文本歌词

Here's something new, I think I'll give it a try.
Come closer you! I like to see what I buy
The usual price, for just one slice of your pie
I don't want you, no, no, M'sieur, let me go.
Is this a trick? I won't pay more!
No, not at all.
You've got some nerve, you little whore
You've got some gall.
It's the same with a tart as it is with a grocer
Shut up!
The customer sees what he gets in advance
It's not for the whore to say 'yes or 'no sir'
It's not for the harlot to pick and to choose
Or lead me to a dance!
No, I'll kill you, you bastard, try any of that!
Even a whore who has gone to the bad
Won't be had by a rat!
By Christ you'll pay for what you have done
This rat will make bleed, you you'll see!
I guarantee, I'll make you suffer
For this disturbance of the peace
For this insult to life and property!
I beg you, don't report me sir
I'll do whatever you may want
Make your excuse to the police!
Tell me quickly what's the story
Who saw what and why and where
Let him give a full description
Let him answer to Javert!
In this nest of whores and vipers
Let one speak who saw it all
Who laid hands on this good man here?
What's the substance of this brawl?
There's a child who sorely needs me
Please M'sieur, she's but that high
Holy God, is there no mercy?
If I go to jail she'll die!
I have heard such protestations
Every day for twenty years
Let's have no more explanations
Save your breath and save your tears
Honest work, just reward,
That's the way to please the Lord.
A moment of your time, Javert
I do believe this woman's tale
But M'sieur Mayor!
Done You've your duty
Let her be
She needs a doctor, not a jail.
But M'sieur Mayor!
Can this be?
Where will she end
This child without a friend?
I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief
In such a place as this?
M'sieur, don't mock me now, I pray
It's hard enough I've lost my pride
You let your foreman send me away
Yes, you were there, and turned aside
I never did no wrong
Is it true, what I have done?
My daughter's close to dying
To an innocent soul?
If there's a God above
Had I only known then...
He'd let me die instead
In His name my task has just begun
I will see it done!
But M'sieur Mayor!
Take it a hotbit...
But M'sieur Mayor!
I will see it done!
