The Hunchback of Notre-Dame/ Memory

[Esmeralda:]

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight

The withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

All alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beloved then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

Every light seems to be a fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street flutters

And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I must not give in

When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too

And the new day will begin

Burnt out of the smoky days

The stale, cold smell of morning

A light dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

Touch me...

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with my memory

Of my days in the sun

If you help me

You'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun...
