paroles de chanson Work Song - Les Misérables Original London Cast

Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down,
You're here until you die
The sun is strong
It's hot as hell below
Look down, look down,
There's twenty years to go
I've done no wrong!
Sweet Jesus hear my prayer!
Look down, look down,
Sweet Jesus doesn't care
I know she'll wait,
I know that she'll be true!
Look down, look down,
They've all forgotten you
When I get free, ya won't see me
Here for dust!
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
How long O Lord
Before you let me die?
Look down, look down,
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down,
You're standing in your grave

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!
It means you get
Your yellow ticket-of-leave
You are a thief

I stole a loaf of bread!

You robbed a house!

I broke a window pane!
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving!

And 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'm Javert
Do not forget my name
Do not forget me
24601
