Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye

Look down, look down,
You're here until you die



Now bring me prisoner 24601
Your time is up

And your parole's begun
You know what that means.


Yes, it means I'm free.

No!

Follow to the letter your itinerary
This badge of shame you'll show until you die
It warns you're a dangerous man


I stole a loaf of bread.
My sister's child was close to death

And we were starving.

You will starve again

Unless you learn the meaning of the law.

I know the meaning of those 19 years

A slave of the law

Five years for what you did

The rest because you tried to run
Yes, 24601.


My name is Jean Valjean

And I am Javert

Do not forget my name!
Do not forget me,
24601.


Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave

Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave.
