1
The world is cruel, the world is wicked
2
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city
3
I am your only friend
4
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
5
I who look upon you without fear
6
How can I protect you, boy, unless you
7
Always stay in here, away in here
8
Remember what I've taught you, Quasimodo
9
You are deformed, I am deformed
10
And you are ugly, and I am ugly
11
And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity
12
You do not comprehend, you are my one defender
13
Out there they'll revile you as a monster
14
I am a monster out there they will hate
15
And scorn and jeer, only a monster
16
Why invite their calumny and consternation?
17
Stay in here
18
Be faithful to me, I'm faithful
19
Grateful to me, I'm grateful
20
Do as I say, obey
21
And stay in here
22
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
23
Gazing at the people down below me
24
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
25
Hungry for the histories they'd shown me
26
All my life I memorize their faces
27
Knowing them as they will never know me
28
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
29
Not above them but part of them
30
And out there living in the sun
31
Give me one day out there
32
All I ask is one to hold forever
33
Out there where they all live unaware
34
What I'd give, what I'd dare
35
Just to live one day out there
36
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
37
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
38
Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives
39
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
40
If I was in their skin, I'd treasure every instant
41
Out there strolling by the Seine
42
Taste a morning out there like ordinary men
43
Who freely walk about there just one day and then
44
I swear I'll be content with my share
45
Won't resent, won't despair, old and bent I won't care
46
I'll have spent one day out there
