Le Bossu de Notre-Dame

Out There

The world is cruel, the world is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city, I am your only friend
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you, I who look upon you without fear
How can I protect you, boy, unless you always stay in here, away in here

You are deformed           I am deformed
And you are ugly            And I am ugly
And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity
You do not comprehend  You are my one defender

Out there they'll revile you as monster                  I am a monster
Out there they will hate and scorn and jeer           Only a monster
Why invite their calumny and consternation ?
Stay in here, be faithful to me, grateful to me			I'm faithful, I'm grateful
Do as I say, obey and stay in here					 I'll stay in here

Safe behin these windows and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories the show me

All my life, I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them but part of them...

And out there, living in the sun
Give me one day out there, all I ask is one to hold forever
Out there where they all live unaware
What I'd give, what I'd dare, just to live one day out there

Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them

If I was in their skin, I'd treasure every instant out there, strolling by the Seine
Taste the morning, out there, like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there, just one day and then
I swear I'll be content with my share

Won't resent, won't despair
Old and bent, I won't care
I'll have spent
One day out there
