它使我心熱如火,而卻羞于啟齒
沒有上帝的庇護,我只剩下欲火如焚的軀體
The sin of Eve she has in her I know so well
For want of her I know I'd give my soul to sell
Belle, this gypsy girl is there a soul beneath her skin
And dies she bear the cross of all our human sin
Oh Notre-Dame please let me go beyond god's law
Open the door of love inside Esmeralda
我深諳她內心那夏娃的罪惡
為了得到她,我愿出賣我的靈魂
美女,這吉普賽女郎是否有人性
死時背負人類所有罪惡的十字架
圣母呀!請讓我超越上帝律令
敲開艾絲美拉達內心的愛情之門
Belle, even though her eyes seem to lead us to hell
She may be more pure more pure than the words can tell
But when she dances feelings 買粉絲e no man can quell
Beneath her rainbow 買粉絲loured dress there burns the well
美女,盡管有誘人下地獄的媚眼
她可能純潔,純潔得難以言喻
但當她翩翩起舞,無人能抗拒誘惑
她霓裳之下那熱情如火的身材
My promised one please let me one time be untrue
Before in front of god and man I marry you
Who'd be the man who'd turn from her to save his soul
To be with her I'd let the devil take me whole
Oh, Fleur-De-Lys I am a man who knows no love
I go to open up the rose Esmeralda
我承諾的愛人,請讓我不貞一回
在我尚未對上帝宣誓娶你之前
有哪位男人能抗拒她的魅力,挽救自己的靈魂
為了與她廝守,我寧愿全身受控于魔鬼
百合呀!我是不懂愛情的人【注】
我要去打開艾絲美拉達的愛情花朵
She dances naked in my soul and sleep won't 買粉絲e
And it's no use to pray this prayers to Notre Dame
Tell, who'd be the first to raise his hand and throw a stone
I'd hang him high and laugh to see him die alone
Oh Lucifer, please let me go beyond god's law
And run my fingers through her hair Esmeralda
妄想著她赤裸起舞使我徹夜難眠
向圣母瑪利亞祈禱也是徒然
告知我誰將首先舉手投石問路
我將把他高高吊起,笑著看他孤獨歸西
撒旦呀!請讓我超越上帝律令
撫摸艾絲美拉達的秀發吧
【注】Fleur-De-Lys :故事人物之一,‘百合’,她是貴族人家的女兒,侍衛隊隊長‘腓比斯’的未婚妻。
這首歌,原曲名是Belle Is The Only Word,美女是唯一的詞。由于是幾個人物分唱,所以內容有點脫節;第1和2段是Quasimodo唱的,他呼叫的是撒旦,第3和4段是Frollo唱的,Frollo 是神父,所以他呼叫圣母瑪利亞,第5和6段是 Phoebus 唱的,而他是向未婚妻呼吁。最后一段是合唱。
感覺rap歌曲是最難翻譯的因為典故縮寫多并且整體非常長。。。但是內容沒啥難理解的。這首歌大概就說他從小生長在貧民窟做了很多不好的事兒內心不安渴望上帝眷顧和兄弟友誼長存沒有戰爭人類和平等等等等。
