Être prêtre et aimer une femme (English) - I'm a priest

[@Nejidabest]

"Just lead me to Hell, and I'll deny my Christ For Hell with you is paradise" OoooohMyGod.....those lines KILLS ! exactly the words of a Priest that struggle with lust. I Love Daniel Lavoie! I Love Frollo!

[@lajoiedelavoie1319]

Daniel Lavoie is from Manitoba. Primary school in English, French at home. A true bilingual.

[@LadyQGinny]

"I love, with a love that destroys my world..." so true, Frollo. I pity him. I feel the same right now...

[@mitchmatt6002]

what a beautiful timbre in his voice!

[@art10nik]

Yeah! This one sounds so much better to me in English, in clear voice, without all that splitting and rattling on the high notes, characteristic of Daniel's French performance. I haven't even expected to begin loving his voice that much.

[@bydariana5572]

@@art10nik yes in french is amazing Daniel

"I dream I'm inside you and I wake up on fire"

[@waspix]

it is surprising how this song had touched the essence of my soul on many different levels for so many years. it makes you realize what aesthetic expression actually is and can be more powerful than any other field -human attempts- of understanding and describing -such as science, philosophy,etc.- what it is to be human.thank you so much for the video and translation.

[@katherinel.davoust5231]

This song and video is very emotional. It has a lot of emotion just like the song Tu vas me detruire(Your Love Will kill Me )

[@LadyQGinny]

"Heal me with your touch - or hurt me once again Make me suffer for my sin Just lead me on to Hell, and I'll deny my Christ For Hell, with you, is Paradise..." It's the best part ever. It reminds me of this girl that I love so much and she doesn't know... I feel very close to Frollo right now. -except I wouldn't kill anyone, or rape them! Beautiful lyrics, also, and this is unusual in the english translation of the musical, which is meanly bad.

[@CJCroen1393]

A lot of adaptations of Hunchback manage to achieve beautifully terrifying poetry with Frollo's desires. Case in point: "Then tell me, Maria Why I see her dancing there Why her smouldering eyes still scorch my soul I feel her, I see her The sun caught in her raven hair Is blazing in me out of all control!"

[@The-Musical-Lover]

I find the translation of this song very clumsy, but this part is amazing.

[@acucarcandy]

I relate so much to your comment, thank you for existing, fella

[@Tangetastic]

"For a hell with you is paridise..."

[@iluvcheezitsheyhey]

This and Tu vas me detruire are the songs that really worked with the English lyrics. There's so much body in them! Thanks for posting!!

[@Starcaoe]

This is one of the best songs in English, this and "Belle"

[@zeyzey1285]

2021 anyone?

[@hanariix]

this is truly heartbreaking

[@disneyvillainrocket1]

I could imagine if Imhotep from the mummy movies with Brendan Fraser sang this song

[@УМдаРАЗУМ]

I was a happy man, until I saw your face. I hid my need away in some dark secret place. All that power of sex, I kept down and I never let go. I had only one design the truth of god and man to know. Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl. I love with a love that destroys my world. Against the wind and the tide I could stand any shock. Straight and proud like Notre Dame upon her rock. Then you've stolen my heart and awakened desire I dream I'm inside you, and I wake up on fire Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl. I love with a love that destroys my world. I let no woman near I suffered for God's care. In the heart of the night I saw the lightning flare. I looked out from my cell, distracted from my prayer. The day had just begun and you were standing there. Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl. I love, yes I love; with a love that destroys my world. Oh I'm a priest and I love this girl. Heal me with your touch or hurt me once again. Make me suffer for my sin. Just lead me unto hell and I'll deny my Christ. For hell with you is paradise. Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl. I love, yes I love; with a love that destroys my world. Oh I'm a priest and I love this girl. This girl.

[@becauseican01]

What's his first language? Because it seems to me like he is quite fluent in both English and French

[@zheruiwu1540]

he is un quebeqois, so you know.

❤

[@desigb]

I want to kiss him!

[@Afrolulu]

omg I love that song but Frollo was so cruel

[@LolitaLexi]

@MiraclesfromHeaven Someone else thinks so too! Don't you just want to kiss him though...it's ok Daniel Lavoie!

[@or10125]

Read Pg 329 chapter:Lasciate ogru speranza(abandon all hope). I bet you will cry. this song is based on that chapter.Do read it or else something bad will happen to you in LOVE. :o :o

[@RAN20097]

Yeah he was starve for love for a woman love.

[@Moumantaiii]

I read some place that his first language is English, but he learned French very soon after, and he mainly speaks that now. I could be wrong, though. =/

[@K_Rock777]

beautiful yay! i think i like this song in english the best...weird huh?

[@JulieWinchester]

@Cossynieur I didn't know that^^ Thanks for your answer. Do you have the videos of the second one or do you know where I can watch it ?

[@Durzarina]

I despise the English but this song is amazing :P

[@JulieWinchester]

Isn't Phoebus supposed to come before this one ?

[@JulieWinchester]

@Cossynieur OK, thanks for the information^^

[@RAN20097]

I wonder what would happen if she did feel in love with Frollo.

[@azzurralopresti5746]

I think this versione is better than italian one "sono un prete innamorato" and the French one "etre pretre et amer une femme"

[@BellatrixL23]

me too .___.
