The context goes like this. Eponine was in love with her best friend Marius. Marius was involved with the revolution thingy and had asked Eponine to pass to Cosette his lover letter to her. On her way back after passing the letter she was shot... When she arrived, Marius had asked her whether she had passed Cosette the letter, failing to notice that she was wounded. After explaining that she had done what he had asked her to, she collapsed in his arms. All this while Marius didn't know that Eponine was in love with him until she sang this song b4 she died. Thereby this song called A little Drop of Rain.

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...

(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

MARIUS
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)<
