How can I still get goosebumps every time the three of them join in the final verse. This is one of the most magnificent musical creations of all time.
Literally breathtaking. Can’t breathe when Fiori sings. Also… the lyrics are creepy and sad but that’s also just what’s so great about this song. Something moving in the way they show their crooked love.

I've cried badly when I read 'Notre Dame de Paris' for the first time! My dearest Quasimodo, you will be forever one of my favourite characters with your unique soul!
Me too I watched it again and again... today too. The wording (in French) is so beautiful, correctly reflecting the feelings of the characters and so well rhymed... Beautiful work. All my respect and admiration.
The way how Frollo stands on his knee gets me every damn time I decide to rewatch this particular piece. His part is an absolute banger here both acting and voice. How he watches her first with sympathy and some sort of gentleness, but soon after its replaced with a clear feeling that Frollo is doomed (just listen to guitar parts during his part which are leitmotifs of destiny and fate)
Belle C'est un mot qu'on dirait inventé pour elle Quand elle danse et qu'elle met son corps à jour, tel Un oiseau qui étend ses ailes pour s'envoler Alors je sens l'enfer s'ouvrir sous mes pieds J'ai posé mes yeux sous sa robe de gitane A quoi me sert encore de prier Notre-Dame? Quel Est celui qui lui jettera la première pierre? Celui-là ne mérite pas d'être sur terre Ô Lucifer! Oh! Laisse-moi rien qu'une fois Glisser mes doigts dans les cheveux d'Esmeralda Belle Est-ce le diable qui s'est incarné en elle Pour détourner mes yeux du Dieu éternel? Qui a mis dans mon être ce désir charnel Pour m'empêcher de regarder vers le Ciel? Elle porte en elle le péché originel La désirer fait-il de moi un criminel? Celle Qu'on prenait pour une fille de joie, une fille de rien Semble soudain porter la croix du genre humain Ô Notre-Dame! Oh! laisse-moi rien qu'une fois Pousser la porte du jardin d'Esmeralda Belle Malgré ses grands yeux noirs qui vous ensorcellent La demoiselle serait-elle encore pucelle? Quand ses mouvements me font voir monts et merveilles Sous son jupon aux couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel Ma dulcinée laissez-moi vous être infidèle Avant de vous avoir mené jusqu'à l'autel Quel Est l'homme qui détournerait son regard d'elle Sous peine d'être changé en statue de sel Ô Fleur-de-Lys Je ne suis pas homme de foi J'irai cueillir la fleur d'amour d'Esmeralda Les trois J'ai posé mes yeux sous sa robe de gitane À quoi me sert encore de prier Notre-Dame Quel Est celui qui lui jettera la première pierre Celui-là ne mérite pas d'être sur terre Ô Lucifer! Oh! laisse-moi rien qu'une fois Glisser mes doigts dans les cheveux d'Esmeralda Esmeralda
It makes me sorry to see that the only one who had any innocence in his love was Quasimodo, and he never had any chance to begin with. While the other two think of her body and how to use her , the only thing Quasimodo wants to do is ''run his fingers through Esmeralda's hair''
Riiight? He is so much like one of those homeless children who are shown a bit of love and then all that they can think about is how to give that love back!
I finished reading the novel few days ago. My heart is still aching from the tragedy of it all. I tear up every time I think about Esmeralda and her mother, and Quasimodo clinging onto the corpse of his love like a loyal dog, for eternity. Pure beauty. The melody of this song is exactly how reading the novel feels.
We can clearly see that Quasimodo was the only real one in this. Frollo was a dirty old man obsessed with her. Phoebus was a womanizer who was hanging out with two girls at the same time. But despite being the "monster", Quasimodo truly loved Esmeralda, not only for her body, but for her soul. After all, Esmeralda was the only one who showed him, a spark of light he had ever known before Q.Q
@@alparslanbalci6303 Yes, you're right. To first comment - in the book Quasimodo's love wasn't so pure, Frollo dreamed about the world in which he wasn't a priest and Phoebus... he's the same.
I like how in the end they all express the same surrender to carnal desire, but its actually the exact words Quasimodo said at the end of the verse. It's like he was the first who, unclouded by ideas of God and sin or of pleasure and infidelity, sang about the consuming fire of his love for Esmeralda herself. It's like his love for her was the purest or maybe the most obsessed of the 3 and that's why he was the most tragic one
All of them sound amazing with their own vocal qualities but Garou takes the cake! What a mesmerising performance with his rough voice! So miserable yet so beautiful!!!
@@toottoot3410 I think for musical it likely has something to do with most of them being comedies, which kinda ruin the potential of musicals when used in a serious setting
@@akreondorplasy7782 That's not even remotely true. Assassins, Les Mis, Titanic, Jekyll and Hyde, Notre Dame de Paris, etc. Also what's wrong with comedies?
@@toottoot3410 Generally when people think about musicals, they think about Highschool musical and nothing else there's nothing wrong with comedies, but personally I'm not much of a fan of them
This musical literally changed my life, and I don’t say that lightly. I haven’t been the same since I discovered it two months ago. I’ve experienced more emotions in these past two months than I had my entire life before this :) Thank you, Luc Plamondon, Richard Cocciante, Bruno Pelletier, Daniel Lavoie, Garou, Luck Mervil, Patrick Fiori, Julie Zenatti, Helene Segara, and finally, all the ‘nameless’ dancers and acrobats involved in creating this masterpiece. At this point, I am simply resigned to the fact that I will probably never get to experience something as intense as what this musical evoked in me as a result of art/media/music/theatre (or perhaps as a result of ANYTHING) again. Forever grateful for having experienced this nonetheless. I will keep coming back to this “just to feel something” forever, until the day my heart ceases to beat. Even my therapist can’t find an explanation for what this musical has done to me…💀
It's amazing, isn't it? The masterful combination of many different instruments and beautiful voices create a marvelous experience. One of my favourite pieces of music, ever.
