity for this economically deprived town

'Morning, Monsieur
Belle greets Monsieur with enthusiasm in the morning

Where are you off to
Belle enquires where Monsieur is heading to

That's nice
Belle shows her politeness in response to the news of Monsieur's reading choice

Marie, the baguettes hurry up
Monsieur leaves in a hurry asking the baguette maker Marie to hurry up

Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
Everyone is staring at Belle and concludes she's charming but strange

Dazed and distracted, can't you tell
Belle appears to be lost in her thoughts and not quite present at that moment

Never part of any crowd
Belle doesn't conform to the customs and behavioral habits of the villagers

'Cause her head's up on some cloud
Belle seems lost in her dreams, not in sync with her surroundings

Good day
A greeting that means 'hello'

How is your family
A general question inquiring about the well-being of his family members

How is your wife
A general question inquiring about the well-being of his wife

That's too expensive
Belle finds the price of six eggs too high

There must be more than this provincial life
Belle is tired of the monotonous lifestyle offered by the village and wishes for more

Good Morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed
Belle greeted the librarian who lent her a book which she has come to return

Finished already
The librarian finds it surprising that Belle has finished reading the book already

Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new
Belle relays her love and passion for reading and wants to read more novels

Ha Ha! Not since yesterday
The librarian laughs and informs Belle that she doesn't have any new books at the moment as she had just lent her one yesterday

That's all right. I'll borrow, this one
Belle chose to borrow the same book again as it was her favorite one yet

That one? But you've read it twice
The librarian was surprised that Belle wanted to borrow the same book again, which she has already read twice before

If you like it all that much, it's yours
The librarian generously lends the book to Belle if she truly loved it so much.

But sir
Belle insists on returning the book as she believes she has borrowed it enough times already

I insist
The librarian insists on lending the book to Belle as she sees nothing wrong in lending a good book to someone who loves it so much

Well, thank you. Thank you very much
Belle thanks the librarian graciously for the generous act and heads out while carrying her newly borrowed book with elation

Isn't he dreamy
Belle is fantasizing about the strapping Gaston as he is quite the catch to her eyes.

Oh he's so cute
Belle expresses further admiration of Gaston, using another adjective to convey her attraction to him

Be still, my heart. I'm hardly breathing
Belle is so enchanted by Gaston, it's difficult for her to contain her emotions

Bonjour
Gaston greets the baker

Pardon
The baker excuses himself politely

Mais oui
Gaston replies in French in agreement to the baker's statement

You call this bacon
Gaston insults the bacon by questioning its authenticity

What lovely grapes
Gaston compliments the grapes

Ten yards
Gaston orders for ten yards of fabric

One pound
Gaston places an order for a pound of cheese

'Scuse me
Gaston politely makes his way through the crowd to get his orders

I'll get the knife
The baker offers to get the knife for the customer to slice the bread

Please let me through
Gaston politely requests the villagers to make way for him

This bread. Those fish
Gaston complains about the staleness of the bread and the stench of the fish

It's stale. They smell
Gaston complains about the quality of the bread and stinky fish

Madame's mistaken
Gaston rudely dismisses a woman for greeting him wrongly as madame when he's clearly monsieur

Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife
Gaston is confident that he will marry Belle by making her fall deeply in love with him

A most peculiar mademoiselle
Belle is seen as different and eccentric compared to the villagers

'Cause she really is a funny girl
Belle is known to others as a polite but quirky and odd girl

A beauty but a funny girl
Although Belle is beautiful, her peculiar habits stand out among her other traits

Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston, You're the greatest hunter in the whole world!
LeFou is showing praise toward Gaston for his excellent skills as a hunter.

I know.
Gaston accepts the compliments very modestly.

No beast alive stands a chance against you. Ha ha ha and no girl, for that matter.
LeFou continues to praise Gaston and his ability to overpower beasts, even if they were women.

It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sights set on that one
Gaston plans to marry Belle and will do anything to win her heart.

The most beautiful girl in town.
Gaston believes that Belle is the most beautiful girl in the village.

That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best
Gaston believes he is worthy of Belle, who is the belle of the town.

Well, of course! I mean you do, but
LeFou agrees with Gaston but is hesitant to disclose his opinion.

Right from the moment when I met her, saw her, I said she's gorgeous and I fell
Gaston claims to have fallen in love with Belle the very first time he laid his eyes on her.

Here in town there's only she who is beautiful as me
Besides Gaston, he finds that there is only one other person in town as beautiful as he is and that's Belle.

So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
Gaston is scheming to make Belle fall in love with him and eventually marry him.

It's a pity and a sin, She doesn't quite fit in
Belle is not like the majority of the villagers and is often misunderstood by them.

'Cause she really is a funny girl, A beauty but a funny girl
Belle is beautiful, but her unique personality sets her apart from the rest of the town.

She's nothing like the rest of us
Belle is a unique individual who is different in personality and character compared to the majority of villagers.

Yes, differents from the rest of us is Belle
Belle is distinguished from others and stands out among the crowd.

Now it's no wonder that her name means 'beauty', Her looks have got no parallel
Belle's name is fitting as she embodies the meaning of beauty and has a unique appearance that towers above everyone else's.

But behind that fair facade I'm afraid she's rather odd
Although Belle is beautiful externally, her strange and quirky inclinations turn people off.

Very diff'rent from the rest of us
Belle is unique and has different interests and hobbies than everyone else.

She's nothing like the rest of us
This reiteration emphasizes the differences between Belle and the village people.

Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle
This repetition emphasizes the point that Belle, while different, is worthy of love and respect.
