Red and Black
[00:00.68] (The ABC Cafe, where the students, led by Enjolras,
[00:01.75] meet to discuss their revolutionary plans)
[00:10.51] (COMBEFERRE)
[00:12.63] At Notre Dame the sections are prepared!
[00:14.50] (FEUILLY)
[00:14.69] At rue de Bac they're straining at the leash!
[00:16.35] (COURFEYRAC)
[00:16.55] Students, workers, everyone
[00:18.21] There's a river on the run
[00:19.80] Like the flowing of the tide
[00:21.39] Paris coming to our side!
[00:22.73] (ENJORAS)
[00:23.79] The time is near
[00:27.25] So near it's stirring the blood in their veins!
[00:30.96] And yet beware
[00:34.94] Don't let the wine go to your brains!
[00:39.73] For the army we fight is a dangerous foe
[00:42.93] With the men and the arms that we never can match
[00:45.84] It is easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies
[00:48.76] But the national guard will be harder to catch.
[00:51.96] We need a sign
[00:54.61] To rally the people
[00:56.20] To call them to arms
[00:58.05] To bring them in line!
[00:58.12] (Marius enters)
[00:58.65] Marius, you're late.
[00:59.45] (JOLY)
[01:02.11] What's wrong today?
[01:04.76] You look as if you've seen a ghost.
[01:06.25] (GRANTAIRE)
[01:06.79] Some wine and say what's going on!
[01:09.18] (MARIUS)
[01:12.14] A ghost you say... a ghost maybe
[01:15.05] She was just like a ghost to me
[01:18.51] One minute there, and she was gone!
[01:20.10] (GRANTAIRE)
[01:24.91] I am agog
[01:26.76] I am aghast
[01:28.36] Is Marius in love at last?
[01:31.27] I've never heard him `ooh' and `aah'
[01:38.18] You talk of battles to be won
[01:41.37] And here he comes like Don Ju-an
[01:45.36] It's better than an o-per-a!
[01:46.41] (ENJOLRAS)
[02:03.71] It is time for us all
[02:05.31] To decide who we are
[02:10.37] Do we fight for the right
[02:11.97] To a night at the opera now?
[02:16.75] Have you asked of yourselves
[02:18.61] What's the price you might pay?
[02:23.12] Is it simply a game
[02:24.75] For rich young boys to play?
[02:27.42] The color of the world
[02:30.33] Is changing day by day...
[02:35.60] Red - the blood of angry men!
[02:40.41] Black - the dark of ages past!
[02:45.18] Red - a world about to dawn!
[02:49.43] Black - the night that ends at last!
[02:51.02] (MARIUS)
[02:56.35] Had you been there tonight
[02:57.94] You might know how it feels
[03:02.45] To be struck to the bone
[03:04.31] In a moment of breathless delight!
[03:08.83] Had you been there tonight
[03:10.43] You might also have known
[03:14.96] How the world may be changed
[03:16.81] In just one burst of light!
[03:19.46] And what was right seems wrong
[03:22.38] And what was wrong seems right!
[03:23.21] (GRANTAIRE)
[03:27.47] Red...
[03:28.25] (MARIUS)
[03:28.79] I feel my soul on fire!
[03:29.83] (GRANTAIRE)
[03:31.98] Black...
[03:32.75] (MARIUS)
[03:33.04] My world if she's not there!
[03:35.14] (ALL)
[03:36.49] Red...
[03:37.52] (MARIUS)
[03:37.82] The color of desire!
[03:40.45] (ALL)
[03:41.00] Black...
[03:42.05] (MARIUS)
[03:42.60] The color of despair!
[03:44.70] (ENJOLRAS)
[03:48.15] Marius, you're no longer a child
[03:50.80] I do not doubt you mean it well
[03:53.73] But now there is a higher call.
[03:58.51] Who cares about your lonely soul?
[04:01.70] We strive toward a larger goal
[04:04.62] Our little lives don't count at all!
[04:05.68] (ALL)
[04:08.12] Red - the blood of angry men!
[04:12.58] Black - the dark of ages past!
[04:17.11] Red - a world about to dawn!
[04:21.63] Black - the night that ends at last!
