Ring out the bells
Upon this day of days!
May all the angels
Of the lord above.
In jubilation
Sing their songs of praise!
And crown this
Blessed time with
Peace and love.
(the procession becomes a dancing celebration. A waltz is played)
The baron and baroness de thénard
Go away, thénardier
Do you think i don't know who you are?
He's not fooled. Told you so
Show m'sieur what you've come here to show
Tell the boy what you know!
Pity to disturb you at a feast like this
But five hundred francs surely wouldn't come amiss.
In god's name say what you have to say.
But first you pay
What i saw, clear as light
Jean Valjean's in the sewers one night
Had this corpse on his back
Hanging there like a bloody great sack
I was there, never fear
Even found me this fine souvenir.
(thénardier shows marius a ring)
I know this! This was mine
This is surely some heavenly sign!
Then it's true. Then i'm right
Jean valjean was my savior that night!
