La bella e la bestia

[Belle]
Little town it's a quiet village.
Everyday like the one before.
Little town full of little people, waking up to say.
[Man #1]
Bonjour!
[Man #2]
Bonjour!
[Woman #1]
Bonjour!
[Man #3]
Bonjour!
[Man #4]
Bonjour!
[Belle]
There goes the baker with his tray like always.
The same old bread and rolls to sell.
Every morning just the same since the morning that we came,
To this poor provential town.
[Baker]
Good Morning Belle!
[Belle]
G'morning Monsier!
[Baker]
Where you off to?
[Belle]
The book shop...
I just finished the most wonderful story,
About a beanstalk and an ogor and an...
[Baker]
That's nice. Marie! The bagettes! Hurry up!
[Group of Women]
Look there she goes that girl is strange no question.
Dazed and distracted can't you tell?
[Woman #1]
Never part of any crowd.
[Man #3]
Cuz her heads up on some cloud.
[Villagers]
No denying she's a funny girl that Belle.
[Man #1]
Bonjour!
[Belle]
Good day!
[Man #1]
How is your family?
[Woman #1]
Bonjour!
[Man #4]
Good day!
[Woman #1]
How is your wife?
[Woman #2]
I need six eggs!
[Man #2]
That's too expensive.
[Belle]
There must be more than this provential life.
[Book Shop Clerk]
Ah! Belle!
[Belle]
Good Morning! I've come to return the book I've borrowed!
[Book Shop Clerk]
Finished already?
[Belle]
Oh I couldn't put it down. Got anything new?
[Book Shop Clerk]
(Ha ha) Not since yesterday!
[Belle]
That's alright. I'll borrow...this one!
[Book Shop Clerk]
That one?! But you've read it twice!
[Belle]
Well it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!
[Book Shop Clerk]
If you like it all that much, it's yours.
[Belle]
But sir!
[Book Shop Clerk]
I insist.
[Belle]
Well thank you! Thank you very much!
[Group Of Men]
Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar. I wonder if she's feeling well.
[Group Of Women]
With a dreamy far off look.
[Group Of Men]
And her nose stuck in a book.
[Villigers]
What a puzzle to the rest of us, is Belle.
[Belle]
Oh! Isn't this amazing? It's my favorite because you'll see. Here's where she meets prince charming. But she won't discover that it's him till chapter three.
[Woman #3]
Now it's no wonder that her name means beauty, her looks have got no parallel.
[Man #1]
But behind that fair facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd. Very different from the rest of us...
[Villigers]
She's nothing like the rest of us. Yes different from the rest of us is Belle.
[Lafue]
Wow! You didn't miss a shot Gaston! Your the greatest hunter in the whole world.
[Gaston]
I know.
[Lafue]
No beast alive stands a chance against you. And no girl for that matter
[Gaston]
It's true Lafue. And I've got my sights set on the one.
[Lafue]
The inventors daughter?!
[Gaston]
She's the one! The lucky girl I'm going to marry!
[Lafue]
But shes...
[Gaston]
The most beautiful girl in town. That makes her the best! And don't I deserve the best!?
[Lafue]
Well of corse, I mean you do, I mean...
[Gaston]
Right from the moment when i met her, saw her, I said she's gorgeous and I vow...here in town there's only she, who is beautiful as me. So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle.
[Gaston Groupies]
Look there he goes, isn't he dreamy? Monsieur Gaston, oh he's so cute!
Be still my heart, I'm hardly breathing. He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute.
[Villagers talking]
[Belle]
There must be more than this provential life!
[Gaston]
Just watch I'm going to make Belle my wife!
[Villagers]
Look there she goes the girl that's strange but special. A most peculiar mademoiselle. It's a pity and a sin, she doesn't quite fit in.
But she really is a funny girl..
A beauty but a funny girl..
She really is a funny girl...
That Belle!!!

[Man #5]
Bonjour!

Is he gone? Can you imagine? He asked me to marry him.
Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless . . .

