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

There is a duty I must heed
There is a promise I have made
For I was blind to one in need
I did not see what stood before me

Now her mother is with God
Fantine's suffering is over
And I speak here with her voice
And I stand here in her place

And from this day and evermore

MME. THÉNARDIER
Let me have your coat, Monsieur

VALJEAN
Cosette shall live in my protection

THÉNARDIER
You are very welcome here

VALJEAN
I will not forsake my vow

THENARDIER
Take a glass

MME. THÉNARDIER
Take a chair

VALJEAN
Cosette shall have a father now

THÉNARDIER
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 for your child what is best?
Shared our bread, shared each bone
Treated her like she's one of our own
Like our own, Monsieur

VALJEAN
Your feelings do you 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?

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

M. & MME. THÉNARDIER
One thing more, one small doubt
There are treacherous people about
No offense, please reflect
Your intentions may not be correct

VALJEAN
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

Come, Cosette, come, my dear
From now on, I will always be here
Where I go, you will be

COSETTE
Will there be castles and children to see?

VALJEAN
Yes, Cosette, yes, it's true
There's a castle just waiting for you
