Dzwony Notre Dame
Disney Lyrics

Morning in Paris, the city awakes
The bustling life of Paris begins in the morning

To the bells of Notre Dame
The commotion of the city is accompanied by the ringing of Notre Dame's bells

The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
Different professions commence their work in the morning

To the big bells as loud as the thunder
The huge bells are as loud as a thunderclap

To the little bells soft as a psalm
The tiny bells sound like a calming prayer

And some say the soul of the city is
It is believed that the character of Paris is defined by

The toll of the bells
The ringing of the bells of Notre Dame

The bells of Notre Dame
The church bells of Notre-Dame Cathedral

Dark was the night when our tale was begun
The story starts on a dark night

On the docks near Notre Dame
It happened near the river Seine and Notre-Dame

Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
Four scared gypsy people moved carefully along the river

But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
Someone laid a trap for them

And they gazed up in fear and alarm
The gypsies were scared and shocked by what they saw

At a figure whose clutches
At a person whose grip

Were iron as much as the bells
Were strong as the ringing of the bells

Judge Claude Frollo longed
Judge Claude Frollo wished

To purge the world
To clean the world

Of vice and sin
From bad habits and sins

And he saw corruption
He noticed how corrupted the world is

Ev'rywhere
In every place

Except within
But he did not see it in himself

Dies irae, dies illa
Day of wrath, that day

(Dies irae, dies illa)
(Day of wrath, that day)

Solv̩t saeclum in favilla
The world dissolved into ashes

Teste David cum sibylla
As David and the Sibyl foretold

Quantus tremor est futurus
What trembling is to come

Quando Judex est venturus
When the Judge is to come

See there the innocent blood you have spilt
Look, see the blood of an innocent all over you

On the steps of Notre Dame
On the entrance stairs of Notre-Dame Cathedral

Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
You are going to add the blood of this child too to your sins

You can lie to yourself and your minions
You have the liberty to deceive yourself and your followers

You can claim that you haven't a qualm
You can say that your conscience is clear and sound

But you never can run from
But you can never escape from

Nor hide what you've done from the eyes
Neither hide what you have done from the sight

The very eyes of Notre Dame
The exact eyes of Notre-Dame Cathedral

And for one time in his live
For the first time in his life

Of power and control
Of dominance and influence

Frollo felt a twinge of fear
Frollo experienced a sudden feeling of anxiety

For his immortal soul
For his everlasting soul

Just so he's kept locked away
He is kept under lock and key

Where no one else can see
In a place where no one else can witness

Even this foul creature may
Even this wicked person could

Yet prove one day to be
One day prove to be

Of use to me
Helpful to me

Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Here is a puzzle to solve if you are capable

Sing the bells of Notre Dame
Listen to the bells of Notre-Dame Cathedral

Who is the monster and who is the man
Which is the monster and which is the man

Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Hear the ringing of the bells, bells, bells, bells

Bells, bells, bells, bells
The chiming of the bells, bells, bells, bells

Bells of Notre Dame
The musical notes of the bells at Notre-Dame Cathedral
