[@gavroche1392]

Écoutez cette chanson (donnez donnez) me met le frisson, je l'ai interprète sur scène dans un spectacle musical, il y a 40 ans.... Je m'en souviens comme si c'était hier......... La grande difficulté c'est qu'il n'y a pas de support musical qui permet de suivre la mélodie... Le chanteur à sa propre mélodie..... Waouh....

I love this Gavroche. Most of them are way too cutesy and plucky. This kid has grit.

[@Babe01D]

Seamus That’s the dog Fabrice PLOQUIN le meilleur et l’original des années 1980 (version Robert Hossein)

[@itsthequietones]

I like this Gavroche. He sounds more raw, like he could actually be a street kid, not the charming little boy some productions use.

[@rationaltrekker2509]

Yes, his raw anger is projected in his voice. There's nothing cute or sweet about Gavroche in this version. He's a hardened street kid and Fabrice Ploquin nailed the performance. I speak Spanish and I can pick up quite a bit of the French, but not all of it, from that. From what I can pick up, the lyrics are also much more raw, reflecting Gavroche's life on the streets of Paris, having been kicked out of the house by his parents, the Thérnardiers.

[@brooke8248]

Holy hell. I was wondering, after reading the comments, how I would feel as an English speaker already having seen the more recent Les Mis... I hit play and DAYYYUUUMM !!

[@markandersh]

I definitely agree. The boy playing Gavroche, was 12 in an interview I saw, if I caught it correctly (I speak Spanish and had to use that to pick out French). He has a powerful voice and injects the raw anger and confidence I would expect from a kid who was kicked out just for being a boy, but learned to survive on the streets.

[@ianwestc]

I agree, I think this is the best Gavroche I've ever heard. In all the English-language, he's a bit too cute, both in manner and singing style. This Gavroche has an edge to him.

[@alittlebitanna]

I love that they didn't originally have Marius giving the Lamarque speech with Enjolras. Much truer to the book that way.

[@NSaynKnutt]

I like this Gavroche ten times better than any of the English ones.

[@desibroadwayboy6897]

Yes I think they should’ve kept the lyrics the same

[@thefoundationsofdeslay]

Jesus, that Enjolras part, absolutely stunning, my mouth is still open from ... wow

[@hedibelhaj962]

J'ai participé en 1999 dans une comédie musicale les Misérables c'etait a l'hotel club les Colombes a Hammamet Tunisie. Le nom du réalisateur c'est Marc. Ces chansons ont été joués en playback !!!!

[@gavroche1392]

Moi j'ai joué gavroche dans un spectacle musical en 1984.....j'ai chante en live.... Waouh.... Waouh... Quand je l'écoute j'ai la chair de poule... J'avais fait la mise en scène, 200 participants.... 1500 spectateurs.... 1 an de travail, non de plaisir..... 3h de spectacle en 2 parties, avec un orchestre philharmonique.. Dans 3 petites villes, au profit des anciens... C'était bien,..... J'ai des souvenirs plein la tête, ils m'appartiennent.... J'avoue quand je regarde mes vieilles vidéos,...... Je pleure..... de plein de choses.....

[@WillowTitov]

this has much darker feeling and much more grungy emotion than in the english version

[@Sawrattan]

Willow Lackett it feels more aggressive than even the French 1991 version... partly because of the 80s electric bass sounds and also gavroche sounds like a real child thug in this one

[@rationaltrekker2509]

Yeah, the kid in this recording is amazing and captures the anger of Gavroche. It's not explicitly stated in the play, but in the book, Gavroche is the son of the Thérnardiers. He was kicked out when he was like 7 just for being a boy. Later his two little brothers suffer the same fate. He ends up caring for them but they don't know they are related. They capture a little of this in the movie where they show the big hollow elephant the they sleep in.

[@julial.7186]

"Faut qu'j'affranchisse les gens d'la haute C'est pas Versailles pour l'élégance Mais d'puis qu'on a raccourci l'autre Versailles, ça manque plutôt d'ambiance" "I have to set free the high society It's not Versailles for the elegance But since we shortened the other guy [Louis XVI] Versailles really lack of atmosphere" Ce Gavroche est le meilleur déso pas déso, sa voix n'est pas seulement crue et belle, ses paroles sont très profondes, pleines d'ironie et d'humour face à une réalité qu'il voit d'un oeil adulte. Un enfant ne devrait pas avoir cette acuité et tout cet humour noir et ce sarcasme. Il porte la cause avec une distance adulte mais je ne sais pas si on peut considérer ca comme de la maturité juste comme un enfant qui est obligé de vivre avec les horreurs d'un monde d'adulte... This version of Gavroche is absolutly the best with my pov. He doesn't have just a raw and beautifull voice but really deep lyrics when you think of it. He doesn't see the world like a child, he lives in the horror of an adult world, he has this black humor and sarcasm and he sees politics like an adult but i don't think that's maturity just a shell, a shield to face the destitution....

[@mikeor-]

Louis XVI was an absolute monarch, just like his successors, Louis XVIII and Charles X. The last bourbon Monarchs, Henri V and Louis XIX were not crowned, much like Louis XVII. Henri V ruled for only seven days. Louis XIX had the shortest reign in history, lasting only twenty minutes before he too, abdicated. Louis-Philippe, while called King of the French, was the first (and really, only) Constitutional Monarch of France.

