Les Miserables - The Confrontation слова песни
JavertValjean, at last,We see each other plain`M`sieur le Mayor`,You`ll wear a different chain. ValjeanBefore you say another word, JavertBefore you chain me up like a slave againListen 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... JavertYou must think me mad!I`ve hunted you across the yearsA man like you can never changeA man... such as you... Javert (in counterpoint)Men like me can never changeMen like you can never changeNo, 24601,My duty`s to the lawYou have no rightsCome with me 24601Now the wheel has turned aroundne Jean Valjean is nothing nowDare you talk to me of crimeAnd the price you had to payEvery man is born in sinEvery man must choose his wayYou know nothing of JavertI was born inside a jailI was born with scum like youI am from the gutter too! Valjean (in counterpoint)Believe of me what you will There is a duty that I`m sworn to do You know nothing of my life All I did was steal some bread You know nothing of the world You would rather see me dead But not before I see this justice doneI am warning you Javert I`m a stronger man by far There is power in me yet My race is not yet run I am warning you Javert There is nothing I won`t dare If I have to kill you here I`ll do what must be done! [Valjean breaks chair and threatens Javert with the broken piece. Turns to Fantine.] ValjeanAnd this I swear to you tonight JavertThere is no place for you to hide ValjeanYour child will live within my care JavertWherever you may hide away ValjeanAnd I will raise her to the light. Valjean & JavertI swear to you, I will be there! [They fight, Javert is knocked out. Valjean escapes.]
