Hugh Jackman - The confrontation [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[JAVERT]
Valjean, at last
We see each other plain
Monsieur le mayor
You'll wear a different chain

[VALJEAN]
Before you say another word, Javert
Before you chain me up like a slave again
Listen to me! There is something I must do

This woman leaves behind a suffering child
There is none but me who can intercede
In Mercy's name, three days are all I need

Then I'll return, I pledge my word
Then I'll return

[JAVERT]
You must think me mad!
I've hunted you across the years
A man like you can never change
A man such as you

[VALJEAN and JAVERT simultaneously]
[V]Believe of me what you will
[J]Men like you can never change

[V]There is a duty that I'm sworn to do
[J]Men like me can never change

[V]You know nothing of my life
[J]No, 24601

[V]All I did was steal some bread
[J]My duty's to the law

[V]You know nothing of the world
[J]You have no rights

[V]You would sooner see me dead
[J]Come with me 24601

[V]But not before I see this justice
[J]Now the wheel has turned around

[V]Done
[J]Jean Valjean means nothing now

[V]I am warning you Javert
[J]Dare you talk to me of crime

[V]I'm a stronger man by far
[J]And the price you had to pay

[V]There is power in me yet
[J]Every man is born in sin

[V]My race is not yet run
[J]Every man must choose his way

[JAVERT]
You know nothing of Javert
I was born inside a jail
I was born with scum like you
I am from the gutter too!
