paroles de chanson The Bargain - Waltz of Treachery - Les Misérables - 10th Anniversary Concert Cast

I found her wandering in the wood with little child
I found her trembling in the shadows
And I am here help Cosette
I will settle any debt you may think proper
I will pay, what I must pay to take Cosette away

What to do, what to say
Shall you carry our treasure away?
What a gem, what a pearl
Beyond rubies is our little girl
How can we speak of debt?
Let's not haggle for darling Cosette

Dear Fantine gone to rest
Have we done to your child what is best?
Shared that bread, shared each bone
Treated her like she's one of our own
Like our own Monsieur

Your feelings, do not credit sir?
And I will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
Now may I say we are agreed

That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little tear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive Monsieur
Not that we'd begrudged a Sou
It's no more than we Christians must do

One thing more, one small doubt
There are treacherous people about
No offence, please reflect
Your intentions may not be correct

No more words, here's your price
Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice
Come Cosette, say goodbye
Let us seek out a friendlier sky
Thank you both for Cosette
It won't take you too long to forget
