Lyrics

[00:02.98] Valjean
[00:04.69] I found her wandering in the wood
[00:06.01] This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
[00:09.99] And I am here to help Cosette
[00:11.36] And I will settle any debt you may think proper
[00:14.33] I will pay what I must pay
[00:19.08] To take Cosette away.
[00:22.96] THENARDIER
[00:32.92] What to do? What to say?
[00:37.21] Shall you carry our treasure away?
[00:41.51] What a gem! What a pearl!
[00:45.90] Beyond rubies is our little girl!
[00:50.08] How can we speak of debt?
[00:54.22] Let's not haggle for darling Cosette!
[01:00.51] Dear Fantine, gone to rest...
[01:05.17] Have we done for your child what is best?
[01:09.45] Shared our bread. Shared each bone.
[01:13.90] Treated her like she's one of our own!
[01:18.40] Like our own, Monsieur!
[01:20.16] VALJEAN
[01:22.58] Your feelings do you credit, sir
[01:25.36] And I will ease the parting blow
[01:27.67] (He pays them.)
[01:28.69] Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
[01:33.49] Now, may I say, we are agreed?
[01:37.28] MME. THENARDIER
[01:38.35] That would quite fit the bill
[01:43.18] If she hadn't so often been ill
[01:47.68] Little dear, cost us dear
[01:51.43] Medicines are expensive, M'sieur
[01:56.18] Not that we begrudged a sou
[02:00.47] It's no more than we Christians must do!
[02:05.93] M. & MME. THENARDIER
[02:07.80] One thing more, one small doubt
[02:12.34] There are treacherous people about
[02:17.09] No offense. Please reflect.
[02:21.24] Your intentions may not be correct?
[02:26.65] VALJEAN
[02:27.91] No more words. Here's your price.
[02:31.74] Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice.
[02:36.18] Come, Cosette, say goodbye
[02:40.31] Let us seek out a friendlier sky.
[02:44.59] Thank you both for Cosette
[02:48.74] It won't take you too long to forget.
[02:53.58] (Valjean and Cosette leave the inn)
