Frollo:
The world is cruel, the world is wicked
It's I alone who you can trust in this whole city
I am your only friend
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
I who look upon you without fear
How can I protect you, boy, unless you always stay in here
Alway in here?
Remeber what I've taught you, Quazimodo
| Frollo | Quasimodo |
| You are deformed | I am deformed |
| And you are ugly | And I am ugly |
| And these are crimes | |
| for which the world | |
| shows little pity | |
| You do not comprehend | You are my one defender |
| Out there they'll revile you | |
| as a monster | I am a monster |
| Out there they will hate | |
| and scorn and jeer | Only a monster |
| Why invite their calumny | |
| and consternation? | |
| Stay in here | |
| Be faithful to me | I'm faithful |
| Grateful to me | I'm grateful |
| Do as I say | |
| Obey | |
| and stay in here |
I'll stay in here |
