Les Miserables Do you hear the people sing Sung by the 17 international Jean Valjean's, Jeff Leyton.

Hi, my name is Jeff Leyton. I represented Ireland in the line up of the 17 Jean Valjean's at the Royal Albert Hall. Its one of my favorite memories during my 15 years in Les Miserables. The song, composed by Claude-Michel Schönberg (music), Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel (original French lyrics), and Herbert Kretzmer (English lyrics) is first sung in Act I by Enjolras and the other students at the ABC Cafe as they prepare themselves to launch a rebellion in the streets of Paris during the funeral procession of General Jean Maximilien Lamarque. The song is sung again in the finale as the final song of the musical. This second version, which immediately follows a number by Jean Valjean and others, is sung by the entire cast with revised lyrics, and becomes progressively louder with each stanza.

The song is a revolutionary call for people to overcome adversity. The "barricades" referred to in the song are erected by the rebel students in the streets of Paris in the musical's second act. They are to draw the National Guard into combat and ignite a civilian uprising to overthrow the government, but their rebellion eventually fails.

Do you hear the people sing Lyrics
in different languages from the international
Jean Valjeans, at the Royal Albert Hall.

Do you hear the people sing
Singing a song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

A la volonté du peuple
Et à la santé du progrès
Das ist die Sinfonie von Menschen
Die nicht länger Sklaven sind
新たに熱い　生命が始まる
明日がきたとき　そうさ明日が

Állsz-e mellénk, hogyha kell
Kiállsz-e értünk, harcunkért
I från vår barrikad
Så kan man se ett framtidsland
Så kom med och slåss
Du ska kämpa med oss om du kan!!

Wytęż słuch to śpiewa lud
Co nie chce tkwić w niewoli znów
Van al die mensen die verdommen
Om nog langer slaaf te zijn
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Wenn du kämpfst mit ganzer Kraft
hat bald ein Ende alle Not
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance
The blood of the martyrs will
Water the meadows of France

Kan du høyre folkets song
Det er ein song frå arge menn!
Chcem tady žít už máme bídy dost i běd i svévolí
Når de dumpe trommers bud svares af stærke hjerteslag
Da skal et bedre liv gå ud i den nye dag

Will you join in our crusade
Who will be strong and stand with me
Þannig er söngur þeirra sem að
þrældóm aldrei vilja meir
Do you hear the people sing
say do you hear the distant drums
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!

One day more,
One day more,

Tomorrow we'll be far away
Tomorrow is the judgement day

Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day more.
