The Bells of Notre Dame is a song from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is the opening song for the movie and is sung by Clopin, judge Claude Frollo and the Archdeacon. The song tells the story of how Quasimodo was claimed by Frollo.

[edit] Lyrics

Morning in Paris the city awakes, to the bells of Notre Dame. The fishermen fishes, the bakerman bakes, to the bells of Notre Dame.

To the big bells as loud as the thunder, to the little bells soft as a psalm, and some say the soul of the city's the toll of the bells. The bells of Notre Dame.

Dark was the night when our tale was begun, on the docks near Notre Dame. Four frightened gypsies slid silently under the docks near Notre Dame.

But a trap had been laid for the gypsies and they gazed up in fear and alarm at a figure whose clutches were iron as much as the bells. The bells of Notre Dame.

Kyrie eleison

Judge Claude Frollo longed purge the world of vice and sin, Kyrie elison and he saw corruption everywhere except within.

Dies irae! Dies irae! Dies illa! Dies illa! Solvet saeclum in favilla!

Quando tremor est futurus! Quando judex est venturus! Quando tremor est futurus! Dies irae!

Solvet saeclum in favilla! Dies irae! Dies irae!

See there the innocent blood you have spilt on the steps of Notre Dame. Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt on the steps of Notre Dame.

You can lie to yourself and your minions, you can lie that you haven't a qualm, but you never can run nor hide what you've done from the eyes. The very eyes of Notre Dame.

Kyrie eleison

And for one time in his life of power and control, Kyrie eleison Frollo felt a twinge of fear for his immortal soul.

Just so he's kept locked away where noone else can see. Even this foul creature may yet prove one day to be of use to me.

Now here is a riddle to guess if you can, sing the bells of Notre Dame, who is the monster and who is the man?

Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells! Bells of Notre Dame!
