[PRISONERS] Look down, look down Don't look 'em in the eye Look down, look down, You're here until you die
[CONVICT ONE] The sun is strong It's hot as hell below
[PRISONER] Look down, look down, There's twenty years to go
[CONVICT TWO] I've done no wrong! Sweet Jesus, hear my prayer!
[PRISONERS] Look down look down, Sweet Jesus doesn't care
[CONVICT THREE] I know she'll wait, I know that she'll be true!
[PRISONERS] Look down, look down, They've all forgotten you
[CONVICT FOUR] When I get free ya won't see me Here for dust!
[PRISONERS] Look down, look down Don't look 'em in the eye
[CONVICT FIVE] How long, oh Lord Before you let me die?
[PRISONERS] Look down, look down, You'll always be a slave Look down, look down, You're standing in your grave
[JAVERT] Now bring me prisoner 24601 Your time is up And your parole's begun You know what that means.
[VALJEAN] Yes, it means I'm free.
[JAVERT] No! It means you get Your yellow ticket-of-leave You are a thief
[VALJEAN] I stole a loaf of bread.
[JAVERT] You robbed a house.
[VALJEAN] I broke a window pane. My sister's child was close to death And we were starving.
[JAVERT] You will starve again Unless you learn the meaning of the law.
[VALJEAN] I know the meaning of those 19 years A slave of the law
[JAVERT] Five years for what you did The rest because you tried to run Yes, 24601.
[VALJEAN] My name is Jean Valjean
[JAVERT] And I am Javert Do not forget my name! Do not forget me, 24601.
[PRISONERS] Look down, look down You'll always be a slave Look down, look down You're standing in your grave.
[VALJEAN] Freedom is mine. The earth is still. I feel the wind. I breathe again. And the sky clears The world is waking. Drink from the pool. How clean the taste. Never forget the years, the waste. Nor forgive them For what they've done. They are the guilty - everyone. The day begins... And now lets see What this new world Will do for me!
[He finds work on a farm]
[FARMER] You'll have to go I'll pay you off for the day Collect your bits and pieces there And be on your way.
[VALJEAN] You have given me half What the other men get! This handful of tin Wouldn't buy my sweat!
[LABORER] You broke the law It's there for people to see Why should you get the same As honest men like me?
[VALJEAN] Now every door is closed to me Another jail. Another key. Another chain For when I come to any town They check my papers And they find the mark of Cain In their eyes I see their fear `We do not want you here.'
[He comes to an inn]
[INKEEPER'S WIFE] My rooms are full And I've no supper to spare I'd like to help a stranger All we want is to be fair
[VALJEAN] I will pay in advance I can sleep in a barn You see how dark it is I'm not some kind of dog!
[INNKEEPER] You leave my house Or feel the weight of my rod We're law-abiding people here Thanks be to God.
[They throw him out of the inn]
[VALJEAN] And now I know how freedom feels The jailer always at your heels It is the law! This piece of paper in my hand That makes me cursed throughout the land It is the law! Like a cur I walk the street, The dirt beneath their feet.
[He sits down despairingly outside a house from which emerges the Bishop of Digne.]
[BISHOP] Come in, Sir, for you are weary, And the night is cold out there. Though our lives are very humble What we have, we have to share. There is wine here to revive you. There is bread to make you strong, There's a bed to rest till morning, Rest from pain, and rest from wrong.
[VALJEAN] He let me eat my fill I had the lion's share The silver in my hand Cost twice what I had earned In all those nineteen years - That lifetime of despair And yet he trusted me. The old fool trusted me - He'd done his bit of good I played the grateful serf And thanked him like I should But when the house was still, I got up in the night. Took the silver Took my flight!
There was a time when men were kind When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart And they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me That we will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
He thinks that man is me He knew him at a glance! That stranger he has found This man could be my chance!
Why should I save his hide? Why should I right this wrong When I have come so far And struggled for so long?
If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!
I am the master of hundreds of workers. They all look to me. How can I abandon them? How would they live If I am not free?
If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!
Who am I? Can I condemn this man to slavery Pretend I do not feel his agony This innocent who bears my face Who goes to judgement in my place Who am I? Can I conceal myself for evermore? Pretend I'm not the man I was before? And must my name until I die Be no more than an alibi? Must I lie? How can I ever face my fellow men? How can I ever face myself again? My soul belongs to God, I know I made that bargain long ago He gave me hope when hope was gone He gave me strength to journey on
He appears in front of the court
Who am I? Who am I? I am Jean Valjean!
He unbuttons his shirt to reveal the number tattooed to his chest
And so Javert, you see it's true That man bears no more guilt than you! Who am I? 24601!

And now I'm all alone again Nowhere to turn, no one to go to Without a home, without a friend, Without a face to say hello to. And now the night is near Now I can make believe he's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping I think of him and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head.
On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone, I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me for ever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him But when the night is over He is gone, the river's just a river Without him the world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers
I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me his world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known!
I love him I love him I love him But only on my own -
EPONINE Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius I don't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now You're here, that's all I need to know And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close And rain will make the flowers grow.
MARIUS But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above, If I could heal your wounds with words of love.
EPONINE Just hold me now, and let it be. Shelter me, comfort me
MARIUS You would live a hundred years If I could show you how I won't desert you now...
EPONINE The rain can't hurt me now This rain will wash away what's past And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close I'll sleep in your embrace at last.
The rain that brings you here Is Heaven-blessed! The skies begin to clear And I'm at rest A breath away from where you are I've come home from so far So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now
That's all I need to know And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close
MARIUS(in counterpoint) Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine, You won't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt you now I'm here
I will stay with you Till you are sleeping
EPONINE And rain...
MARIUS And rain...
EPONINE Will make the flowers...
MARIUS Will make the flowers... grow...
(She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground)
ENJOLRAS She is the first to fall The first of us to fall upon this barricade
MARIUS Her name was Eponine Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid.
There's a grief that can't be spoken There's a pain goes on and on Empty chairs at empty tables Now my friends are dead and gone
Here they talked of revolution Here it was they lift the flame Here they sang about tomorrow And tomorrow never came.
From the table in the corner They could see a world reborn And they rose with voices ringing And I can hear them now! The very words that they had sung Became their last communion On the lowly barricade. At dawn.
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me. That I live and you are gone There's a grief that can't be spoken There's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window Phantom shadows on the floor Empty chairs at empty tables Where my friends will meet no more.
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me What your sacrifice was for Empty chairs at empty tables Where my friends will sing no more...
여기서 혁명을 말하였다. 여기서 화염을 지폈다. 빈 테이블, 빈 의자들 여기서 내일을 노래했다. 그리고 내일은 결코 오지 않았다.
구석 테이블에서 그들은 새로 태어난 세계를 볼 수 있었다. 그리고 울려퍼지는 소리들과 함께 일어섰다. 그리고 난 지금 그들의 말을 들을 수 있다. 그들이 노래했던 바로 그 말들 그들의 마지막 교감이 되었다. 새벽 낮은 바리케이드에서.
오, 나의 친구들, 날 용서해 난 살고 넌 죽었지. 말할 수 없는 슬픔이야. 고통은 계속 되지.
유령이 창문에서 보고 있어. 유령이 바닥에 그림자가 되어 있어. 빈 테이블, 빈 의자들. 내 친구들을 더 이상 만나지 못할 곳.
오, 나의 친구들, 묻지 마. 너의 희생이 무엇을 위해서였는지. 빈 테이블, 빈 의자들. 내 친구들이 더 이상 노래하지 않는 곳
