[00:09.22]The world is cruel, the world is wicked
[00:13.03]It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city
[00:17.05]I am your only friend
[00:22.27]I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
[00:26.15]I who look upon you without fear
[00:30.50]How can I protect you, boy, unless you
[00:33.37]Always stay in here, away in here
[00:40.00]Remember what I've taught you, Quasimodo
[00:43.00]You are deformed, I am deformed
[00:45.00]And you are ugly, and I am ugly
[00:47.24]And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity
[00:51.01]You do not comprehend, you are my one defender
[00:56.28]Out there they'll revile you as a monster
[00:59.46]I am a monster out there they will hate
[01:01.90]And scorn and jeer, only a monster
[01:04.58]Why invite their calumny and consternation?
[01:09.00]Stay in here
[01:11.09]Be faithful to me, I'm faithful
[01:13.43]Grateful to me, I'm grateful
[01:16.76]Do as I say, obey
[01:21.12]And stay in here
[01:42.17]Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
[01:46.24]Gazing at the people down below me
[01:50.29]All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
[01:54.30]Hungry for the histories they'd shown me
[01:58.51]All my life I memorize their faces
[02:02.53]Knowing them as they will never know me
[02:06.58]All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
[02:10.35]Not above them but part of them
[02:18.46]And out there living in the sun
[02:25.27]Give me one day out there
[02:29.00]All I ask is one to hold forever
[02:34.87]Out there where they all live unaware
[02:41.49]What I'd give, what I'd dare
[02:48.80]Just to live one day out there
[03:00.01]Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
[03:04.24]Through the roofs and gables I can see them
[03:07.79]Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives
[03:11.47]Heedless of the gift it is to be them
[03:14.76]If I was in their skin, I'd treasure every instant
[03:24.30]Out there strolling by the Seine
[03:29.91]Taste a morning out there like ordinary men
[03:37.28]Who freely walk about there just one day and then
[03:44.71]I swear I'll be content with my share
[03:53.70]Won't resent, won't despair, old and bent I won't care
[04:00.81]I'll have spent one day out ther
