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 Marius (in counterpoint) |
|
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius |
|
I don't feel any pain |
|
A little fall of rain |
|
Can hardly hurt me now |
|
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine |
|
You won't feel any pain |
|
A little fall of rain |
|
Can hardly hurt you now |
|
I'm 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... I will stay with you |
|
Till you are sleeping |
|
And rain |
|
Will make the flowers... |
|
Grow. |
|
Eponine |

|
(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. |
|
Combeferre |
|
We fight here in her name |
|
Prouvaire |
|
She will not die in vain. |
|
Lesgles |
|
She will not be betrayed. |
|
(They carry her body off.) |