Do not forget, in the thanks, Victor Hugo, who wrote the novel "Notre Dame de Paris" from which was largely inspired this musical. (Little story: this novel, released in 1831, had such a success, that this cathedral which was in pitiful state was finally restored, restoration carried out by the very controversial (but in its brilliant way) Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.)
@@mariembalo3076même si je sais l'histoire, lire ce que tu as écrit me fait me rendre compte tout ce que l'on doit à Victor Hugo. je ne suis pas croyante mais, je me rappellerais toujours le sentiment que j'ai ressenti à l'intérieur de Notre-Dame de Paris. un sentiment indescriptible. moi qui ne croit pas en l'église, ce jour-là j'ai vu ce que est la grandeur et la puissance. je ne sais pas comment exprimer autrement ce que j'ai ressentis
@@lordofthemfl9899 actually I had studied French a long time ago at school but I didn't like it then But now I do ,just need to finish some important things before starting from 0
J'ai commencé à écouter cette chanson à 5 ans, sur un CD à mes parents que je leur avait piqué en cachette. J'ai dix sept ans aujourd'hui, et j'adore toujours autant cette chanson. Et en grandissant, je me suis rendu compte à quel point cette chanson est merveilleuse, et bercé ton âme quand tu veux bien l'écouter. Et leur charisme! Il y a une telle harmonie dans leurs voix, leur présence scénique et leur attitude ! Tout, absolument tout est parfait
Maybe it's because of my terrible ears and headphones, but at the end, when they're singing together, I love how certain lines are emphasized by characters. Like, they all sing: What's the point in praying to Notre-Dame? But it's Quasimodo's voice that's the loudest. They all sing: They're the ones that don't deserve to live on Earth. The other two are louder on "deserve to live" whereas Quasimodo's loudest on "Live on Earth." Again, probably reading too much into it, but I love how they can say the same words but have different meanings.
They did such a great performance at the time, that every day since the day they stopped performing the world is sobbing missing it. Magnificent voices but also great feeling of their characters and great cast for all characters physically, from the vocal point of view and the role play… No other version did it even close that good. Let’s face it.
obviously they're all amazing and absolutely slay in their own respects (and my favorite singer in the whole musical is actually bruno pelletier lmao), but can we TALK about daniel lavoie (the second man)???? like, I don't know what it is but his voice is just fucking captivating. and those bottom harmonies at the end, they're so pleasing, sir- just gOD
C'est notre culture. Notre civilisation. L'occident. Notre Dame de Paris cathédrale. Bâtie en 653. La chrétienté avait conçu un hospice pour les miséreux sur le parvis de la cathédrale. A la place il y a toujours l'Hôtel Dieu hôpital des pauvres. Notre civilisation est fondée sur l'accueil des autres, l'accueil des réprouvés , d'où qu'ils viennent. Tout ça c'est bien beau sur le papier. En réalité, c'est une grande source d'emmerdes. Le coeur de l'Europe ouvert à la barbarie
Composed by Italian / French singer Riccardo (Richard) Cocciante). Just watched him in a Christmas concert from Vienna with Placido Domingo, Helmut Lotti and Sarah Brightman. The concert was the same year he composed this musical. He seems like such a nice person.
Это очень сильно!Берет за душу!Нет слов!Лучшая постановка Гюго которую я видел! This is very strong!It touches the heart!No words!The best production of Hugo I've ever seen!
C'est extraordinaire à quel point les paroles et l'interprétation de cette chanson sont juste parfait en tout cas ça fait rayonner la France à travers le monde surtout pour les Russes ils adorent cette chanson c'est même incroyable à tel point ils sont focus
I speak portuguese and I love all the latin languages sisters (I speak spanish and french, but not italian) And I can truly say french is the most beautifull of all! Votre chansons sont magnifiques et le son des mots est unique et gracieux
Their voices are really beautiful 💕 this is a very talented crew absolutely amazing👏and the performances on stage is simply awesome, the drama 🎭 is breath taking.
La chanson est si incomparable, et leurs voix sont si fières ; profondes et libres qu'elles coulent directement des âmes et des cœurs - elles chantent un amour réel, fort, grand et vrai, auquel personne ne peut jamais interférer pour quoi que ce soit!!!
Não me canso e não enjôo de ouvir esses três, essa linda interpretação de Belle. Só lamento não ter assistido ao musical "Notre Dame de Paris." A voz de Garou é maravilhosa! Os olhos de Garou são maravilhosos. Aff, Deus, os três são maravilhosos! Amo!!!
Quelle sensation,quel amour dégage ces artistes dans cette version.c'est vraiment la meilleure époque et maleureusement nous sommes dans la fausse époque!!!!!
The best thing in the world is this musical.even the Galaxy. Of the universe. The person who got the chance to watch it live has taken every chance in this life. Also, the most impressive part of the musical is the part where it is "a boire", that is, the beginning of this video. The Belle part begins when Quasimodo is turned, trapped in chains. Artist Garou, meanwhile, has failed to make even the Quasimodo character ugly.
my budgie always loved this song. now that she's gone, everytime I remember this song, it throws me back to when she was chirping to this song. fly high buddy 💔

There are no words to describe how good those lyrics are!!
Прослушал 2023 год. Хорошо, конечно, но не то. А вот эта запись это лучшее. Голоса сильные, красивые. Пьер Гаран, Даниель Лавуа, Патрик Фьори, вот лучшие голоса. А тогда они были еще и молодые. Слушаешь и наслаждаешься
