paroles de chanson Confrontation - Les Misérables - Original London Cast

Valjean, at last
We see each other plain
Monsieur le Mayor
You'll wear a different chain!

Before you say another word, Javert
Before you chain me up like a slave again
Listen to me! There is something I must do
This woman leaves behind a suffering child
There is none but me who can intercede
In Mercy's name, three days are all I need
Then I'll return, I pledge my word
Then I'll return

You must think me mad!
I've hunted you across the years
Men like you can never change
A man such as you

Believe of me what you will (Men like me can never change)
There is a duty that I'm sworn to do (Men like me can never change)
You know nothing of my life (No, 2460)
All I did was steal some bread (1. My duty's to)

You know nothing of the world (the law, you have no rights)
You would sooner see me dead (Come with me, 24601)
But not before I see this justice (Now the wheel has turned around)
Done (Jean Valjean is nothing now)

I am warning you Javert (Dare you talk to me of crime)
I'm a stronger man by far (And the price you had to pay)
There is power in me yet (Every man is born in sin)
My race is not yet run (Every man must choose his way)

I am warning you Javert (You know nothing of Javert)
There is nothing I won't dare (I was born inside a jail)
If I have to kill you here (I was born with scum like you)
I'll do what must be done! (I am from the gutter too!)

And this I swear to you tonight
(There is no place for you to hide)
Your child will live within my care
(Wherever you may hide away)
And I will raise her to the light
I swear to you, I will be there
