ABC Café / Red and Black - Live

[00:12.89] At Notre Dame,
[00:13.68] The sections are prepared!
[00:14.90] At Rue de Bac,
[00:15.79] They're straining at the leash!
[00:16.86] Students, workers, everyone,
[00:18.64] There's a river on the run,
[00:20.30] Like the flowing of the tide,
[00:22.20] Paris coming to our side!
[00:24.23] The time is near...
[00:27.91] So near, it's stirring the blood in their veins!
[00:31.96] And yet beware...
[00:35.70] Don't let the wine go to your brains!
[00:41.18] For the army we fight is a dangerous foe
[00:44.19] With the men and the arms that we never can match.
[00:47.04] Oh, it's easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies,
[00:50.10] But the national guard will be harder to catch.
[00:53.02] We need a sign
[00:55.70] To rally the people,
[00:56.92] To call them to arms,
[00:58.52] To bring them in line!
[01:03.00] Marius, you're late.
[01:04.34] What's wrong today?
[01:05.75] You look as if you've seen a ghost.
[01:07.81] Some wine and say what's going on!
[01:11.73] A ghost you say... a ghost maybe.
[01:15.22] She was just like a ghost to me.
[01:18.65] One minute there, and she was gone!
[01:24.93] I am agog!
[01:26.27] I am aghast!
[01:28.41] Is Marius in love at last?
[01:31.59] I have never heard him 'ooh' and 'aah.'
[01:37.96] You talk of battles to be won,
[01:41.08] But here he comes like Don Ju-an.
[01:44.29] It's better than an opera!
[02:01.45] It is time for us all
[02:03.34] To decide who we are.
[02:07.84] Do we fight for the right
[02:09.14] To a night at the opera now?
[02:13.85] Have you asked of yourselves
[02:15.28] What's the price you might pay?
[02:18.94] Is it simply a game
[02:19.62] For rich young boys to play?
[02:22.37] The color of the world
[02:25.23] Is changing day by day.
[02:29.73] Red - the blood of angry men!
[02:33.94] Black - the dark of ages past!
[02:38.17] Red - a world about to dawn!
[02:42.48] Black - the night that ends at last!
[02:49.40] Had you been there tonight
[02:50.48] You might know how it feels
[02:54.63] To be struck to the bone
[02:56.22] In a moment of breathless delight!
[03:00.48] Had you been there tonight
[03:01.79] You might also have known
[03:06.00] How the world may be changed
[03:07.61] In just one burst of light!
[03:10.06] And what was right
[03:11.04] Seems wrong,
[03:12.66] And what was wrong
[03:13.93] Seems right.
[03:17.35] Red...
[03:18.45] I feel my soul on fire!
[03:21.38] Black...
[03:22.68] My world if she's not there!
[03:25.56] Red...
[03:26.98] The color of desire!
[03:29.86] Black...
[03:31.42] The color of despair!
[03:36.12] Marius, you're no longer a child.
[03:40.16] I do not doubt you mean it well,
[03:41.74] But now there is a higher call.
[03:45.48] Who cares about your lonely soul?
[03:47.55] We strive toward a larger goal.
[03:49.90] Our little lives don't count at all!
[03:53.62] Red - the blood of angry men!
[03:57.89] Black - the dark of ages past!
[04:02.04] Red - a world about to dawn!
[04:06.59] Black - the night that ends at last!
[04:30.15] Well, Courfeyrac, do we have all the guns?
[04:31.94] Feuilly, Combeferre, our time is running short.
[04:34.18] Grantaire, put the bottle down!
[04:36.08] Do we have the guns we need?
[04:37.55] Give me brandy on my breath
[04:39.46] And I'll breathe them all to death!
[04:41.56] In St. Antoine, they're with us to a man!
[04:43.16] In Notre Dame, they're tearing up the stones!
[04:44.96] Twenty rifles, good as new!
[04:46.83] Listen!
[04:47.40] Twenty rounds for every man!
[04:48.13] Listen to me!
[04:48.45] Jean Prouvaire:
[04:48.74] Double that in Port St. Cloud!
[04:49.28] Listen, everybody!
[04:50.23] Seven guns in St. Martin!
[04:54.13] General Lamarque is dead!
[05:02.44] Lamarque is dead.
[05:07.91] Lamarque! His death is the hour of fate.
[05:12.99] The people's man.
[05:15.98] His death is the sign we await!
[05:21.52] On his funeral day, they will honor his name.
[05:24.43] It's a rallying cry that will reach every ear!
[05:26.73] In the death of Lamarque we will kindle the flame.
[05:29.72] They will see that the day of salvation is near!
[05:32.69] The time is near!
[05:34.51] Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer.
[05:37.64] Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts,
[05:40.37] But a jubilant shout.
[05:41.96] They will come one and all.
[05:44.13] They will come when we call!
[05:49.92]