"Madame Gaston!"
Can't you just see it?
"Madame Gaston!"
His "little wife"
No sir! Not me!
I guarantee it
I want much more than this provincial life
I want adventure in the great wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell
And for once it might be grand
To have someone understand
I want so much more than they've got planned

Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with
the wrong man! No one says "no" to Gaston!
Heh heh. Darn right.
Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly Humiliated! Why, it's
more than I can bear.
More beer?
What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself
together.

Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're ev'ryone's favorite guy
Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why

No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on

No one's been like Gaston
A king pin like Gaston
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating
My what a guy, that Gaston

Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"
Gaston is the best
And the rest is all drips

No one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston
For there's no one as burly and brawny
As you see I've got biceps to spare
Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny
(That's right!)
And ev'ry last inch of me's covered with hair

No one hits like Gaston
Matches wits like Gaston
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston
I'm espcially good at expectorating
(Ptooey!)
Ten points for Gaston!

When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Ev'ry morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge

No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
I use antlers in all of my decorating
Say it again
Who's a man among men?
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down
And his name's G-A-S- T -
G-A-S-T - E -
G-A-S-T-O - oh!
Gaston

[Maurice:] Help! Someone help me!
[Tavern keeper:] Maurice?
[Maurice:] Please! Please, I need your help. He's got her - he's
got her locked in the dungeon!
[LeFou:] Who?
[Maurice:] Belle. We must go. N-not a minute to lose!
[Gaston:] Whoa! Slow down, Maurice. Who's got Belle locked in a
dungeon?
[Maurice:] A beast! A horrible, monstrous beast!
[Patron I:] Is it a big beast?
[Maurice:] Huge!
[Patron II:] With a long, ugly snout?
[Maurice:] Hideously ugly!
[Drinker III:] And sharp, cruel fangs?
[Maurice:] Yes! Yes! Will you help me?
[Gaston:] All right, old man. We'll help you out.
[Maurice:] You will? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!
[Tavern keeper:] Crazy old Maurice.
[Patron I:] He's always good for a laugh.
[Gaston:] Crazy old Maurice, hmmm?
Crazy old Maurice. Hmmm.

LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking
[Lefou:] A dangerous pastime
[Gaston:] I know
But that whacky old coot is Belle's father
And his sanity's only "so-so"
Now the wheels in my head have been turning
Since I looked at that loony, old man
See, I've promised myself I'd be married to Belle
And right now I'm evolving a plan

If I . . . {whisper}
[LeFou:] Yes?
[Gaston:] Then we . . . {whisper}
[LeFou:] No! Would she . . .
[Gaston:] {whisper} Guess!
[LeFou:] Now I get it!
[Both:] Let's go!

No one plots like Gaston
[Gaston:] Takes cheap shots like Gaston
[LeFou:] Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston
[Chorus:] So his marriage we soon'll be celebrating
My what a guy!
Gaston

[Lumiere:] Ma chere Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride
and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight.
And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a
chair as the dining room proudly presents - your
dinner!

Be our guest
Be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
hy, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
They can sing
They can dance
After all, Miss, this is France
And a dinner here is never second best
Go on, unfold your menu
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest
Oui, our guest
Be our guest

Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret
You're alone
And you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While the flatware's entertaining
We tell jokes
I do tricks
With my fellow candlesticks
[Mugs:] And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
[All:] Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be out guest
[Lumiere:] If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest
[All:] Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest

[Lumiere:] Life is so unnerving
For a servat who's not serving
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old days when we were useful
Suddenly those good old days are gone
Ten years we've been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
Most days we just lay around the castle
Flabby, fat and lazy
You walked in and oops-a-daisy!

