Do you hear the people sing? - Les Miserables - High res, w/ lyrics

 

- a Short Description and Why you find it interesting

   Les Miserables is one of the four famous musicals that are Miss saigon, the Phantom of the opera, Cats, and Les Miserables, in the world. Les Miserables talks about the poor, sufferings of people and civil revolution broken out in France. There were many attractive songs, but what I recommend and introduce is 'Do you hear the people sing'. I am sure that no matter who you are got deeply touched as soon as you listen to this and get addicted to this. As soon as I watched, I just started singing along.

 

  This song is many people sing togetehr to express their hopes to be free at the battle that was between civil troops andgoverment forces. Everytime I watched this scene, I could also hear the beating of my heart like second line in this song. It makes me very excited and feel my heart pounding.

 

- Language Learning Point

  Maybe I repeated 20 times more, but sadly I couldn't hear several parts of  lylics. Those are 'there is life about to start when tomorrow comes', 'will you stand up and take your chance', and 'The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France'.

  So I checked lylics through internet, but last one, 'The blood of the martys will water the meadows of France' is still too difficult to understand due to a prolong sound in English. So.... I decided to memorize this part.

 

Here is  lylics of this song

 

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the 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!

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

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

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the 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!

Will you give all you can give
so that our banner may advance?
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!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the 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!
