[00:33.338] I found her wandering in the wood
[00:34.898] This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
[00:38.880] And I am here to help Cosette
[00:39.848]
[00:40.578] And I will settle any debt you may think proper
[00:41.958]
[00:44.80] I will pay what I must pay
[00:48.238]
[00:49.80] To take Cosette away.
[00:52.598]
[00:58.598] There is a duty I must heed,
[01:01.918]
[01:03.990] There is a promise I have made
[01:08.298] For I was blind to one in need
[01:11.180]
[01:13.180] I did not see what stood before me
[01:16.578]
[01:19.328] Now her mother is with God
[01:22.328]
[01:25.279] Fantine's suffering is over
[01:28.268]
[01:31.149] And I speak here with her voice
[01:34.228]
[01:36.978] And I stand here in her place
[01:44.500]
[01:45.980] And from this day and evermore
[01:48.529] Let me have your coat, M'sieur
[01:51.399] Cosette shall live in my protection
[01:54.559] You are very welcome here
[01:57.498] I will not forsake my vow
[02:01.380] Take a glass
[02:02.500] Take a chair
[02:04.500] Cosette shall have a father now!
[02:11.200]
[02:17.260] What to do? What to say?
[02:21.579] Shall you carry our treasure away?
[02:25.510] What a gem! What a pearl!
[02:29.339] Beyond rubies is our little girl!
[02:33.390] How can we speak of debt?
[02:37.209] Let's not haggle for darling Cosette!
[02:43.79] Dear Fantine, gone to rest
[02:47.269] Have we done for her child what is best?
[02:52.100] Shared our bread, shared each bone
[02:55.339] Treated her like she's one of our own!
[02:59.299] Like our own, Monsieur!
[03:03.799] Your feelings do you credit, sir
[03:06.350] And I will ease the parting blow
[03:09.700] Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
[03:14.899] Now, may I say, we are agreed?
[03:19.19]
[03:20.839] That would quite fit the bill
[03:25.299] If she hadn't so often been ill
[03:29.100] Little dear, cost us dear
[03:33.100] Medicines are expensive, M'sieur
[03:37.190] Not that we begrudged a sou
[03:40.190] It's no more than we Christians must do!
[03:46.500]
[03:48.70] One thing more, one small doubt
[03:52.130] There are treacherous people about
[03:56.10] No offense, please reflect
[03:59.959] Your intentions may not be... correct?
[04:04.560]
[04:06.250] No more words, here's your price.
[04:09.810] Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice
[04:13.940] Come, Cosette, say goodbye,
[04:17.829] Let us seek out to friendlier sky.
[04:21.529] Thank you both for Cosette
[04:25.159] It won't take you too long to forget.
[04:29.900]
[04:49.200] Come, Cosette, come, my dear
[04:52.700] From now on I will always be here
[04:56.550] Where I go, you will be.
[05:00.39] Will there be castles and children to see?
[05:04.360] Yes, Cosette,
[05:07.200] Yes, it's true
[05:08.300] There's a castle just waiting for you...
