[ESMERALDA]
In my life, I've seen some things
Cruelty and heartlessness
And the danger fighting them brings
Then a fight comes, I say "yes."
I am just a....

[PHOEBUS]
I am just a fool I guess

[FROLLO]
Coward! Traitor! Gypsy's pawn!
You are relieved of your patrol!

[PHOEBUS]
(spoken)
Consider it my highest honor

[FROLLO]
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on your soul
(spoken)
Do away with this seditious ingrate!

[CLOPIN]
And as his bow, the soldier drew
Who should appear - the gypsy Esmeralda
She hurled a stone, the arrow flew
And then they both escaped into the dark...
[FROLLO]
(spoken)
Don't stand there, get them! I don't care if you have to burn down all of Paris!

(sung)
Hunt down the gypsy Esmeralda!
Don't let her flee and vanish in the night!
These are the flames of Esmeralda!
While she is free, out torches will burn bright!

[FROLLO and SOLDIERS]
Hunt down the gypsy Esmeralda!
Don't let her flee and vanish in the night!
These are the flames of Esmeralda!
While she is free, out torches will burn bright!

[QUASIMODO]
Fire, fire, smoke and flame!
Esmeralda, where are you?
In this dark I call your name
Is that all that I can do?

[PHOEBUS]
What have I done for Esmeralda?
Why do I hear her voice inside my head?
Why do I think of Esmeralda
With my career and prospects left for dead?
[FROLLO]
Once more my duty calls
Paris is burning
Lit to expose that furtive pair
Sneaking about out there

[QUASIMODO]
Out there somewhere she is lost

[PHOEBUS]
Somewhere she is lost

[QUASIMODO]
Esmeralda!

[THREE LEADS]
Where is the girl called Esmeralda?
The flames grow tall and sharp as fleurs-de-lys.(Misericordia)
All Paris burns for Esmeralda
And still it all comes down to her and me
(Dona knobs pacem, pacem)


[FROLLO]
The devil dwells in Esmeralda
[QUASIMODO]
Oh, Esmeralda! Oh, Esmeralda!

[PHOEBUS]
I've got to find her!

[FROLLO
Resist his charm

[QUASIMODO and GARGOYLES/counter]
Wake up the city and sound the alarm!

[FROLLO and SOLDIERS/counter]
Wake up the city and sound the alarm!

[CLOPIN and GYPSIES/counter]
Wake up the city and sound the alarm!

[ALL PRINCIPAL MALES]
These are the flames of Esmeralda
The night is singing
Of Esmeralda
Even the bells of Notre Dame!
