Fantine's Death
Hugh Jackman & Anne Hathaway Lyrics
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
Hurry near, another day is dying
Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying?
There's a darkness which comes without a warning
But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning
Oh, Fantine, your time is running out
But Fantine, I swear this on my life
Look, Monsieur, where all the children play
Be at peace, be at peace ever more
My Cosette
Shall live in my protection
Take her now
Your child will want for nothing
Good Monsieur, you come from God in heaven
And none will ever harm Cosette as long as I am living
Take my hand, the night grows ever colder
And I will keep you warm
Take my child, I give her to your keeping
Take shelter from the storm
For God's sake, please stay 'til I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her, and I'll see her when I wake
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
Hurry near, another day is dying
There's a darkness which comes without a warning
But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning
Oh, Fantine, your time is running out
But Fantine, I swear this on my life
Look, Monsieur, where all the children play
Be at peace, be at peace ever more
My Cosette
Shall live in my protection
Take her now
Your child will want for nothing
Good Monsieur, you come from God in heaven
And none will ever harm Cosette as long as I am living
Take my hand, the night grows ever colder
And I will keep you warm
Take my child, I give her to your keeping
Take shelter from the storm
For God's sake, please stay 'til I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her, and I'll see her when I wake

@@kp4692 Yees, this song says “To love another person is to see the face of God!” And, as they are in heaven they should have loved someone, if they didn’t they wouldn’t be there. A lot of them were sinners, but it was that selfless love that made them find God and win heaven.
Javert did not love anyone and that’s why he’s not there, rejecting love was rejecting God.
The students loved freedom and people (they wanted they to had a good life and be free) and probably they loved each other (they were fiends after all and It’s not only romantic love the one that counts)
But R did not love those ideals, he loved Enjorlas. If love weren’t what he felt for him he wouldn’t be there, specially not by Enj’s side!
But, Enj should also loved someone too, if he only loved his ideals he would be just the revolutionary version of Javert: a man that only saw ideas and not people.
Yes, he lived for revolution, but that’s not enough to win heaven. Probably he loved his friends, but maybe he did love R, maybe his sacrifice made him love him.
They balanced each other, cynicism and idealism may look like oposites, but actually they completamente each other, both extreme are bad so they need to be together to come to balance.
Also, Enjorlas’s characteristic color is red while Grantaire’s color is green, two complementary colors.
Those differences kinda made them perfect for each other.
Also, Enj and the rest of revolutionaries taught people that fighting for your beliefs it was worthy, as cheesy as it sounds. And when I say people I include us, the audience, that “you” on “Do you hear the people sing” is directed to us.
It’s there to say that we should keep fighting and loving cause those are the things that will make tomorrow a better day (geez, it sound really cheesy like that but yeah)
As you say, it’s beautiful to watch them together… even in afterlife. As the song says now they are free in the garden of the Lord and… that’s just wonderful.

The Bishop is the real hero of the story. It's so appropriate to see him here.
@billfisher9238
more fitting than having Eponine welcome him after death--as in the play. she barely knew him. but the Bishop changed his life.
@UnfixedPython
@Jonathan Loh the original Valjean meets Wolverine Valjean 😂
@beccadarin758
@@billfisher9238 it was fantine.
I think it's fitting she was there. She left the world knowing her daughter would be ok, then he became a new man. Fantine gave him a new purpose.
@BrassMaster84
@@billfisher9238 The Bishop put the whole story in motion. If he hadn't "straightened out" Valjean, then Fantine, Cosette, Marius, and others would have had a much worse fate.
@erinloker4861
@@billfisher9238 I think Eponine was there in the musical because Jean Valjean saved Marius at the barricade
@alejandragutierrez7843
I heard once that Marius can hear the song of the revolution because a part of him died with his friends.
@kristenrichardson439
Oh, my gosh! That is beautiful
@sofiamuller5579
damn
@kenrize1400
Both Cosette and Marius can hear it
