Être prêtre et aimer une femme [English translation]

[Frollo]:

I was a happy man before I met you

I had repressed everything in the depths of my being

I kept down all that power of sex and I never let go

I only had two mistresses, religion and science

Oh! Being a priest and loving a woman

Loving her with all the fury of his soul!

I was unshakeable, against all odds

Tall and proud as a cathedral tower

Then you came, like a worm, and gnawed me

And awaken inside me the fire of an old volcano

Oh! Being a priest and loving a woman

Loving her with all the fury of his soul!

I lived my life away from women, flagellated in my flesh

And in the heart of the night I saw the lightning flare

Distracted from my prayer, I opened my window

The day had just begun, and you were standing there

Oh! Being a priest and loving a woman

Loving her, yes, loving her, with all the fury of his soul!

Oh! Being a priest and loving a woman

Caress me with one hand, torture me with the other

Make me pay for my sin

Just lead me on to hell, and I'll come after you

And it will be my paradise

Oh! Being a priest and loving a woman

Loving her, yes, loving her, with all the fury of his soul!

Oh! Being a priest and loving a woman

A woman