[@the1ndiegamer811]

Wow, such strenght in this version. This is amazing. Wow *mind blown* and multuple eargasms once gavroche started to sing... Simply amazing, he has such strenght in his voice. Wow, Enjoras is amazing in this version aswell. Also very strong voice. This entire song has so much power in french than it has in the english version, the english isn't bad tho, it's excelent aswell. But this one tops it of by far. I love les miserables. And greetings from sweden.

[@jfgambie9778]

Translation: Beggars: Give us, give us, give to the poor beggars. To give, to give, is to serve the Lord, Give us, give us, ladies and gentlemen. To give, to give, is to earns one's place in heaven. Gavroche: Bonjour, Paris, it is I, Gavroche! Here is my family, here's my home, Nothing is in my hands, nothing in my pockets, Everything is in my heart of song, I have no money, but what matters it? I see clearly throughout the night, From la Glaciere to Belleville, And from Montmartre to Montsouris The timid, the big shots, follow me, follow the guide! Beggars: Give us, give us, give to the poor beggars. To give, to give, is to serve the Lord, Give us, give us, ladies and gentlemen. To give, to give, is to earns one's place in heaven. Gavroche: People from the upper classes must be freed, It is not Versailles for elegance, But since we have squeezed the other, In Versailles it's hard to breathe, It's more than the devil at the Tuileries, We must be smarter than the locksmith, I like his trade, I like his effigy, Minted on all of these coins. Long live me, not the king! Ca ira! Ca ira! Enjolras: Fortunately for those upper classes, There is one who looks out for us, Only one man, General Lamarque Who speaks for us here sometimes, Lamarque, they say is very ill, How long has he left to go? With all the rioting in Paris, The city is become like a volcano, Ready to at last erupt In the fires of Revolution! Gavroche: The leader of these rioters Is Thénardier, from Montfermeil That his tavern is left over there, For in Paname, there's no more sorrel, He makes all his family work for him, Even his Eponine, Gavroche in petticoats, Whose heart falters not for a round. It may be scarce for food, and too cold, But at least, I am not bored. Beggars: Give us, give us, give to the poor beggars. To give, to give, is to serve the Lord, Give us, give us, ladies and gentlemen. To give, to give, is to earns one's place in heaven. Thenardier: I repeat, each to their own position, Babet, Claquesous, to your places, You, Montparnasse, keep its watch Be careful with 'Ponine, I do not want to see her harmed again, Nor do I want to miss my chance, Here comes a man who is a mishmash, If he has a heart, two money that weeps there That shouts bravo, again, bis This is where we hit hard, At the casks themselves. Mme. Thenardier: Here is the student who comes Our deprived neighbor Of a rich grandfather And who doesn't want to let him go. Marius: Bonjour, Mademoiselle Eponine, What are you doing there? Eponine: Things that morality represses, So that we will have food to eat.

[@sandalphon6596]

Gavroche chante tellement bien

[@veronikaberesova9793]

Peut-etre il est deja ici ce type de commentaire, mais je dois dire que "Heureusement qu'chez les gens d'la haute" n'est pas Enjolras. C'est Michel Sardou qui chante Enjolras et je suis sure que ca n'est pas sa voix. Mais tout en tout, j'adore la version francaise, ce sont aussi Les Misérables et cette version tres génial grace a quoi je trouve mon amour pour la France encore et encore.

[@nadrassheelf]

exact, probablement une doublure voix lors du spectacle ou bien du concept album ( aucun des chanteurs n'apparait sur le disque original) Et Sardou/Enjolras était parfait.

[@markandersh]

Not directly, from what I can tell. His third verse might be interpreted as alluding to the fact. He is talking about Eponine being used by her father to catch "pigeons" and calls her "Gavroche in a skirt." It's a stretch to said this means that he (Gavroche" is related, but it might be understood as a subtle allusion to the fact. That whole verse - by the mere fact that he knows Thérnardier so well, might also be understood as alluding to his relationship to them without saying it outright.

So I read the screenplay for the film when it was online a couple of weeks ago, and saw that they've added a translated version of Gavroche's second verse! Though it seems that the cost for that was cutting the third verse... still, should be interesting to see.

go for the edge!Gravache is NOT cutesy. Any kid who deliberitly goes and stealsbullets from dead soldiers in an ACTIVE WAR ZONE is not cutesy. He is the rejected son of ternardier, the brother who has just seen his sister shot and killed. He lives on the streets, he is father to his brothers, he Is jack Dawkins (The Artful Dodger) from france. but less artsy and more dodger. and he has nerve and plenty of it.

[@idkwhyimadeaccounts]

Do they mention Gavroche being related to the Thenardier family in this version?

C'est dingue que cette comédie musicale ne soit pas plus connue en France...! Ce que les Anglais (qui ont du goût, eux, ils ont gardé cette comédie, nous on a Mozart l'opéra-rock...!), c'est que le livret original est très très proche du texte de Victor Hugo, certains textes sont entièrement de lui.
