Belle, is the only word I know that suits her well When she dances oh, the stories she can tell A free bird trying out her wings to fly away And when I see her move I see the hell to pay
She dances naked in my soul and sleep won't come And it's no use to pray this prayers to Notre Dame Tell, who'd be the first to raise his hand and throw a stone I'd hang him high and laugh to see him die alone Oh Lucifer, please let me go beyond god's law And run my fingers through her hair Esmeralda
Belle, there is a demon inside her who came from hell And he turned my eyes from god, and oh, I fell He put this heat inside me I'm ashamed to tell Without my god inside I'm just a burning shell
The sin of Eve she has in her I know so well For want of her I know I'd give my soul to sell Belle, this gypsy girl is there a soul beneath her skin And dies she bear the cross of all our human sin Oh Notre-Dame please let me go beyond god's law Open the door of love inside Esmeralda
Belle, even though her eyes seem to lead us to hell She may be more pure more pure than the words can tell But when she dances feelings come no man can quell Beneath her rainbow coloured dress there burns the well
My promised one please let me one time be untrue Before in front of god and man I marry you Who'd be the man who'd turn from her to save his soul To be with her I'd let the devil take me whole Oh, Fleur-De-Lys I am a man who knows no love I go to open up the rose Esmeralda
She dances naked in my soul and sleep won't come And it's no use to pray this prayers to Notre Dame Tell, who'd be the first to raise his hand and throw a stone I'd hang him high and laugh to see him die alone Oh Lucifer,please let me go beyond god's law And run my fingers through her hair Esmeralda
