Can you hear the drums Enjolras?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Enjolras
You were ranting to yourself and softly reading your pamphlets
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Enjolras
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Enjolras
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Enjolras
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, for Javert
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Enjolras
Now we're old and grey Enjolras
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Enjolras?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the national guard?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Enjolras
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Javert
Though I never thought that we could lose
Passed out on the table
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Enjolras
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Enjolras
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Enjolras
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Enjolras
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Enjolras...
