Bilingual
Valjean at last, we see each other plain
Monsieur le mayor
You'll wear different chain
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 not but me who can intercede
In mercy's name, 3 days are all I need
Then I'll return, I pledge my word, then I'll return
You must think me mad
I've hunted you across the years
Men like you can never change
A man such as you
Believe of me, what you will/ Men like you can never change
There is a duty that I am sworn to do/ Men like me can never change
You know nothing of my life/ No, 24601
All I did was steal some bread
You know nothing of the world/ My duty's to the law, you have no rights
You would sooner see me dead/ Come with me 24601
But not before I see this justice done/ Now the wheel has turned around, Jean Valjean is nothing now
I am warning you Javert/ Dare you talk to me of crime
I'm the stronger man by far/ And the price you had to pay
There is power in me yet, my race is not yet run/ Every man is born in sin, 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'll do what must be done/ I was born with scum like you, I am from the gutter too
And this I swear to you tonight
ย
There is no place for you to hide
Your child will live within my care
Wherever you may hide away
And I will raise her to the light
I swear to you I will be there
