Belle
Paige O'Hara & Chorus Feat. Richard White Lyrics

Little town
This village is small and insignificant

It's a quiet village
The village is peaceful and uneventful

Every day
Each day is the same as the one before

Like the one before
Nothing ever changes

Little town
This village is insignificant

Full of little people
Inhabited by ordinary and unremarkable individuals

Waking up to say
Starting their day by greeting each other

Bonjour
Good day

Bonjour Bonjour Bonjour
Repeatedly saying hello to everyone

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
He sells the usual baked goods

Every morning just the same
This routine happens every day without variation

Since the morning that we came
Since the day we arrived in this village

To this poor provincial town
To this insignificant and dull town

Good Morning, Belle
Greeting Belle in the morning

'Morning, Monsieur
Responding to a man named Monsieur in the morning

Where are you off to
Where are you going

The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story
I am going to the bookshop after reading a fantastic story

about a beanstalk and an ogre and a
It was about a beanstalk, an ogre, and

That's nice. Marie, the baguettes hurry up
The artist responds politely and then calls someone named Marie to quickly get the baguettes

Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
Observing Belle, noticing her unusual behavior

Dazed and distracted, can't you tell
Belle appears lost in thought, easily noticeable

Never part of any crowd
Belle doesn't fit in with others

'Cause her head's up on some cloud
Her thoughts are elsewhere

No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
It's clear that Belle is an eccentric and amusing girl

Good day
Greetings

How is your family
Asking about the well-being of one's family

Good day
Greetings

How is your wife
Inquiring about the health and happiness of one's wife

I need six eggs
Requesting to purchase six eggs

That's too expensive
Expressing dissatisfaction with the price

There must be more than this provincial life
Yearning for a life beyond the mundane and predictable village

Good Morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed
Belle greets someone and returns a borrowed book

Finished already
Surprised that Belle finished the book so quickly

Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new
Expressing how much Belle enjoyed the book and inquiring about new ones

Ha Ha! Not since yesterday
The person laughs and informs Belle that new books are not available so soon

That's all right. I'll borrow, this one
Accepting the lack of new books and deciding to borrow a familiar one

That one? But you've read it twice
Someone questions Belle's choice as she has already read the book twice

Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring sword fights
Belle defends her choice, mentioning her love for the book's themes like distant locations and exciting battles

magic spells, a prince in disguise
Belle lists additional elements she enjoys, such as enchantments and hidden princes

If you like it all that much, it's yours
The person grants Belle permission to keep the book if she loves it so much

But sir
Belle responds with an objection

I insist
The person strongly insists on Belle keeping the book

Well, thank you. Thank you very much
Belle expresses gratitude for the act of kindness

Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
Observing Belle once again and noting her peculiarity

I wonder if she's feeling well
Questioning Belle's emotional or physical state

With a dreamy far-off look
Describing Belle's gaze as distant and dreamlike

And her nose stuck in a book
Noticing that Belle is engrossed in reading

What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle
Belle's behavior and interests confuse and intrigue others

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

It's my favorite part because you'll see
Referring to a favorite part of a story and eagerly explaining why it's so special

Here's where she meets Prince Charming
Describing a crucial moment in a story when the artist encounters the romantic interest

But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three
Revealing that the character won't realize the true identity of Prince Charming until later in the story

Now it's no wonder that her name means "beauty"
Highlighting the connection between Belle's name and her appearance

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

But behind that fair facade
However, beneath her attractive exterior

I'm afraid she's rather odd
There is a concern that Belle has unusual and unconventional qualities

Very diff'rent from the rest of us
Belle stands out and is unlike the majority

She's nothing like the rest of us
Belle is completely distinct from everyone else

Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle
Indeed, Belle is unique and doesn't conform to societal norms

Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston, You're the greatest
Praising Gaston's hunting skills and considering him the best

hunter in the whole world!
Acknowledging Gaston as the top hunter globally

I know.
Gaston confidently agrees

No beast alive stands a chance against you. Ha ha ha and
Asserting that no animal can rival Gaston's hunting abilities and laughing

no girl, for that matter.
Including women as incapable of challenging Gaston

It's true, LeFou. And I've got my sights set on that one
Affirming the truth and Gaston's intention to pursue a specific girl

Hmm the inventor's daughter
Identifying the girl as the daughter of an inventor

She's the one - the lucky girl I'm going to marry
Considering himself fortunate to marry the girl he desires

But she's
However, there is a complication

The most beautiful girl in town.
Recognizing the girl as the most attractive in the entire village

I know, but
Acknowledging the truth but attempting to justify his pursuit

That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best
Arguing that her beauty makes her the ideal partner and asserting his right to have the best

Well, of course! I mean you do, but
Agreeing with Gaston's statement, although hesitantly

Right from the moment when I met her, saw her
Recalling the first moment Gaston laid eyes on the girl

I said she's gorgeous and I fell
Gaston immediately found her beautiful and was captivated

Here in town there's only she
Highlighting that the girl is the only one of her kind in the village

Who is beautiful as me
Asserting that the girl's beauty matches his own

So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
Deciding to pursue Belle romantically and aiming to marry her

Look there he goes
Observing the person in question

Isn't he dreamy
Expressing admiration and affection towards the person

Monsieur Gaston
Addressing the person as Monsieur Gaston

Oh he's so cute
Commenting on his attractiveness

Be still my heart
Exclaiming in excitement or infatuation

I'm hardly breathing
Feeling breathless due to overwhelming emotions

He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute
Describing the person as physically imposing and attractive

Pardon
Excuse me

Good day
Greetings

Mais oui
But yes

You call this bacon
Questioning the quality of the presented bacon

What lovely grapes
Appreciating the attractiveness of the grapes

Some cheese
Requesting a portion of cheese

Ten yards
Asking for a measurement of ten yards

One pound
Requesting one pound of a certain item

'Scuse me
Excuse me

I'll get the knife
Offering to retrieve the knife for someone

Please let me through
Asking for permission to pass through

This bread
Referring to a specific loaf of bread

Those fish
Pointing to a selection of fish

It's stale
Noticing that the bread is no longer fresh

They smell
Commenting on the unpleasant odor of the fish

Madame's mistaken
Informing someone that their statement is incorrect

There must be more than this provincial life
Expressing the desire for a life beyond the monotonous and uneventful village

Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife
Determined to pursue Belle as a romantic partner and intending to marry her

Look there she goes a girl who's strange but special
Observing Belle once again and acknowledging her uniqueness

A most peculiar mademoiselle
Referring to Belle as a particularly unusual young woman

It's a pity and a sin
Regretting and considering it unfortunate

She doesn't quite fit in
Noting that Belle doesn't conform or belong

'Cause she really is a funny girl
Acknowledging that Belle truly has an eccentric personality

A beauty but a funny girl
Recognizing Belle's attractiveness but also her quirkiness

She really is a funny girl
Reiterating that Belle is indeed a humorous and peculiar individual

That Belle
Referring to Belle
