"Do You Hear the People Sing?" (also known as "The People's Song") is one of the principle and most recognizable songs from the musical. It takes place after ABC Café / Red and Black. After it was announced that General Lamarque has died, Enjolras and The Friends of the ABC revolt against the way of living. The song is sung near the end of the first act, and is once again sung by almost the entire cast at the end of the musical's Finale. Instrumentally, the theme is also prominent in the battle scenes. In the 2012 film, it is performed after One Day More.
The lyrics were written by Herbert Kretzmer.
Lyrics [ ]
Enjolras:
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!
Combeferre:
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?
Courfeyrac:
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free...
Chorus:
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!
Feuilly:
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!
Chorus:
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!
