|
Valjean, at last, |
|
We see each other plain |
|
`M'sieur le Mayor,' |
|
You'll wear a different chain! |
|
|
|
|
|
Before you say another word, Javert |
|
Before you chain me up like a slave again |
|
Listen to me! There is something I must do. |
|
This woman leaves behind a suffering child. |
|
There is none but me who can intercede, |
|
In Mercy's name, three days are all I need. |
|
Then I'll return, I pledge my word. |
|
Then I'll return... |
|
|
|
|
|
You must think me mad! |
|
I've hunted you across the years |
|
Men like you can never change |
|
A man such as you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
V:Believe of me what you will |
|
J:Men like me can never change |
|
|
|
V:There is a duty that I'm sworn to do |
|
J:Men like you can never change |
|
|
|
V:You know nothing of my life |
|
All I did was steal some bread |
|
J:No, |
|
24601 |
|
|
|
|
|
V:You know nothing of the world |
|
You would sooner see me dead |
|
J:My duty's to the law - you have no |
|
Rights |
|
Come with me 24601 |
|
|
|
V:But not before I see this justice |
|
done |
|
J:Now the wheel has turned around |
|
Jean Valjean is nothing now |
|
|
|
V:I am warning you Javert |
|
J:Dare you talk to me of crime |
|
|
|
V:I'm a stronger man by far |
|
J:And the price you had to pay |
|
|
|
V:There is power in me yet |
|
J:Every man is born in sin |
|
|
|
V:My race is not yet run |
|
J:Every man must choose his way |
|
|
|
V:I am warning you Javert |
|
J:You know nothing of Javert |
|
|
|
V:There is nothing I won't dare |
|
J:I was born inside a jail |
|
|
|
V:If I have to kill you here |
|
J:I was born with scum like you |
|
|
|
V:I'll do what must be done! |
|
J:I am from the gutter too! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And this I swear to you tonight |
|
|
|
|
|
There is no place for you to hide |
|
|
|
|
|
Your child will live within my care |
|
|
|
|
|
Wherever you may hide away |
|
|
|
|
|
And I will raise her to the light. |
|
|
|
|
|
I swear to you, I will be there! |
