Les Oiseaux Qu'on Met En Cage
Notre Dame De Paris
The Birds We Put in Cages
Esmeralda:
The birds we put in cages
Can they still fly?
The children we offend
Can they still love?
I was like a swallow
I arrived with the spring
I ran through the alleys
Singing gypsy songs
Where are you bell ringer?
Where are you my Quasimodo?
Come save me from the rope
Come remove my bars
Quasimodo:
Where are you my Esmeralda?
Where are you hiding from me?
It's been at least three days
Since we last saw you around
Did you go on a trip
With your handsome captain
Without engagement, without marriage
Like in pagan fashion?
Could you be dead perhaps
Without prayer and without crown?
Never let a priest
Approach your person
Esmeralda:
Remember a day at the fair
Quasimodo:
When they put me on the wheel
Esmeralda:
When I gave you a drink
Quasimodo:
I fell to my knees
Both:
That day we became
Friends for life and death
There is something
So strong between you and me
The birds we put in cages
Can they still fly?
The children we offend
Can they still love?
