Текст песни The Attack on Rue Plumet - Claude-Michel Schönberg

This is his lair, I've seen the old fox around
He keeps himself to himself
He's staying close to the ground
I smell profit here!

Ten years ago he came and paid for Cosette
I let her go for a song
It's time we settled the debt
This'll cost him dear!

What do I care
Who you should rob?
Give me my share!
Finish the job!

You shut your mouth
You'll get what's yours
What have we here?
Who is this hussy?

It's your brat Eponine!
Don't you know your own kid?
Why's she hanging about you?

Eponine, get on home
You're not needed in this
We're enough here without you

I know this house, I tell you
There's nothing here for you!
Just the old man and the girl
They live ordinary lives

Don't interfere, you've got some gall
Take care young miss, you've got a lot to say

She's going soft, happens to all
Go home, 'Ponine, go home
You're in the way!

I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here
One little scream and you'll regret it for a year!

Make for the sewers!
Get underground!
Leave her to me!
Don't wait around!
Oh, you wait my girl, you'll rue this night!
I'll make you scream, you'll scream alright!

It was your cry, sent them away
Once more 'Ponine, saving the day
Dearest Cosette, my friend 'Ponine
Brought me to you, showed me the way
Someone is near, let's not be seen
Somebody's here!

My God, Cosette!
I heard a cry in the dark
I heard the shout of angry voices in the street

That was my cry you heard, Papa
I was afraid of what they'd do
They ran away when they heard my cry
Cosette, my child
What will become of you?

Three men I saw beyond the wall
Three men in shadow moving fast
This is a warning to us all
These are the shadows of the past

Must be Javert!
He's found my cover at last
I've got to get Cosette away before they return

We must get away from shadows that will never let us be
Tomorrow to Calais and then a ship across the sea

Hurry Cosette, prepare to leave and say no more
Tomorrow we'll away
But Papa-
Hurry Cosette, it's time to close another door
And live another day
