The Second Attack (Death of Gavroche)

Enjolras

The people have not stirred.

We are abandoned by those who still live in fear.

Let us not waste lives, let all who wish to go from here.

 

 

Gavroche

Do you here the people sing, singing a song of angry men. It is the music...

 

All

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

 

Gavroche

Little people know,

When little people fight,

We may look easy pickings But we've got some bite!

 

So never kick a dog

Because he's just a pup

 

We'll fight like twenty armies

And we won't give up.

 

So you'd better run for cover

When the pup grows -

Army Officer

[With loud hailer.]
You at the barricade listen to this
The people of Paris sleep in their beds
You have no chance
No chance at all
Why throw your lives away?

Enjolras
Let us die facing our foes
Make them bleed while we can.

Combeferre
Make 'em pay through the nose.

Courfeyrac
Make 'em pay for every man!

Enjolras
Let others rise
To take our place
Until the earth is free!
