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
That 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 they dare
We'll be there!
Army officer
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!
