Lyrics[]
[The barricade is now complete.]
Students:
Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade.
Marius:
Let them come in their legions,
And they will be met!
Enjolras:
Have faith in yourselves
And don't be afraid.
Grantaire:
Let's give 'em a screwing
They'll never forget!
Combferre:
This is where it begins!
Courfeyrac:
And if I should die in the fight to be free
Where the fighting is hardest
There will I be.
Feuilly:
Let them come if they dare.
We'll be there!

Army Officer: [Off-stage, with a loud-hailer.]
You at the barricade listen to this!
No one is coming to help you to fight!
You're on your own
You have no friends
Give up your guns - or die!
Enjolras:
Damn their warnings.
Damn their lies!
They will see the people rise!
Students:
Damn their warnings.
Damn their lies!
They will see the people rise!
