Lyrics Les Miserables Cast – First Attack

Various students:
Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!
Troops behind them, fifty men or more!

Enjolras:

Feuilly:
Sniper!

Bossuet:
See how they run away!

Grantaire:
By god, we’ve won the day!

Enjolras:
They will be back again
Make an attack again

For your presence of mind
For the deed you have done
I will thank you, monsieur
When our battle is won

Valjean:
Give me no thanks, monsieur
There is something that you can do

Enjolras:
If it is in my power…

Valjean:
Give me the spy Javert
Let me take care of him

Javert:
The law is inside out
The world is upside down

Enjolras:

The enemy may be regrouping
Hold yourselves in readiness
Come on, my friends, back to your positions
The night is falling fast…

Valjean:
We meet again

Javert:
You’ve hungered for this all your life
Take your revenge
How right you should kill with a knife!

Valjean:
You talk too much
Your life is safe in my hands

Javert:
I don’t understand

Valjean:
Get out of here

Javert:
Valjean, take care
I’m warning you…

Valjean:
Clear out of here

Javert:
Once a thief, forever a thief
What you want you always steal!
You would trade your life for mine
Yes, Valjean, you want a deal
Shoot me now for all I care!
If you let me go beware
You’ll still answer to Javert!

Valjean:
You are wrong, and always have been wrong
I’m a man, no worse than any man
You are free, and there are no conditions
No bargains or petitions
There’s nothing that I blame you for
You’ve done your duty, nothing more
If I come out of this alive, you’ll find me
At number fifty-five Rue Plumet
No doubt our paths will cross again

Enjolras:
Courfeyrac, you take the watch
They won’t attack until it’s light
Everybody stay awake
We must be ready for the fight
For the final fight
Let no one sleep tonight
