Текст и слова песни Misc Musical – The Confrontation
Javert
Valjean, at last,
We see each other plain
`M'sieur le Mayor',
You'll wear a different chain.
Valjean
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...
Javert
You must think me mad!
I've hunted you across the years
A man like you can never change
A man... such as you...
Valjean (in counterpoint) Javert (in counterpoint)
Believe of me what you will Men like me can never change
There is a duty that I'm sworn Men like you can never change
to do No, 24601,
You know nothing of my life My duty's to the law
All I did was steal some bread You have no rights
You know nothing of the world Come with me 24601
You would rather see me dead Now the wheel has turned around
But not before I see this justice done Jean Valjean is nothing now
I am warning you Javert Dare you talk to me of crime
I'm a stronger man by far And the price you had to pay
There is power in me yet Every man is born in sin
My race is not yet run Every man must choose his way
I am warning you Javert You know nothing of Javert
There is nothing I won't dare I was born inside a jail
If I have to kill you here I was born with scum like you
I'll do what must be done! I am from the gutter too!
[Valjean breaks chair and threatens Javert with the broken piece.
Turns to Fantine.]
Valjean
And this I swear to you tonight
Javert
There is no place for you to hide
Valjean
Your child will live within my care
Javert
Whereever you may hide away
Valjean
And I will raise her to the light.
Valjean & Javert
I swear to you, I will be there!
[They fight, Javert is knocked out. Valjean escapes.]
CASTLE ON A CLOUD
[Young Cosette is working as a drudge in the
Thenardier's inn at Montfermeil.]
Young Cosette
There is a castle on a cloud,
I like to go there in my sleep,
Aren't any floors for me to sweep,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a room that's full of toys,
There are a hundred boys and girls,
Nobody shouts or talks too loud,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a lady all in white,
Holds me and sings a lullabye,
She's nice to hear and she's soft to touch,
She says "Cosette, I love you very much."
I know a place where no one's lost,
I know a place where no one cries,
Crying at all is not allowed,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
Oh help! I think I hear them now,
and I'm nowhere near finished sweeping and
scrubbing and polishing the floor.
Oh, it's her! It's Madame!
Mme. Thenardier
Now look who's here
The little madam herself!
Pretending once again she's been `so awfully good',
Better not let me catch you slacking
Better not catch my eye!
Ten rotten francs your mother sends me
What is that going to buy?
Now take that pail
My little `Mademoiselle'
And go and draw some water from the well!
We should never have taken you in in the first place
How stupid, the things that we do!
Like mother like daughter, the scum of the street.
Eponine, come my dear, Eponine, let me see you
You look very well in that new little blue hat
There's some little girls who know how to behave
And they know what to wear
And I'm saying thank heaven for that.
Still there Cosette?
Your tears will do you no good.
I told you fetch some water from the well in the wood...
Young Cosette
Please do not send me out alone
Not in the darkness on my own!
Mme. Thenardier
Enough of that, or I'll forget to be nice!
You heard me ask for something,
And I never ask twice!
[Young Eponine pushes Cosette out. Thenardier
says good night to his daughter as the inn fills
up for the evening.]
Valjean, at last,
We see each other plain
`M'sieur le Mayor',
You'll wear a different chain.
Valjean

Before you chain me up like a slave again

In Mercy's name, three days are all I need.
Then I'll return, I pledge my word.
Then I'll return...
