Fantine’s Death Lyrics by Madalena Alberto, John Owen-Jones

Les Misérables Live! (2010 London Cast Recording)

0

[FANTINE is now so ill that she is delirious. She imagines she can see her child, COSETTE, at play.]
[FANTINE]
Cosette, it's turned so cold
Cosette, it's past your bedtime
You played the day away
And soon it will be night
Come to me, Cosette, the light is fading
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 enters.]
[VALJEAN]
Oh, Fantine, our time is running out
But Fantine, I swear this on my life
[FANTINE]
Look, Monsieur, 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 Monsieur, you come from God in heaven
[VALJEAN]
And none shall ever harm Cosette as long as I am living
[FANTINE]
Take my hand
The night grows ever colder
[VALJEAN]
Then I shall 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...
[FANTINE dies with a smile.]
