Translation
Bilingual
I found her wandering in the wood
This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
And I am here to help Cosette
And I will settle any debt you may think proper
I will pay what I must pay
To take Cosette away
ย
What to do? What to say?
Shall you carry our treasure away?
What a gem, what a pearl
Beyond rubies is our little girl
How could we speak of debt?
Let's not haggle for darling Cosette
Dear Fantine, gone to rest
Have we done for your child what is best?
Shared our bread
Shared each bone
Treated her like she's one of our own
Like our own, Monsieur
Your feelings do you credit, sir
And I will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains, or bones, or greed
Now, may I say we are agreed?
That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, Monsieur
Not that we'd begrudge a sou
It's no more than we Christians must do
One thing more
One small doubt
There are treacherous people about
No offense
Please reflect
Your intentions may not be correct
No more words
Here's your price
Fifteen hundred for your "sacrifice"
Come, Cosette
Say goodbye
Let us seek out a friendlier sky
Thank you both for Cosette
It won't take you too long to forget