[Mrs Potts:] It's a guest
It's a guest
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert
She'll want tea
And my dear that's fine with me
While the cups do their soft shoeing
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
I'll get warm
Piping hot
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed
We've got a lot to do
Is it one lump or two
For you, our guest?
[Chorus:] She's our guest
[Mrs Potts:] She's our guest
[Chorus:] She's our guest

Be our guest
Be our guest
Our command is your request
It's ten years since we had anybody here
And we're obsessed
With your meal
With your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you
We'll keep going

Course by course
One by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest
Be our guest
Be our guest
Please, be our guest

[Belle:] There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear
And so I'm sure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before

[Beast:] She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw
No it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before

[Belle:] New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?
True that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see

[Lumiere:] Well, who'd have thought?
[Mrs Potts:] Well, bless my soul
[Cogsworth:] Well, who'd have known?
[Mrs Potts:] Well, who indeed?
[Lumiere:] And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
[Mrs Potts:] It's so peculiar. Wait and see
[Lumiere and Cogsworth:] We'll wait and see
[All three:] A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
[Cogsworth:] You know, perhaps there's something there that wasn't
there before
[Mrs Potts:] There may be something there that wasn't there before

[Gaston:] The Beast will make off with your children.
[Mob:] {gasp}
[Gaston:] He'll come after them in the night.
[Belle:] No!
[Gaston:] We're not safe till his head is mounted on my wall! I
say we kill the Beast!
[Mob:] Kill him!

[Man I:] We're not safe until he's dead
[Man II:] He'll come stalking us at night
[Woman:] Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite
[Man III:] He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free
[Gaston:] So it's time to take some action, boys
It's time to follow me

Through the mist
Through the woods
Through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride
Say a prayer
Then we're there
At the drawbridge of a castle
And there's something truly terrible inside
It's a beast
He's got fangs
Razor sharp ones
Massive paws
Killer claws for the feast
Hear him roar
See him foam
But we're not coming home
'Til he's dead
Good and dead
Kill the Beast!

[Belle:] No! I won't let you do this!
[Gaston:] If you're not with us, you're against us!
Bring the old man!
[Maurice:] Get your hands off me!
[Gaston:] We can't have them running off to warn the creature.
[Belle:] Let us out!
[Gaston:] We'll rid the village of this Beast. Who's with me?
[Mob:] I am! I am! I am! )

Light your torch
Mount your horse
[Gaston:] Screw your courage to the sticking place
[Mob:] We're counting on Gaston to lead the way
Through a mist
Through a wood
Where within a haunted castle
Something's lurking that you don't see ev'ry day
It's a beast
One as tall as a mountain
We won't rest
'Til he's good and deceased
Sally forth
Tally ho
Grab your sword
Grab your bow
Praise the Lord and here we go!

[Gaston:] We'll lay siege to the castle and bring back his head!
[Belle:] I have to warn the Beast! This is all my fault! Oh, Papa,
what are we going to do?
[Maurice:] Now, now, we'll think of something.

[Mob:] We don't like
What we don't understand
In fact it scares us
And this monster is mysterious at least
Bring your guns
Bring your knives
Save your children and your wives
We'll save our village and our lives
We'll kill the Beast!

[Cogsworth:] I knew it! I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up.
[Lumiere:] Maybe it would have been better if she had never come at all.
Could it be?
[Mrs Potts:] Is it she?
[Lumiere:] Sacre Bleu! Invaders!
[Cogsworth:] Encroachers!
[Mrs Potts:] And they have the mirror!
[Cogsworth:] Warn the Master! If it's a fight they want, we'll be
ready for them! Who's with me?
[Gaston:] Take whatever booty you can find. But remember, the
Beast is mine!

[Objects:] Hearts ablaze
Banners high
We go marching into battle
Unafraid although the danger just increased
[Mob:] Raise the flag
Sing the song
Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong
Let's kill the Beast!

[Mrs Potts:] Pardon me, Master.
[Beast:] Leave me in peace.
[Mrs Potts:] But sir! The castle is under attack!

[Mob:] Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast

[Lumiere:] This isn't working!
[Featherduster:] Oh Lumiere, we must do something!
[Lumiere:] Wait, I know! )

[Mob:] Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!

[Mrs Potts:] What shall we do, Master?
[Beast:] It doesn't matter now. Just let them come.

[Mob:] Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

Tutto qui é un bel paesino,

ogni dì qui non cambia mai.

É così che la gente vive:

con semplicità...

Bonjour! (x5)

Ecco il fornaio con il suo vassoio,

Bonjour!

lo stesso pane venderà:

è dal giorno che arrivai

che non é cambiato mai,

Buongiorno!

ma che vita é questa qua?

