Jean-Marc Natel The Runaway Cart Lyrics

VOICES
Look at that!
Look at that!
It's Monsieur Fauchelevant!
Don't approach!
Don't go near!
At the risk of your life!
He is caught by the wheel!
Oh, the pitiful man!
Stay away,
Turn away!
There is nothing to do!
There is nothing to do!

VALJEAN
Is there anyone here
Who will rescue the man
Who will help me to shoulder
The weight of the cart?

VOICES
Don't go near him Mr Mayor
The load is as heavy as hell
The old man's a goner for sure
It'll kill you as well

FAUCHELEVANT
M'sieur le Mayor, I have no words,
You come from God, You are a saint.

JAVERT
Can this be true?
I don't believe what I see!
A man your age
To be as stong as you are!
A mem'ry stirs...
You make me think of a man
From years ago
A man who broke his parole
He disappeared.
Forgive me, sir,
I would not dare...!

VALJEAN
Say what you must
Don't leave it there...

JAVERT
I have only known of one other
Who can do what you have done
He's a convict from the chain gang
He's been ten years on the run
But he couldn't hide forever
We have found his hideaway
And he's just been re-arrested
And he comes to court today.
Well, of course, he now denies it
You'd expect taht of a 'con'
But he couldn't run forever-
No, not even Jean Valjean!

VALJEAN
You say this man denies it all
And gives no sign of understanding or repentance?

You say this man is going to trial
And that he's sure to be returned
To serve his sentence?

Come to that, can you be sure
That I am not your man?

JAVERT
I have known the thief for ages
Tracked him down through thick and thin
And to make the matter certain
There's the brand upon his skin.
He will bend. He will break.
This time there is no mistake!
