First Attack

Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!

Troops behind them, fifty men or more!

Fire!

Sniper!

See how they run away!

By God, we've won the day!

They will be back again

Make an attack again

For your presence of mind

For the deed you have done

I will thank you, Monsieur

When our battle is won

Give me no thanks, Monsieur

There's something you can do

If it is in my power

Give me the spy Javert

Let me take care of him!

The law is inside out

The world is upside down

Do what you have to do

The man belongs to you

The enemy may be regrouping

Hold yourselves in readiness

Come on, my friends, back to your positions

The night is falling fast

We meet again

You've hungered for this all your life

Take your revenge

How right you should kill with a knife

You talk too much

Your life is safe in my hands

Don't understand

Get out of here

Valjean, take care

I'm warning you

Clear out of here

Once a thief, forever a thief

What you want you always steal

You would trade your life for mine?

Yes, Valjean, you want a deal

Shoot me now for all I care!

If you let me go, beware

You'll still answer to Javert!

You are wrong, and always have been wrong

I'm a man, no worse than any man

You are free, and there are no conditions

No bargains or petitions

There's nothing that I blame you for

You've done your duty, nothing more

If I come out of this alive, you'll find me

At number fifty-five Rue Plumet

No doubt our paths will cross again

Courfeyrac, you take the watch

They won't attack until it's light

Everybody stay awake

We must be ready for the fight

For the final fight

Let no one sleep tonight