(Dialogo tra Belle e il fornaio)

Quella ragazza é proprio originale,

con che aria sempre se ne va!

Lei non assomiglia a noi,

pensa sempre ai fatti suoi,

la sua bella testolina non é qua!

Bonjour!

Buondì!

E la famiglia?

Bonjour!

Salve!

Lei come sta?

Vorrei sei uova!

É troppo caro!

La vita mia di certo cambierà!

(Dialogo in libreria)

É una ragazza assai particolare,

lei legge sempre che virtù!

Chissà cosa sognerà?

Dove va neanche lo sa!

Certamente un'altra non ce n'é quaggiù!

Oh, io sto sognando,

è il momento che amo più, perché

lei si sta innamorando

e fra poco scoprirà che lui é il suo re!

Anche il suo nome esprime la dolcezza,

più dolce di un crême-caramel!

Ha una personalità

un po' strana in verità!

É diversa Belle da tutti noi...

Non é per niente come noi...

Non assomiglia affatto a noi...

...É BELLE!

(Dialogo di Gastône con LeTont)

L'ho detto subito dal primo istante:

"Non é possibile sbagliar!

Così belle non ce n'é!

É avvenente quanto me!

Sono certo la desidero sposar!"

É lui! Mio Dio! No, non tremare!

Monsieur Gastône é proprio chic!

Orsù cuor mio non impazzire!

Non c'é un maschio forte come lui!

(Cicaleggio paesani)

La vita deve darmi un po' di più!

Vedrai che la mia sposa sarai tu!

Ma guarda che ragazza stravagante,

così carine non ce n'é!

Ma la gente che c'é qua

vedrai non capirà

questa sua originalità,

lei é bizzarra e artistica,

insolita ed eccentrica,

É BELLE!

Bonjour (x5)

Madame Gastône, le obbedisco!

Madame Gastône, la sua metà!

E no, non io, lo garantisco:

la vita mia di certo cambierà!

Io voglio vivere di avventure

e lo vorrei sempre di più,

ma non c'é nessuno, ahimè,

che capisca il perché

questo é quello che vorrei per me!

Io sto soffrendo per te mio Gastône,

no, non buttarti più giù!

Tutti vorrebbero essere Gastône (Sí),

cerca di stare un po' su!

Nessuno in città é più stimato di te,

sei quello che ammiran di più!

Ogni ragazzo é ispirato da te,

perché il loro campione... SEI TU!!!

Il più furbo é Gastône!

Il più svelto é Gastône!

Il tuo collo é il più forte del mondo Gastône!

Non c'é un uomo in città un po' gagliardo...

paragonabile a te!

Chiedi a Tizio, a Caio, a Riccardo,

ti diranno che un ganzo più ganzo non c'é!

Il più grande é Gastône!

Prestigioso Gastône!

La fossetta sul mento più sexy Gastône!

Riesco a mettere tutti in soggezione!

Che vero uomo é Gastône!

Ehiehi! Ehilá! Ip-Ip! Urrá!

Gastône é il migliore di tutti si sa!

Quante botte Gastône!

Quant'é forte Gastône!

Nella rissa chi morde più forte é Gastône!

Non esiste qualcuno più duro!

I miei muscoli sembran scoppiar!

Il suo corpo é più saldo di un muro!

É vero! E su tutto il corpo di peli ne ho un mar!

Quando picchia Gastône,

accipicchia Gastône!

Nelle gare di sputi il più bravo é Gastône!

Sono proprio imbattibile a sputazzare!

Dieci punti a Gastône!

Per diventar grande anche 4 dozzine

di uova mangiavo ogni dì

e ora ne mangio anche 5 dozzine

e guardate che muscoli ho qui!

Come spara Gastône,

ma che mira Gastône!

Con che stile indossa le scarpe Gastône!

Di trofei casa mia devo tappezzare!

Che uomo sei... GASTÔNE!!!

RIPRESA

LeTont io sto proprio pensando,

è pericoloso... lo so,

ma quel vecchio é il padre di Belle

e normale non é neanche un po'!

