Look Down

Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down,
You're here until you die
 
Now prisoner 24601
Your time is up
And your parole's begun
You know what that means.
 
Yes, it means I'm free.
 
No!
Follow to the letter your itinerary
This badge of shame you'll show until you die
It warns you're a dangerous man
 
I stole a loaf of bread.
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving.
 
You will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law.
 
I know the meaning of those 19 years
A slave of the law
 
Five years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes, 24601.
 
My name is Jean Valjean
 
And I am Javert
Do not forget my name!
Do not forget me,
24601.
 
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave.
 
Free at last,
How strange it is.
Never forget the years,
The waste.
 
Nor forgive them,
For what they've done!
They are the guilty!
Every one!
 
The day begins
And now let's see,
What this new world
Will do for me!
 
Translation

Tunduk

Tunduk, tunduk
Jangan kau mengadah
Tunduk, tunduk
Disini hingga mati
 
Tahanan 24601*
Habis waktumu
Mulai parolemu
Apa artinya?
 
Artinya kini ku bebas.
 
Salah!
Bawa surat perjalananmu
Bawa hingga akhir hidupmu
Bukti bahwa kau berbahaya
 
Ku hanya curi sepotong roti.
Anak saudariku bisa mati
Kami lapar.
 
Dan akan lapar lagi
Hingga kau paham artinya hukum.
 
Aku paham artinya setelah 19 tahun berlalu
Budak dari hukum
 
Lima tahun karena ulahmu
Sisanya karena kau coba kabur
Ya, 24601.
 
Namaku Jean Valjean
 
Dan aku Javert
Jangan lupa aku!
Jangan lupakan
24601.
 
Tunduk, tunduk
Budak selamanya
Tunduk, tunduk
Di atas kuburmu
 
Akhirnya bebas,
Sungguh ganjil ini.
Takkan lupakan waktu,
Yang terbuang.
 
Takkan ampuni,
Yang m'reka perbuat!
M'reka bersalah!
Tiapnya!
 
Hari baru
Lihatlah mari,
Dunia baru ini
Bagiku kini!
