Fantine’s Death

Cosette, it's turned so cold

Cosette, it's past your bedtime

You've played the day away

And soon it will be night

Come to me, Cosette, the light is fading

Don't you see the evening star appearing?

Come to me and rest against my shoulder

How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder

Dear Fantine, Cosette will be here soon

Dear Fantine, she will be by your side

Come Cosette, my child, where did you go?

Be at peace, be at peace evermore

My Cosette, she'll live in my protection

Take her now

Your child will want for nothing

Good Monsieur, you come from God in Heaven

Tell Cosette I love her

And I'll see her when I wake
