L'enfant trouvé [English translation]

[Quasimodo]:

You who took me in

Adopted me and nourished me

The found child

The child rejected

By those who were ashamed

To have brought into the world

A monster

You, who watched me grow

You, who watched me suffer

You, who protected me

From the entire world

You did me the honor

of naming me the ringer

Of bells

You taught me to speak

To read and write

But I can't read

Your deepest thoughts

I belong to you

With all of my being

Like never a dog

Loved its master

I belong to you

With all of my being

Like never a dog

Loved its master
