Belle [English translation]

Beautiful

It's a word that seems to have been invented for her

When she dances and reveals her body like

A bird spreading his wings to fly away

Then I feel Hell opening under my feet

I looked under her gipsy dress

Why should I still pray Our Lady now ?

Who is the one who'll throw the first stone at her ?

This one doesn't deserve to be on Earth.

O Lucifer !

Oh ! Let me just once

Slide my fingers in Esmeralda's hair

Beautiful

Is the Devil embodying her

To deflect my eyes from the Eternal God

Who places into my body this carnal desire

To prevent me from looking at Heaven ?

She carries into her the original sin

Am I a felon for desiring her ?

She, who was thought to be a loose woman, a slut

Suddenly seems to be carrying the human kind's cross

O Our Lady !

Oh ! Let me just once

Push the gate of Esmeralda's garden

Beautiful

In spite of her large black eyes that spellbind you

Would the young lady still be a maid ?

When her movements make me see bells and whistles

Below her underskirt, rainbow-coloured

Sweetheart, let me be unfaithful to you

Before I lead you to the altar

Which man could deflect his gaze from her

Otherwise he would turn into a statue of salt ?

O, Fleur-de-Lys,

I'm not a faithful man

I'll pick the love flower of Esmeralda

I looked under her gipsy dress

Why should I still pray Our Lady now ?

Who is the one who'll throw the first stone at her ?

This one doesn't deserve to be on Earth.

O Lucifer !

Oh ! Let me just once

Slide my fingers in Esmeralda's hair

Esmeralda
