Fantine's Death |
FANTINE Cosette it's turned so cold.Costette it's past your bedtime, you've played the day away and soon it will be night. Come to me Cosette the light is fading don't you see the evenig star appearing?Come to me and rest against my shoulder how fast the minutes fly away and evey minute colder! Hurry near another day is dying don't you hear the winter wind is crying?There's a darkness which comes without a warning but I will sing you lullabys and wake you in the morning! VALJEAN Oh, Fantine our time is running out!But Fantine I swear this on my life FANTINE Look M'seiur where all the children play! VALJEAN Be at peace be at peace evermore FANTINE My Cosette... VALJEAN Shall live in my protection FANTINE Take her now VALJEAN Your child shall want for nothing FANTINE Good M'sieur you come from God In Heaven VALJEAN And none shall ever harm Cosette as long as I am living FANTINE Take my hand the night grows ever colder VALJEAN Then I will keep you warm FANTINE Take my child I give her to your keeping VALJEAN Take shelter from the storm FANTINE For God sake please stay till I am sleeping and tell Cosette I love her and I'll see her when I wake.. She dies with a smile on her face . |
