The Bargain

歌詞

lalalalalalalala… <VALJEAN> Hush now,do not be afraid of me Don't hide,show me where you live Tell me,my child, what is your name? <COSETTE> I'm called Cosette <VALJEAN> I found her wandering in the wood, this little child, I found her trembling in the shadows And I am here to help Cosette I will settle any debt you may think proper I will pay what I must pay To take Cosette away <THENARDIER> What to do,what to say Shall you carry a treasure away What a gem,what a pearl Beyond ruby's is our little girl How can we talk of debt Let's not haggle for darling Collete <MADAME THENARDIER> Cosette T:Cosette! Dear Fontine,gone to rest Have we done for a child what is best (I think so) Shere the bread,shere each bone Treated her like she's one of our own V:Your feelings to you credit,sir And I will ease that panting love Let us not talk of bargains and bones and 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 begrudged a sou It's no more than we christians must do No more words! Here's your price fifteen hundreds for your sacrifice Come, Cosette, say goodbye Let us seek out some friendlier sky Thank you, both, for Cosette It won't take you too long to forget Farewell, Courgette! where I go you will be Will you be like a papa to me? Yes Cosette. This is true I'll be father and mother to you
