Les Miserables Prologue: Valijean Arrested/Valijean Forgiven

Tekst piosenki

[CONSTABLE ONE:]
Tell his reverence your story

[CONSTABLE TWO:]
Let us see if he’s impressed

[CONSTABLE ONE:]
You were lodging here last night

[CONSTABLE TWO:]
You were the honest Bishop’s guest

[CONSTABLE ONE:]
And then, out of Christian goodness

[CONSTABLE TWO:]
When he learned about your plight

[CONSTABLE ONE:]
You maintain he made a present of this silver

[BISHOP:]
That is right
But my friend you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind

[The bishop gives Valjean two silver candlesticks]

You forgot I gave these also
Would you leave the best behind?
So, Messieurs, you may release him
For this man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
And God’s blessing go with you
