German is a hard language to learn. If you have any questions, just ask. But I prefere german Frollo over english Frollo, while i prefere original Monsieur D'Arque over the german one. German is such a brutal language, totally fitting for a character like Frollo.

I found this as the English translation of the German lyrics. I’m sure it isn’t perfectly accurate, but it let’s us (who don’t speak German) understand it better 😊 Beata Maria You know me as a just man Of my strength of virtue I am proud Beata Maria The sinners I despise I'm made of other, better wood (Germ. exp.) But tell me, Maria, Must I still see her dancing Where her wild eye charms me I feel her, I see her Her long black hair waves A drunkenness which bewitches and touches me This fire From Hell Burns in my body Free my soul From this devilish woman I am not guilty I am still pure It's the gypsy girl the witch, [her fault] alone I am not guilty It's God's Plan The devil is so much Stronger than a man Protect me, Maria Don't let the witch be victorious Forgive the sin that I succumbed to her Destroy Esmeralda And let her scream in hell-agonies If she does not wish to be mine alone (Guard :"Judge Frollo, the gypsy has escaped." Frollo:"What?" Guard: "She's not in the Cathedral; she's gone." Frollo:"But how? - I ... Never mind... Get out! I'll find her, even if I have to burn down all of Paris!") This fire From Hell Gypsy be glad You can choose me yet Otherwise you will burn Lord, have mercy on her Lord, have mercy on me She will be mine or she will burn! lyricstranslate.com

@@teakosanovic1906 this is rather accurate.

The fun thing about the German version is, they keep all the pride sin elements of the original, but dial the wrath sin parts to 11. So, Frollo doesn't want her to "taste the fires of Hell", but instead to "scream out from the eternal torments of Hell". Also he doesn't threat to burn her, but to set her ablaze. It's little things like that, the vocabulary is just a lot more brutal and visceral.

@@teakosanovic1906 yeah its mostly accurate but some detailed wordings are difficult to translate into english. "other better wood "is correct for the wording, but "better wood" in this case is a synonym for "better stuff". Hes made of better stuff (a greater person) then all the poor sinners (in his eyes) "verdirb" is not the same as"destroy". It should be something like "ruin Esmeralda" As in Psychologically corrubting her mind in a very destructiv way. "you can choose me yet" could be replaced with "you can still choose me". As in, he gives her a last "chance" to do the "proper" thing and become his. And as @cwg9780 mentioned. The "Burn" parts in the last two blocks are way more sinister. Its more like setting her ablaze and leting her burn brightly"

Thank you
