Les Miserables Lyrics: A Little Fall Of Rain

Les Miserables: Libretto

EPONINE
Don’t you fret, M’sieur Marius
I don’t feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You’re here, that’s all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.

Les Miserables Lyrics: A Little Fall Of RainMARIUS
But you will live, ‘Ponine – dear God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of love.

EPONINE
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me

MARIUS
You would live a hundred years
If I could show you how
I won’t desert you now…

Les Miserables Lyrics: A Little Fall Of RainEPONINE
The rain can’t hurt me now
This rain will wash away what’s past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I’ll sleep in your embrace at last.

The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I’m at rest
A breath away from where you are
I’ve come home from so far
So don’t you fret, M’sieur Marius

Les Miserables Lyrics: A Little Fall Of RainI don’t feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now

That’s all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close

Les Miserables Lyrics: A Little Fall Of RainMARIUS(in counterpoint)
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine,
You won’t feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I’m here

I will stay with you
Till you are sleeping

Les Miserables Lyrics: A Little Fall Of RainEPONINE
And rain…

MARIUS
And rain…

EPONINE
Will make the flowers…

MARIUS
Will make the flowers… grow…

Les Miserables Lyrics: A Little Fall Of Rain(She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground)

ENJOLRAS
She is the first to fall
The first of us to fall upon this barricade

Les Miserables Lyrics: A Little Fall Of RainMARIUS
Her name was Eponine
Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid.

COMBEFERRE
We fight here in her name

PROUVAIRE
She will not die in vain.

LESGLES
She will not be betrayed.

(They carry her body off)
