When in the Les Miserables this was sang?
This was sang when the schoolboys finally completed their barricade. Marius spotted Eponine in their horde and asked her to give his letter to Cosette.
Enjolras
Here upon these stones, we build our barricade
In the heart of the city we claim as our own
Each man to his duty and don't be afraid
Wait! I will need a report on the strength of the foe
Javert (Disguised as a rebel)
I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars
Served my time
In the days
Of my youth!
Prouvaire
Now the people will fight
Grantaire
And so they might
Dogs will bark
Fleas will bite
Bossuet
They will do what is right
Marius
Hey, little boy, what's this I see?
God, Eponine, the things you do!
Eponine
I know this is no place for me
Still I would rather be with you
Marius
Get out before the trouble starts
Get out, 'Ponine, you might get shot
Eponine
I got you worried, now I have
That shows you like me quite a lot
Marius
There is a way that you can help
You are the answer to a prayer
Please take this letter to Cosette
And pray to God that she's still there!
Eponine (Leaving for Rue Plumet)
Little you know...
Little you care!
Eponine
I have a letter, M'sieur
It's addressed to your daughter Cosette
It's from a boy at the barricade, Sir
In the Rue de Villette
Valjean
Give me that letter here, my boy
Eponine
He said to give it to Cosette
Valjean (Giving coins to Eponine)
You have my word that my daughter will know
What this letter contains
Tell the young man she will read it tomorrow
And here's for your pains
Go careful now, stay out of sight
There's danger in the streets tonight
Valjean (Reading the letter)
"Dearest Cosette, you have entered my soul
And soon you will be gone
Can it be only a day since we met
And the world was reborn?
If I should fall in the battle to come
Let this be my goodbye
Now that I know you love me as well
It is harder to die...
I pray that god will bring me home
To be with you
Pray for your Marius, he prays for you!'"
