Hi!
No long ago, I translated the song "I'll make a man out of you" from the movie "Mulan". Now I've translated a song from a different movie :
I've translated “Hellfire” from Disney's “the Hunchback of Notre-Dame”.
The translation was made from the english and French version of the song. (It's a loose translation.)
toki Inli pi kalama musi li lon ni:
Here's a link to the English version of the song:

sina sona e ni: mi pona mute. jan jaki ante li pona lili. You know I’m so much purer than The common, dirty crowd
jan Malija o toki tawa mi. Tell me, Maria
mi lukin tawa e musi tawa ona tan seme? - Why am I seeing her dancing there
oko ona li seli kin e kon mi tan seme? -Why her smold’ring eyes still scorch my soul
mi pilin e ona, mi lukin e ona - I can feel her, I can see her

jan Kipisi meli li pali e ni - It’s the gypsy girl who did this
Monsuta ni li pana e seli ni - This monster sent this flame
mi pakala ala tan ni: -I didn’t mess up (It’s not my fault)because of this:
lon insa wile pi jan lawa la - if in God’s plan
jan anpa li wawa mute. jan ali li wawa lili! -
the Devil is too strong, all men are week (he made the devil so much stronger than a man)
jan Malia o selo e mi! - Protect me, Maria
ona li wile e ni: kepeken e toki wawa tawa mi - She want’s to cast a spell on me (don't let this siren cast her spell)
selo e mi tan seli pi ma anpa - Protect me from the fires of hell
o pakala e jan Esimelalita - Destroy Esmeralda
ona li kama moku e seli pi ma anpa! Let her taste the fires of Hell!
ante la o pana e ona tawa mi, o pana tawa mi taso. Or else give her to me and me alone

jan Pilolo: seme? - Frollo: (speaking)What?
jan utala: ona li lon ala insa tomo pi nasin sewi. Guard: She’s nowhere in the cathedral.
jan utala: ona li weka. - She’s gone.
jan Pilolo: kepeken nasin seme? mi.. ike ala... o weka! Frollo: But how? I... Never mind. Get out!
mi kama jo e ona! ken la mi kama jo e ona kepeken nasin ni: mi seli e ali pi ma tomo Pali!
I’ll get her! I’ll get her if I have to burn down all of Paris !
seli suli! - Hellfire
seli pimeja o! - Dark fire
jan Kipisi o! tenpo ona li kama! - Gypsy, it’s your turn
o wile e mi! - Want me
ante la ona li - or else you
kama moli lon seli - will die in fire! (you will burn)
jan lawa o pana e pona tawa ona - God have mercy on her
o pana e pona tawa mi - Have mercy on me
taso, mi kama jo e ona - But she will be mine
ante la ona li kama seli! - Or she will burn!
(tenpo tenpo la mi toki e nimi Inli kin lon insa () ni.)
(from time to time I've put the real english lyrics in parenthesis)
kalama musi ni li pimeja mute. taso ona li pona tawa mi tan ni.
pona ala pona? ante e ona li kepeken tenpo mute. mi pilin e ni: ona li jo e nimi pona ala.
sina lukin e nimi pona ala la toki e ona tawa mi. mi wil e ni: ona li kama pona ali.
This is a very dark song, but I love the epicness of it.
What do you think? It was pretty hard to translate, and I'm sure I've made lots of errors.
If you see some, don't hesitate to tell me, I want the lyrics to be perfect.
