[COMBEFERRE]
Enjolras!
At Notre Dame
The sections are prepared!
[FEUILLY]
At rue de Bac
They're straining at the leash!
[COURFEYRAC]
Students, workers, everyone
There's a river on the run
Like the flowing of the tide
Paris coming to our side!
[ENJOLRAS]
The time is near
So near, it's stirring the blood in their veins
And yet beware
Don't let the wine go to your brains
For the army we fight is a dangerous foe
With the men and the arms that we never can match
Oh, it's easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies
But the national guard will be harder to catch
We need a sign
To rally the people
To call them to arms
To bring them in line!
[MARIUS enters]
Marius, you're late
[JOLY]
What's wrong today?
You look as if you've seen a ghost
[GRANTAIRE]
Some wine and say what's going on
[MARIUS]
A ghost you say, a ghost maybe
She was just like a ghost to me
One minute there, and she was gone
[GRANTAIRE]
I am agog
I am aghast
Is Marius in love at last
I have never seen him 'ooh' and 'aah'
You talk of battles to be won
But here he comes like Don Ju-an
It's better than an o-per-a!
[ENJOLRAS]
It is time for us all
To decide who we are
Do we fight for the right
To a night at the opera now?
Have you asked of yourselves
What's the price you might pay?
Is it simply a game
For rich young boys to play?
The color of the world
Is changing day by day
Red - the blood of angry men
Black - the dark of ages past
Red - a world about to dawn
Black - the night that ends at last
[MARIUS]
Had you been there tonight
You might know how it feels
To be struck to the bone
In a moment of breathless delight
Had you been there tonight
You might also have known
How the world may be changed
In just one burst of light
And what was right
Seems wrong
And what was wrong
Seems right
[GRANTAIRE]
Red
[MARIUS]
I feel my soul on fire
[GRANTAIRE]
Black
[MARIUS]
My world if she's not there
[ALL]
Red
[MARIUS]
The color of desire
[ALL]
Black
[MARIUS]
The color of despair
[ENJOLRAS]
Marius, you're no longer a child
I do not doubt you mean it well
But now there is a higher call
Who cares about your lonely soul
We strive toward a larger goal
Our little lives don't count at all
[ALL]
Red - the blood of angry men
Black - the dark of ages past
Red - a world about to dawn
Black - the night that ends at last

Grantaire toasting with himself is perfect.

[@bernkastel_frederica]

Wow. I've seen a lot of Les Amis in my day, but this might be my favorite rendition of this scene. Enjolras, Marius and Grantaire all capture their characters and their little moments here absolutely perfectly. There's a lot more than just pretty voices behind these characters. Seriously among the best I've ever seen.

I miss the revolving stage!

[@CarlMcKenzie]

I'm surprised this only has 575 views - plenty of objectively worse recordings of this song have over a hundred thousand views.

[@ACMallet]

I can't monetize the channel because of copyrighted material so it doesn't matter much how many people view it.
