Jean-Marc Natel Fantine's Arrest Lyrics

BAMATABOIS
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 a slice of your pie.

FANTINE
I don't want you. No, no, m'sieur, let me go.

BAMATABOIS
Is this a trick? I won't pay more.

FANTINE
No, not at all.

BAMATABOIS
You've got some never, you little w____
You've got some gall.
It's the same with a tart
As it is with a grocer
The customer sees what he gets in advance
It's not for the w____ to say 'yes sir' or 'no sir'
It's not for the harlot to pick and to choose
Or to lead me a dance!

FANTINE
I'll kill you, you b______, try any of that!
Even a w____ who has gone to the bad
Won't be had by a rat!

BAMATABOIS
By Christ you'll pay for what you've done
This rat will make you bleed you'll see!
I guarantee, I'll make you suffer
For this disturbance of the peace
For this insult to life and property

FANTINE
I beg you, don't report me, sir
I'll do what ever you may want...

BAMATABOIS
Make your excuse to the police!

JAVERT
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 w____s and vipers
Let one speak who saw it all.
Who laid hands on this good man here?
What's the substance of this brawl?

BAMATABOIS
Javert, would you believe it
I was crossing fromt eh park
When this protitute attacked me
You can see she left her mark.

JAVERT
She will answer for her actions
When you make a full report.
You may rest a__ured, M'sieur
That she will answer to the court.

FANTINE
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!

JAVERT
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.'

VALJEAN
A moment of your time, Javert
I do believe this woman's tale.

JAVERT
But M'sieur Mayor!

VALJEAN
You've done your duty
Let her be
She needs a doctor, not a jail

JAVERT
But M'sieur Mayor!

FANTINE
Can this be?

VALJEAN
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?

FANTINE
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!

VALJEAN
Is it true, what I've done?

FANTINE
My daughter's close to dying...

VALJEAN
To an innocent soul?

FANTINE
If there's a God above

VALJEAN
Had I only known then.

FANTINE
He'd let me die instead.

VALJEAN
In His name, my task has just begun.
I will see it done.
I will see it done.

JAVERT
But M'sieur Mayor!

VALJEAN
I will see it done!

JAVERT
But M'sieur Mayor!

VOICES
Look out!
It's a runaway cart!
