The Bargain-The Waltz Of Treachery-Claude-Michel Schönberg

[00:33.338]I found her wandering in the wood [00:34.898]This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows [00:38.880]And I am here to help Cosette [00:39.848] [00:40.578]And I will settle any debt you may think proper [00:41.958] [00:44.80]I will pay what I must pay [00:48.238] [00:49.80]To take Cosette away. [00:52.598] [00:58.598]There is a duty I must heed, [01:01.918] [01:03.990]There is a promise I have made [01:08.298]For I was blind to one in need [01:11.180] [01:13.180]I did not see what stood before me [01:16.578] [01:19.328]Now her mother is with God [01:22.328] [01:25.279]Fantine's suffering is over [01:28.268] [01:31.149]And I speak here with her voice [01:34.228] [01:36.978]And I stand here in her place [01:44.500] [01:45.980]And from this day and evermore [01:48.529]Let me have your coat, M'sieur [01:51.399]Cosette shall live in my protection [01:54.559]You are very welcome here [01:57.498]I will not forsake my vow [02:01.380]Take a glass [02:02.500]Take a chair [02:04.500]Cosette shall have a father now! [02:11.200] [02:17.260]What to do? What to say? [02:21.579]Shall you carry our treasure away? [02:25.510]What a gem! What a pearl! [02:29.339]Beyond rubies is our little girl! [02:33.390]How can we speak of debt? [02:37.209]Let's not haggle for darling Cosette! [02:43.79]Dear Fantine, gone to rest [02:47.269]Have we done for her child what is best? [02:52.100]Shared our bread, shared each bone [02:55.339]Treated her like she's one of our own! [02:59.299]Like our own, Monsieur! [03:03.799]Your feelings do you credit, sir [03:06.350]And I will ease the parting blow [03:09.700]Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed [03:14.899]Now, may I say, we are agreed? [03:19.19] [03:20.839]That would quite fit the bill [03:25.299]If she hadn't so often been ill [03:29.100]Little dear, cost us dear [03:33.100]Medicines are expensive, M'sieur [03:37.190]Not that we begrudged a sou [03:40.190]It's no more than we Christians must do! [03:46.500] [03:48.70]One thing more, one small doubt [03:52.130]There are treacherous people about [03:56.10]No offense, please reflect [03:59.959]Your intentions may not be... correct? [04:04.560] [04:06.250]No more words, here's your price. [04:09.810]Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice [04:13.940]Come, Cosette, say goodbye, [04:17.829]Let us seek out to friendlier sky. [04:21.529]Thank you both for Cosette [04:25.159]It won't take you too long to forget. [04:29.900] [04:49.200]Come, Cosette, come, my dear [04:52.700]From now on I will always be here [04:56.550]Where I go, you will be. [05:00.39]Will there be castles and children to see? [05:04.360]Yes, Cosette, [05:07.200]Yes, it's true [05:08.300]There's a castle just waiting for you...
