[FROLLO]
Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud. (Et tibit Pater)
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd

Then tell me, Maria
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smoldering eyes still scorch my soul
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazen in me out of all control (Verbo et opere)

Like fire, hellfire!
This fire in my skin
This burning desire
Is turning me to sin!
It's not my fault! (Mea culpa)
I'm not to blame! (Mea culpa)
It is the gypsy girl
The witch who set this flame! (Mea maxima culpa)
It's not my fault! (Mea culpa)
If in God's plan, (Mea culpa)
He made the devil so much
Stronger than the man! (Mea maxima culpa)

Protect me, Maria!
Don't let this 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!

Hellfire, dark fire!
Now gypsy, it's your turn!
Choose me or your pyre!
Be mine or you will burn!

God have mercy on her (Kyrie Eleison)
God have mercy on me (Kyrie Eleison)
But she will be mine or she will (Kyrie Eleison)
Burn!!!!
