Do you hear the people sing? (Epilogue)

Chorus Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light
For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise.
They will live again in freedom In the garden of the Lord We will walk behind the plough-share We will put away the sword The chain will be broken And all men will have their reward!

[tamngan]

This song has the strength of a national anthem

YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE THIS FILM WITH DRY EYES EVER

[marsisntreal]

“somewhere beyond the barricade” always gets me. they’re still fighting for what they believe beyond death, whether their sacrifices meant anything or not

[Braystrains]

“Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long too see…” has me in tears 😭 it’s such a personal thing because I have so much family issues and there is a world beyond that barricade that I long to see….

[Shylablack]

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. My favourite verse.

[lucasfernandez]

When every single person in Paris is an opera singer

[thiagoanbonfim]

The way Marius looks at the light in this scene, just as the chants begins, makes me feel like he's listening to his fallen comrades. If this was the director's intention, that's a masterpiece.

[bereniceguzman]

Rest in peace those heroes who without knowing their names, without knowing them and without being anything moved mountains and taught the rest of the world to move them and to demand their greatest right: to live.

[pigeonsyndrome]

Is Heaven just a big wooden thing in the middle of Paris?

[mikeor-]

French version:
For the will of the people,
None can extinguish our voice,
And so the song will ring out forever,
As it had so long before,
We wish that our light,
Will penetrate the mask of night
To illuminate our land
And to change our lives.
The glorious day will come
When on its march towards the ideal,
Mankind will progress from evil
To good and from falsehoods to truth,
A dream may yet die,
But hope lives on forever!
Will you join in our crusade,
Of those with hopes for humanity?
For every fallen barricade,
One hundred more will rise again,
For the will of the people,
We hear the sound of distant drums,
Announcing the future that they bring,
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade,
Of those with hopes for humanity?
For every fallen barricade,
One hundred more will rise again,
For the will of the people,
We hear the sound of distant drums,
Announcing the future that they bring,
When tomorrow comes!

Ah! Tomorrow comes!

[diggernick]

Valjean dies and automatically knows the words to the song everyone is singing.

[schmuelodradek]

It is a crime to cut off the last two seconds of a song.

[sarahotterson]

I love the reminder in those last two repeated words. Tomorrow comes, this isn't over, you're not finished, you have more to give, and you will get another chance.
Tomorrow comes.

[ImpersonationFilms]

I remember getting the chills in the movie theatre every time this came on. To hear this movie in a theatre was so amazing & beautiful to the ear. I had to see it 6 times in the theatre. I wish we could get a 10 year anniversary screening.

*ENTER NAPOLEON III* : "Your saviour is here!"

[gretzky]

I absolutely LOVE France, and I have such a strong, emotional connection to that country, that it makes me tear up when I see the flags waving.

[taykaitlynfn]

When I saw Gavroche and Epopine.. I started to cry 😭

[ernst_junger]

“And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬

[Armeh]

I would loved see Javert in this scene.

[hanna]

every time I hear this song I cry 😭 because the song has so much meaning to it
