# I, who look upon you

without fear #

# How can I

protect you, boy #

# Unless you always

stay in here #

# Away in here #

Remember what

I've taught you, Quasimodo.

- # 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 a 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 #

- # I'm faithful #

- # Grateful to me #

- # I'm grateful #

# Do as I say

Obey #

- # And stay in here #

- # I'll stay in here #

You are good to me, Master.

- I'm sorry.

- You are forgiven.

But, remember, Quasimodo,

this is your sanctuary.

My sanctuary.

# Safe behind 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

they 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 ##

Hmm. Uh-uh.

You leave town for a couple of decades,

and they change everything.

Excuse me, gentlemen, I'm looking for

the Palace ofJustice. Would you...

Mmm. I guess not.

Ahh!

Stay away, child. They're Gypsies.

They'll steal us blind.

All right, Gypsy.

- Where'd ya get the money?

- For your information, I earned it.

- Gypsies don't earn money.

- They steal it.

You'd know

a lot about stealing.

Troublemaker, eh?

Maybe a day in the stocks

will cool ya down.

- Oof!

- Oof!

Come back here,

Gypsy!

- Achilles, sit.

- Whoa!

Oh, dear, I'm sorry.
