Hellfire is a song from the movie 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' (1996), sung by the film's main antagonist Judge Claude Frollo (voiced by Tony Jay). Along with the original English-language version, I reccommend the Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Hebrew, French, German, Danish, and Italian-language versions.
Lyrics:
Frollo: "Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd"
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)
Frollo: "Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul"
Cogitatione (In thought)
Frollo: "I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control"
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)
Frollo: "Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning desire
Is turning me to sin
It's not my fault"
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
Frollo: "I'm not to blame"
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
Frollo: "It is the gypsy girl
The witch who set this flame"
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)
Frollo: "It's not my fault"
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
Frollo: "If in God's plan"
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
Frollo: "He made the Devil so much
Stronger than a man"
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)
Frollo: "Protect me, Maria!
Don't let the siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire
Sear my flesh and bone!
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of Hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone"
Captain of the Guard (speaking): "Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped."
Frollo: "What?!"
Captain of the Guard: "She's nowhere in the cathedral. She's gone."
Frollo (speaking): "But how, I--? Never mind! Get out, you idiot! I'll find her. I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris!"
Frollo (singing): "Hellfire
Dark fire
Now, gypsy, it's your turn!
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will burn!"
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Frollo: "God have mercy on her"
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Frollo: "God have mercy on me"
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Frollo: "But she will be mine
Or she will burn!"