C'é un'idea che mi sta ronzando

dall'istante in cui il vecchio era qua:

tu lo sai che io voglio sposare sua figlia

ed un piano in mente ho già!

(Se noi bzzzzz... e poi bzzzzz...)

Come imbroglia Gastône!

Che canaglia Gastône!

Tutto quello che vuole ingarbuglia Gastône!

Presto celebreremo il suo matrimonio!

Che uomo sei GASTÔNE!!!

Stia con noi, qui con noi,

si rilassi d'ora in poi,

leghi al collo il tovagliolo

poi faremo tutto noi!

Soupe du journe, antipasti,

noi viviamo per servir!

Provi il pollo, è stupendo!

Non mi crede? Chieda al piatto!

Vive l'amour! Vive la dance!

Dopotutto miss, c'est la France

e una cena qui da noi c'est fantastique!

Lei prenda il menù,

gli dia uno sguardo su,

poi stia con noi, si con noi,

qui con noi!

Che ragù, che sufflè,

torte e caramel flambé,

preparati e serviti con un grande cabaret!

Lei é sola, impaurita,

ma la tavola é imbandita!

Via la noia e la tristezza!

Viva la spensieratezza!

Le magie e i misteri

degli amici candelieri

che raffinatezza grazia e perfezion!

In alto i calici,

facciamo un brindisi

E stia con noi, poi vedrà,

soddisfatta se ne andrà!

Stia con noi, sì con noi, qui con noi!

Saltano i nervi anche al servo se non servi,

perché qui non c'é nessuno da servir...

ah i bei vecchi tempi di una volta,

era tutto un grande scintillar!

(Ohhh!) Quanti anni passati,

noi ci siamo arrugginiti

senza dimostrar la nostra abilità! (Ihahahuuu!)

Tutto il giorno a zonzo nel castello,

grassi, flosci e pigri,

ma con lei noi siamo fuori!

Oh mio Dio che farei?

Dalla gioia urlerei!

Ora il vino é già versato

e il tovagliolo accanto a lei!

Col dessert vorrà il tè!

Sì mia cara anche per me!

Se le tazze sono pronte bollirò in un istante!

Frizzerò, scotterò,

ma é una macchia quella o no!?

Lava là, che gran figura si fará!

Abbiamo un po' da far!

Lo deve inzuccherar!

Ma stia con noi, sì con noi, qui con noi! Stia con noi! (No amici basta!)

Son dieci anni che nessuno viene qui che ossession!

Ma vedrá, come qua,

tutto splendido sará!

Con le luci un po' attenuate

serviremo le portate!

Fino a che, dopo un po',

lei dirá: "Sto scoppiando!"

Ed allora canteremo con amor!

Per farla riposar é ora d'iniziar!

Ma stia con noi! Sí con noi! Stia con noi! STIA QUI CON NOI!

Qualcosa in lui si trasformò,

era sgarbato un po' volgare ora no:

è timido, piacevole,

non mi ero accorta che ora é incantevole.

Lo sguardo suo su me posò,

sfiorò la zampa ma paura non provò.

Son certo che, mi sono illuso:

lei non mi aveva mai guardato con quel viso.

Tu non sei l' ideale,

non ti avrei sognato accanto a me;

ma ora sei reale!

C'é qualcosa che non ho mai visto prima in te.

Ma guarda un po'! Che dir non so!

Di tutto ciò! Neanch'io però!

É proprio vero che l'amore tutto può!

Aspetta un poco e vedrai! Ti colpirà!

Quello che accade é una grande novità!

É una storia, sai, vera più che mai,

solo amici e poi uno dice un "noi", tutto cambia già.

É una realtà che spaventa un po',

una poesia piena di perché e di verità!

Ti sorprenderà come il sole ad est,

quando sale su e spalanca il blu dell'immensità!

Stessa melodia, nuova armonia,

semplice magia che ti cambierà, ti riscalderà!

Quando sembra che non succeda più,

ti riporta via, come la marea, la felicità!

Ti riporta via, come la marea, la felicità...
