Music

Do you hear the people sing?

• edit source:
  在音乐剧《悲惨世界》的第一幕中，拉马克将军（général Lamarque）的丧葬队伍正在行进，当安灼拉（Enjolras）与ABC朋友社的其他学生准备涌上巴黎街头进行反抗时演唱了这首歌。在音乐剧结尾则是由冉阿让（Jean Valjean）和整个剧团再次演唱。每一节的歌词都有所改动且感情越来越强烈。

歌曲内容号召人们迎难而上进行革命。歌曲提到的路障是第二幕中起义的学生们在巴黎街头竖立起来的。他们需要国民自卫军一同参与战斗，发动人民起义推翻政府。但他们的反抗最后以失败告终。From Wikipedia

A段
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes.
B段
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
C段
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
