[00:16.640]I found her wandering in the wood
[00:17.899]This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
[00:21.577]And I am here to help Cosette
[00:22.566]And I will settle any debt you may think proper
[00:25.614]I will pay what I must pay
[00:30.071]To take Cosette away.
[00:39.129]What to do? What to say?
[00:42.973]Shall you carry our treasure away?
[00:46.763]What a gem! What a pearl!
[00:50.397]Beyond rubies is our little girl!
[00:54.071]How can we speak of debt?
[00:57.750]Let’s not haggle for darling Colette!
[01:01.189]-Cosette -Cosette!
[01:03.785]Dear Fantine, gone to rest
[01:07.505]Have we done for your child what is best?
[01:11.372]Shared our bread, shared each bone
[01:14.955]We treated her like she’s one of our own!
[01:18.116]Like our own, monsieur!
[01:23.724]Your feelings do you credit, sir. I will ease the parting blow
[01:28.121]Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
[01:30.969]Now, may I say we are agreed?
[01:35.742]That would quite fit the bill
[01:39.301]if she hadn’t so often been ill
[01:43.292]Little dear, cost us dear!
[01:47.120]Medicines are expensive, monsieur
[01:50.685]Not that we’d begrudge a sou
[01:54.458]It’s no more than we Christians must do
[02:01.210]One thing more, one small doubt!
[02:05.024]There are treacherous people about!
[02:08.559]No offence! Please reflect
[02:12.622]Your intentions may not be correct
[02:18.226]No more words! Here’s your price
[02:21.719]1,500 for your sacrifice
[02:25.378]Come, Cosettte, say goodbye!
[02:29.008]Let us seek out some friendlier sky
[02:32.634]Thank you both for Cosette
[02:36.228]It won’t take you too long to forget
[02:56.701]Come Cosette, come my dear
[03:00.207]From now on I will always be here
[03:03.990]Where I go, you will be
[03:07.565]Will there be children in castles to see?
[03:11.689]Yes Cosette, yes it’s true
[03:15.263]There’s a castle just waiting for you
[03:20.006]
