La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
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.
Marius
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...
Eponine
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
I 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
Marius(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
Eponine
And rain...
Marius
And rain...
Eponine
Will make the flowers...
Marius
Will make the flowers... grow...
