Quasimodo looked from the bell tower, then turned and muttered to himself, "I don't think_I'm her type_." (Quasimodo hears the gargoyles using a couple of instruments and begins smiling from the music he vividly hears.)
#So many times out there I've watched a happy pair Of lovers walking in the night They had a kind of glow around them... It almost looked like heaven's light I knew I'd never know That warm and loving glow Though I might wish with all my might No face as hideous, as my face... Was ever meant for heaven's light But suddenly, an angel, has smiled at me... And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright I dare to dream that she Might even care for me And as I ring these bells tonight My cold, dark tower seems so bright I swear it must be Heaven's Light# (Quasimodo begins ringing a couple bells. In the church, the Archdeacon and a few monks are heard singing in Latin.)
#Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti Beatae Mariae, Semper virgini Beato Michaeli Archangelo, Sanctis apostolis Omnibus Sanctis# (Frollo can be seen looking from his balcony to the sky.)
#Beata Maria, you know I am a righteous man Of my virtue I am justly proud (Choir: Et tibi patri / Frollo moves to his fireplace.) Beata Maria, you know I'm so much purer than The common, vulgar weak, licentious crowd (Quia peccavi nimis) Then tell me, Maria, why I see her dancing there Why her smouldering eyes still scorch my soul (Cogitatione) I feel her, I see her... (A silhouette of La Esmeralda Zorra can be seen dancing provocatively within the fireplace Frollo's eyes gaze in.) The sun caught in her raven hair Is blazing in me out of all control (Verbo et opera) Like fire.... Hellfire! This fire in my skin This burning, desire Is turning me to sin (Frollo's mind puts him into a trance of judges in red robes before him, representing his sins. Frollo turns around in horror as he sees them.) It's not my fault! (Mea culpa / Frollo starts running through the hallway that he sees in the trance.) I'm not to blame (Mea culpa) It is the Gypsy girl, the witch who set this flame (Mea maxima culpa) It's not my fault! (Mea culpa) If in God's plan (Mea culpa) He made the devil so much stronger than a man Protect me, Maria! (The silhouette of the human-like vixen is seen again.) Don't let this siren cast her spell Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone Destroy Esmeralda! And let her taste the fires of Hell (The silhouette turns into a strange could smoke, which Frollo tries to hug, but sees it vanishing.) Or else let her be mine and mine alone# (Brutus knocks on Frollo's wood door, which is opened. Frollo, who is surprised, turns around.)
Brutus: Minister Frollo, the Gypsy has escaped. Frollo: What? Brutus: She's nowhere in the cathedral. She's gone. Frollo: But how? I... Never mind. (Frollo gets furious from the news.) Get out, you idiot! I'll find her... I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris! (Frollo's next lyrics are in purple. The synchronized choirs' is black text.)
#Hellfire! Dark fire Now, Gypsy: It's your turn Choose me or your pyre Be mine or you will burn (Frollo throws the cloth from Esmeralda in the fireplace.) Kyrie elei God have son mercy on her Kyrie elei God have son mercy on me Kyrie elei But, she son will be mine, or she, will, burn!# (Frollo suddenly collapses from sleep depravity and falls asleep.)
