Valjean, at last
We see each other plain
Finally disgusted
We just watch
Monsieur le Maire
You'll wear a different chain
Martha: Merre
They were wearing a different necklace

Before you say another word, Javert
Before I say anything, Fu
Before you chain me up like a slave again
Before he becomes a slave
Listen to me, there is something I must do
Listen to what I want to do
This woman leaves behind a suffering child
A woman lets a child adopt a child
There is none but me who can intercede
In order not to confuse anything
In Mercy's name, three days are all I need
I just need a three day wait
Then I'll return, I pledge my word
That I'll return
When I got back I promised
When he returns

You must think me mad
It can drive me crazy
I've hunted you across the years
I've been looking for you for years
Men like you can never change
Guys, if you can't change it
A man such as you
make me happy

Believe of me what you will
Believe anything you want
(Men like me can never change) There is a duty that I'm sworn to do
(People like me can't change.) I swear it's work
(No) You know nothing of my life
(No) I don't know about my life
(24601) All I did was steal some bread
(24601) He only stole bread
(My duty's to the law, you have no rights) You know nothing of the world
(My responsibility is legal, you have no rights). You don't know about this world
(Come with me 24601) You would sooner see me dead
(Follow me 24601) You will see me dead soon
(Now the wheel has turned around) But not before I see this justice done
(Now the wheels are spinning.) But it took me a long time to figure out how justice does it.
(Jean Valjean is nothing now)
(Today Disgusted Satro)
(Dare you talk to me of crime) I am warning you Javert
(Karam) I warned Xavier
(And the price you had to pay) I'm a stronger man by far
(Money pays off) I am a strong person
(Every man is born in sin) There is power in me yet
(All sins are born) I have power
(Every man must choose his way) My race is not yet run
(Everyone has to choose their path) My work is not finished yet

You know nothing of Javert
You don't know much about Java
I was born inside a jail
I was born in prison
I was born with scum like you
You were born a wolf
I am from the gutter too
They are very good
