hellfire\the hunchback of notre dame

按:我喜歡<鐘樓怪人>這個作品(哦...好吧,除了原作----因為Hugo實在太博學了,原作好囉唆...),是從法語音樂劇開始,後來因著年幼的女兒之故,看了迪士尼的卡通版。卡通版改動故事太多(據說法國人就是不爽一個悲劇被改成適合孩子觀看的喜劇結局才創作音樂劇版的),但這首弗侯洛在信仰與誘惑之間擺盪、煎熬的「hellfire」,是我認為拿來和音樂劇版的「致命狂戀」相較也毫不遜色的一首歌。謹在此推薦。


hellfire\the hunchback of notre dame

Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud

Et tibit Pater (And to you, Father)

Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd

Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)

Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul

Cogitatione (In thought)

I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control

Verbo et opere (In word and deed)

Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin

It's not my fault
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
I'm not to blame
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
It is the gypsy girl
The witch who sent this flame

Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)
It's not my fault
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
If in God's plan
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
He made the devil so much
Stronger than a man

Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

Protect me, Maria
Don't let this siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone
Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
God have mercy on her
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
God have mercy on me
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
But she will be mine
Or she will burn!
