Alain Boublil - The Barricade Lyrics

[The barricade is now complete.]

[COMBEFERRE, FEUILLY, COURFEYRAC & PROUVAIRE]
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 do not be afraid

[GRANTAIRE]
Let's give 'em a screwing they'll never forget!

[COMBEFERRE]
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 thеy dare
We'll be thеre!

[STUDENTS, spoken]
He's back!
Mister Volunteer!
[JAVERT]
Listen my friends, I have done as I said
I have been to their lines
I have counted each man
I will tell what I can

Better be warned, they have armies to spare
And our danger is real
We will need all our cunning
To bring them to heel

[ENJOLRAS]
Have faith!
If you know what their movements are
We'll spoil their game
There are ways that a people can fight
We shall overcome their power

[JAVERT]
I have overheard their plans
There will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve us out
Before they start a proper fight
Concentrate their force
Hit us from the right
[GAVROCHE, spoken]
Liar!

[GAVROCHE]
Good evening, dear Inspector
Lovely evening, my dear
I know this man, my friends
His name's Inspector Javert
So don't believe a word he says
'Cause none of it's true
This only goes to show
What little people can do

[GRANTAIRE]
Bravo, little Gavroche!
You're the top of the class!

[PROUVAIRE]
So what are we gonna do
With this snake in the grass?

[ENJOLRAS]
Tie this man and take him
To the tavern in there
The people will decide your fate
Inspector Javert!
[JAVERT]
Shoot me now or shoot me later
Every schoolboy to his sport
Death to each and every traitor
I renounce your people's court

[ENJOLRAS]
Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do

[JOLY, spoken]
There's a boy climbing the barricade!

[A shot rings out. ÉPONINE climbs over the barricade.]

[MARIUS, spoken]
It's fine
