[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
Et tibi Pater
Beata Maria, you know I m so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Qui---a peccavi nimis
Then tell me, Maria, why I see her dancing there
Why her smold ring eyes still scorch my soul
Co--gitation--e
I feel her, I see her,
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
Verbo et opere
[Chorus]
Like fire, hellfire, this fire in my skin
This burning desire is turning me to sin
[Verse 2]
It s not my fault I m not to blame
Mea culpa
It is the gypsy girl, the witch
Mea culpa
Who sent this flame It s not my fault
Me--a Max---ima culpa
If in God s plan he made the devil
Mea culpa Mea culpa
So much stronger than a man
Me---a maxima culpa
Protect me, Maria, don t let this siren cast her spell
Don t let her fire seer my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda and let her taste the fires of hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone
[Chorus]
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 Elei------son
God have mercy on me
Kyrie Elei------son
But she will be mine or she will
Kyrie Elei-----son
Burn!
