Valjean
one day more,
another day, another destiny,
this never-ending road to calvary.
these men who seem to know my crime
will surely come a second time.
One day more...
Marius
i did not live until today.
how can i live when we are parted?
Valjean
one day more...
Marius & cosette
tomorrow you'll be worlds away.
and yet with you my world has started.
Eponine
one more day all on my own.
Marius & cosette
will we ever meet again?
Eponine
one more day with him not caring.
Marius & cosette
i was born to be with you.
Eponine
what a life i might have known!
Marius & cosette
and i swear i will be true.
Eponine
but he never saw me there.
Enjolras
one more day before the storm
Marius
do i follow where she goes?
Enjolras
at the barricades of freedom.
Marius
shall i join my brothers there?
Enjolras
when our ranks begin to form
Marius
do i stay and do i dare?
Enjolras
will you take a place with me?
Chorus
the time is now.
the day is here.
Valjean
one day more!
Javert
one more day to revolution.
we will nip it in the bud.
i will join these little schoolboys.
they will wet themselves with blood.
Valjean
one day more...
Th�nardiers
watch 'em run amuck!
catch 'em as they fall!
never know your luck
when there's a free-for-all!
Here a little dip!
there a little touch!
most of them are goners
so they won't miss much!
Rebel students
1st group
one day to a new beginning.
2nd group
raise the flag of freedom high!
1st group
ev'ry man will be a king!
2nd group
ev'ry man will be a king!
1st group
there's a new world for the winning!
2nd group
there's a new world to be won!
Both groups
do you hear the people sing?
Marius
my place is here,
i fight with you!
All succeeding lines are sung in counterpoint until unison finale
Valjean
one day more!
Marius & cosette
i did not live until today.
Javert
i will join these people's heroes.
Th�nardiers
watch 'em run amuck!
Javert
i will follow where they go.
Th�nardiers
catch 'em as they fall!
Eponine
one more day all on my own.
Marius & cosette
how can i live when we are parted?
Javert
i will learn their little secrets.
Th�nardiers
here a little dip!
Javert
i will know the things they know.
Th�nardiers
there a little touch!
Valjean
one day more!
Marius & cosette
tomorrow you'll be worlds away.
Javert
one day more to revolution.
Th�nardiers
watch 'em run amuck!
Javert
we will nip it in the bud.
Th�nardiers

Eponine
what a life i might have known!
Th�nardiers
never know your luck
when there's a free-for-all!
Marius & cosette
and yet with you my world has started.
Javert
we'll be ready for these schoolboys.
Valjean
tomorrow we'll be far away.
Valjean & javert
tomorrow is the judgment day.
All
tomorrow we'll discover what our god in heaven has in store.
one more dawn,
one more day,
one day more!
