Do You Hear the People Sing? Les Miserables (Ft. Original Broadway Cast of Les Misérables)

The sound of a marching drum begins]

Enjolras:
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!

[Enjolras is leading a group of young revolutionaries who are protesting against the oppressive government. The marching drum symbolizes their determination and resolve to fight for their freedom.]

When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

[Enjolras is urging the people to join their cause and fight for a better future. The beating of the drums represents the passion and energy of the revolutionaries, while "when tomorrow comes" suggests a new dawn of hope.]

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

[Enjolras is asking for volunteers to join their revolution, and challenging the people to stand up for their beliefs. The "barricade" symbolizes the barrier between the oppressed and the oppressors, and the world beyond it represents a future of freedom and justice.]

Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
