LES MISERABLES lyrics : "Valjean's Confession"

MARIUS
M'sieur, this is a day
I never can forget.

Is gratitude enough
For giving me Cosette?


Your home shall be with us
And not a day shall pass
But we will prove our love

To you, whom we shall call
A father to us both,
A father to us all.


VALJEAN
Not another word, my son.

There's something now that must be done...

There lived a man whose name wasJean Valjean.

He stole some bread to save his sister's son
For nineteen winters served his time
In sweat he washed away his crime.


Years ago,
He broke parole and lived a life apart...

How could he tell Cosette and break her heart?
It's for Cosette this must be faced
If he is caught, she disgraced...


The time has come to journey on
And from this day he gone!

Who am I?
Who am I?


MARIUS
You're Jean Valjean!


MARIUS
Monsieur, you cannot leave!
Whatever I tell my beloved Cosette

She will never believe

VALJEAN

Tell her I've gone on a journey
A long way away.
Tell her my heart was too full for farewells -

It is better this way.

Promise me, Monsieur,

Cosette will never know...
What I have spoken,
Why I must go.


MARIUS
For the sake of Cosette,

It must be so.
