La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la Hush now, do not be afraid of me Don't hide, show me where you live Tell me my child, what is your name? I'm called Cosette I found her wandering in the woods, this little child I found her trembling in the shadows And I am here to help Cosette I will settle any debt you may think proper I will pay what I must pay To take Cosette away I love you What to do, what to say? Shall you carry our treasure away? What a gem, what a pearl Beyond rubies is our little girl How can we talk of debt? Let's not haggle for darling, Colette Cosette Dear Fontaine, go on to rest Have we done for our child what is best, I think so Shared our bread, shared each bone Treated her like she's one of our own Like our own monsieur Your feelings to you credit, sir And I will ease the party blow Let us not talk of bargains and bones and greed Now may I say we are agreed That would quite fit the bill If she hadn't so often been ill Little dear, cost us dear Medicines are expensive, monsieur Not that we begrudge the soul It's no more than we Christians must do No more words Here's your price Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice Come, Cosette Say goodbye Let us seek out some friendlier sky Thank you both for Cosette It won't take you too long to forget Where I go, you will be Will you be like a papa to me? Yes, Cosette, this is true I'll be father and mother to you
