Choi Sung-hee, a.k.a. Bada, Sings Ave Maria Païen


Above, the Catholic former pop singer in her rôle as "the beautiful gypsy Esméralda" from the Korean production of the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. A synopsis of the scene: "In spite of her initial fear of this strange, deformed man, Esméralda is touched by his gentleness and finds herself warming towards Quasimodo. Left alone, Esméralda, who has never prayed before, prays to the Virgin Mary."

The trilingual lyrics of Pagan Ave Maria:
    아베마리아 용서하소서
    Ave Maria, pardonne-moi
    Ave Maria, please pardon me
    당신 앞에 서 있는 저를
    Si devant toi, je me tiens debout
    If in your house I come stealing
    아베마리아 그 앞에 무릎 꿇어본 적도 없는
    Ave Maria, moi qui ne sais pas me mettre à genoux
    Ave Maria, no one ever taught me about kneeling
    아베마리아 저를 지켜주소서
    Ave Maria, protège-moi
    Ave Maria, please will you keep me
    이 세상에 가득한 죄악과
    De la misère, du mal et des fous
    From this misery madness and fools
    불행들로부터
    Qui règnent sur la terre
    Who rule this evil world

    아베마리아 비록 서로 고향은 달라도
    Ave Maria, des étrangers il en vient de partout
    Ave Maria, I'm a stranger and you're my last recourse
    아베마리아 모두 형제듯
    Ave Maria, ecoute-moi
    Ave Maria, please can't you hear me
    우리 가로막는 이 장벽을
    Fais tomber les barrières entre nous
    Please take down all these walls between us
    허물어주소서
    Qui sommes tous des frères
    We all should be as one

    아베마리아 저의 낮과 밤을 지켜 주소서
    Ave Maria, veille sur mes jours et sue mes nuits
    Ave Maria, please watch over my life night and day
    아베마리아 지켜주소서
    Ave Maria, Oh please protect me
    Ave Maria, protège-moi
    이 보잘 것 없는 사람 이 사람
    Veille sur mon amour et ma vie
    Please guard me and my love now I pray
    아베마리아
    Ave Maria
    Ave Maria
