Claude-Michel Schonberg - At The Barricade lyrics

ENJOLRAS

Here upon these stones

We will build our barricade

In the heart of the city

We claim as our own!

Each man to his duty

And don't be afraid.

Wait! I will need a report

On the strength of the foe.

JAVERT(disguised as a rebel)

I can find out the truth

I know their ways

Fought their wars

Served my time

In the days

Of my youth.

PROUVAIRE

Now the people will fight

GRANTAIRE

And so they might

Dogs will bark

Fleas will bite.

LESGLES

They will do what is right!

(Marius spots Eponine, who is dressed as a boy)

MARIUS

Hey, little boy, what's this I see?

God, Eponine, the things you do!

EPONINE

I know this is no place for me,

Still, I would rather be with you!

MARIUS

Get out before the trouble starts.

Get out, 'Ponine, you might get shot!

EPONINE

I've got you worried now, I have

That shows you like me quite a lot!

MARIUS

There is a way that you can help

You are the answer to a prayer!

Please take this letter to Cosette

And pray to God that she's still there!

EPONINE

Little you know!

Little you care!

(She walks to the Rue Plumet, where she meets Valjean)

EPONINE

I have a letter M'sieur

It's addressed to your daughter, Cosette

It's from a boy at the barricade, Sir,

In the Rue de Villette.

VALJEAN

Give me that letter here, my boy.

EPONINE

He said to give it to Cosette

VALJEAN

You have my word that my daughter will know

What this letter contains.

(He gives her a coin)

Tell the young man she will read it tomorrow

And here's for your pains

Go careful now, stay out of sight

There's danger in the streets tonight.

(He opens the letter... and reads it)

"Dearest Cosette, you have entered my soul

And soon you will be gone.

Can it be only a day since we met

And the world was reborn?

If I should fall in the battle to come

Let this be my goodbye...

Now that I know you love me as well

It is harder to die...

I pray that god will bring me home

To be with you.

Pray for your Marius. He prays for you!"

(Valjean goes in, leaving Eponine alone)
