Belle
Disney/Disney Lyrics

Little town
Boring and small town

It's a quiet village
The town lacks excitement or activity

Every day Like the one before
Every day in the small town is dull and repetitive

Little town Full of little people
The town is tiny and has a small population with minimal significance

Waking up to say Bonjour Bonjour Bonjour Bonjour Bonjour
People in the small town have limited social activities and greetings are repeated every day

There goes the baker with his tray, like always The same old bread and rolls to sell Every morning just the same Since the morning that we came To this poor provincial town
The town has a few aspects including small businesses and lack of growth

Good morning, Belle 'Morning, Monsieur Where are you off to The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story about a beanstalk and an ogre
This is a conversation between Belle and the baker. Belle is one of the few people in the town who seeks intellectual experiences, like reading.

That's nice. Marie, the baguettes hurry up
The baker interrupts the conversation to fulfill his duties

Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question Dazed and distracted, can't you tell Never part of any crowd 'Cause her head's up on some cloud No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
Everyone in the town notices that Belle is different from the others who are less curious about the world

Bonjour Good day How is your family Bonjour Good day How is your wife
Another conversation between two townspeople, this time they talk about family

I need six eggs That's too expensive There must be more than this provincial life
Belle shares her disinterest in staying in a mundane town. She wants to explore new places.

Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new Ha Ha! Not since yesterday That's all right. I'll borrow, this one That one? But you've read it twice Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring sword fights magic spells, a prince in disguise If you like it all that much, it's yours But sir I insist Well, thank you. Thank you very much
Belle goes back to the bookstore and insists on borrowing her favorite book, the shopkeeper eventually gifts it to her.

Now it's no wonder that her name means 'beauty' Her looks have got no parallel But behind that fair facade I'm afraid she's rather odd Very diff'rent from the rest of us She's nothing like the rest of us Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle
Despite Belle's beauty, she does not have the same interests and personality as the rest of the townspeople

No beast alive stands a chance against you. Ha ha ha and no girl, for that matter. It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sights set on that one Hmm the inventor's daughter She's the one - the lucky girl I'm going to marry
Gaston, a popular town hunter, thinks he is invincible and decides to pursue Belle, the inventor's daughter. This is despite him not knowing her at all

Look there he goes Isn't he dreamy Monsieur Gaston Oh he's so cute Be still my heart I'm hardly breathing He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute
Some townspeople, including the three blonde sisters, admire Gaston's appearance and celebrate his presence

Bonjour Pardon Good day Mais oui You call this bacon What lovely grapes Some cheese Ten yards One pound 'Scuse me I'll get the knife Please let me through This bread Those fish It's stale They smell Madame's mistaken
A busy scene where townspeople are shopping and expressing their opinions while doing their business

Look there she goes a girl who's strange but special A most peculiar mademoiselle It's a pity and a sin She doesn't quite fit in 'Cause she really is a funny girl A beauty but a funny girl She really is a funny girl That Belle
Again, this passage highlights Bella's peculiar traits that make her stand out in the small town but also makes her more appealing and unique than the others
