heart still trembles the world I saw, it is darkness..... From the sky of hell it is him.... and

It feels good..... that in granting me life today, death reigns in my being.....

ALWAYS, ALWAYS

WOMAN 1 You didn't see them going to fight....

Children of the barricade, whom we no longer saw.

WOMAN3 You did not see them, dead for no reason, children that we rocked and kissed with love.

WOMAN1 They have not seen death so cruel....

WOMAN4 When they return....

WOMAN3 They will never return....

WOMAN4 No one warned them that they might die.

They were children who wanted to see, with their sacrifice, another world be reborn....

WOMAN3 That world that never arrived.

WOMAN1 Nothing changes.......

Nothing will change.

WOMAN5 Another year, another mouth to feed.

WOMAN2 It's the same, praying doesn't work.

WOMAN4 Why pray, if no one will listen to us.

WOMEN Always, always, always, always, another year the same. Always, always, another year

same, it's always the same, another year to get through, the years go by, nothing changes, nothing will change,

nothing will change, nothing changes, nothing will change.

CHAIRS AND EMPTY TABLES

MARIUS I carry burdens that do not ease, they are the burdens that do not cease, chairs and empty tables, my

friends will not come. They dreamed of the revolution, here the flame was ignited, talk of a tomorrow emerged

and the tomorrow did not arrive. In that corner of tables, new worlds longed for and their voices it

they said, now I feel in me the cry of freedom was a sacred communion, in that dawn

without sun.

Forgive me my friends, that you have died and that I live, it is the sorrow of my soul, a sorrow that does not

it will cease, your faces do not leave me and the shadows pursue me on empty chairs and tables, where

they will not sit down, don’t ask me friends, if the sacrifice was in vain, chairs and empty tables, where

I will never see you again.....

MARIUS AND COSETTE

COSETTE Every day you take another step, you walk much better now it doesn't hurt anymore.

COSETTE Don't think about him anymore, Marius, just think about living, I will never abandon you, for I...

father of the two.

JV Don't say anymore, my son, there is something that must be done. Your heart spoke, I must do it.

Same, it is a story of sad slavery, that only you will know. Cosette doesn't know it, quite.

He/she has already suffered, he/she does not know the truth, he/she will hear from me what happened....

There was a man named Jean Valjean, he stole a loaf of bread out of hunger and necessity, 20 years of

life paid, with sweat it washed away its crime...

Years ago, he broke his word and ran away, and what could he say to Cosette... It was for her own good to

to prevent him from ever suffering again, the time to move on has come and today I must go.... Who am I

Yo?.... Who am I?....

MARIUS .....Be Jean Valjean.

What can I do to change his decision? He can't leave.... I can't tell Cosette anything,

You won't believe me.

JV Let him see that I went on a trip, very far from here, that my emotions do not let me say it.

goodbye, promise it sir!, Cosette will never know....

MARIUS I promise!

JV .....What I told you, why did I leave?...

All the angels must sing happiness, be very happy the two of you.

The baron and baroness of Thenardier present their respects to the groom.

THENARDIER Where did I see her, it wasn't with the marquises of Guiss, it was the marquis who

he/she/they made it, well from so much laughing he/she/they 'pee'd'.

MADAME THENARDIER yes, yes, yes.........

MARIUS No baron of Thenar, my life moves with more simplicity, go away, Thenardier!

I think I don't really know who he is.

MADAME THENARDIER No guess, I warned you, say what you have come to tell her, say it to her at once.

MARIUS When I look at you, I remember Eponine, she was worth more than you deserved, and now she is

with God, and happier than here he will be.

THENARDIER That's right, God knows, life has given me so many blows!

MADAMME THENARDIER For love and kindness, I could let go a little, I will try without error that

your father-in-law is a criminal.

THENARDIER I will try it.

MADAME THENARDIER If she pays us for the information.

THENARDIER He killed a guy, I saw the body for sure, what I'm saying is true.

MADAMME THENARDIER I'm sorry to bother you at your party!, but 500 francs would be quite helpful for us.

MARIUS Oh God!, say what you have to say.

THENARDIER There's a price!.....uhyyyyyyyyyy.

THENARDIER Believe me, it was him, in the sewers I saw Jean Valjean, dragging a boy, to the ...

just like a bleeding sack. To clarify further, this ring will demonstrate it.

MARIUS It is true, it is mine.... The evidence is conclusive.

THENARDIER Believe me, it happened when the barricade fell.

MARIUS It is true, it is like that, Jean Valjean was the one who saved me.....Have my gratitude!, God that

all give us your forgiveness.

Come Cosette!, come my love, on the day of our union.

THENARDIER Release that money you pig, do you want to let go of the money, damn you....!

It makes me laugh and brings pleasure to rub shoulders here with all the 'cremme'. Here comes a gentleman, and that is

marquis... and a bourgeois gay. Paris at my feet is the nova more, and here I am with

desire to 'snovear'......

Poor is the feast, master dancer, from this great deck I am the wild card. There are so many people that

it goes legally, always showing off more without a dime, they pray every Sunday, they give thanks to the

Sir....

Madame Thenardier, Thenardier

But we are the ones who always triumph in the end. Look at them dance, until they burst, with

skill, they must strip them away, Lords of the land, you have it all, we will resurrect even if you kill us,

I know which way the wind blows, I can smell money, if we are rich like 'Croesus', I will see you with

the chains will be broken and there will be freedom......
