[Chorus]
Ring out the bells upon this day of days
May all the angels of the Lord above
In jubilation, sing their songs of praise
(In jubilation, sing their songs of praise)
And crown this blessed time
(And crown this blessed time)
With peace and love
(Peace and love)

[MAJOR DOMO]
The Baron and Baroness de Thenard!

[MARIUS]
Go away, Thenardier!
Do you think I don't know who you are?

[MADAME THENARDIER]
He's not fooled! Told you so
Show M'sieur what you've come here to show
Tell the boy what you know!

[THENARDIER]
Pity to disturb you at a feast like this
But five hundred francs surеly wouldn't come amiss
[MARIUS, spoken]
In God's name, say what you have to say

[MADAME THENARDIER, spoken]
Hе speaks, you pay!

[THENARDIER]
What I saw, clear as light
Jean Valjean in the sewers one night
Had this corpse on his back
Some boy he had killed in a vicious attack
I was there, never fear
Even found me this fine souvenir

[MARIUS]
I know this. This is mine
This is surely some heavenly sign!
Then it's true. Then I'm right
Jean Valjean was my savior that night

[THENARDIER]
Jean Valjean, the old con
You'll pay up or I'll say where he's gone

[MARIUS, spoken]
Where is he?
[THENARDIER]
The convent!
