Victor Hugo´s LES MISERABLES

LES MISERABLES
Come to Me (Fantine's Death)
Scene: Fantine & Valjean

[FANTINE]
Cosette, it's turned so cold
Cosette, it's past your bedtime
You've played the day away
And soon it will be night.

Come to me, Cosette, the light is fading
Don't you see the evening star appearing?
Come to me, and rest against my shoulder
How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder.

Hurry near, another day is dying
Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying?
There's a darkness which comes without a warning
But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning.

[VALJEAN]
Oh, Fantine, our time is running out
But Fantine, I swear this on my life

[FANTINE]
Look, M'sieur, where all the children play

[VALJEAN]
Be at peace, be at peace evermore.

[FANTINE]
My Cosette...

[VALJEAN]
Shall live in my protection

[FANTINE]
Take her now

[VALJEAN]
Your child will want for nothing

[FANTINE]
Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven.

[VALJEAN]
And none will ever harm Cosette
As long as I am living.

[FANTINE]
Take my hand. The night grows ever colder.

[VALJEAN]
Then I will keep you warm.

[FANTINE]
Take my child. I give her to your keeping.

[VALJEAN]
Take shelter from the storm

[FANTINE]
For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake...

i love victor hugo.....this is my favourite novel....he was soooo great!!!

[lilgrasshoppah]

too lyrical... another case of hitting the not... but missing the import of the lyrics. There should be more pain and force. It's not bad. But... there's no acting.

God, this song is so sad. :(

Victor Hugo was a genius, and not only for his words and his work, but because he could see beyond the man, and far beyond human society. he saw the sad truth, and decided to give all his soul to show that truth to others-uunfortunately now they play Les Miserables in London and people cheers, then they go out and see a homeless man fighting to breath, and they ignore him, or laugh at the scary bum who is sitting on the streets. Poor Victor Hugo, you failed, but some understood and approved you

Johnon Paul, author of the famous "Intellectuals" in the book "The creators of" posed the question: "Is the genius of imagination can combine with limited intelligence? What do you think? controversial?

[ThierryCABOT]

Ton sang herculéen fait trembler nos limites ;

Hugo, satan céleste, âme en deuil, pâtre nu,

Hugo, soleil énorme éclaboussé de mythes,

Qui sculpte l’innommable et cueille l’ingénu.

Un poète contemporain

except that this isn't andrew lloyd webber. this is cameron macintosh, alain boubil and claude michel-schonberg. but webber is great, i agree!
