On My Own (Les Misérables)
The solo did not exist in the original French show that opened in 1980 . When the English version was written , the music for `` On My Own '' was adapted from the original French solo `` L'Air de la Misère '' which was sung by Fantine about her misery and suffering . In turn , Éponine 's original French solo , `` L'un Vers L'autre '' , was dropped in the English version . In the later 1991 Parisian version , the title was `` Mon Histoire '' ( My story ) . However , `` On My Own '' has become one of the most famous and popular songs in the musical , and Éponine has become one of its most popular characters .
