(The defenders settle down for the night with wine and a song)
ENJOLRAS Marius, rest.
FEUILLY Drink with me to days gone by Sing with me the songs we knew
PROUVAIRE Here's to pretty girls who went to our heads.
JOLY Here's to witty girls who went to our beds.
ALL Here's to them and here's to you!
GRANTAIRE Drink with me to days gone by Can it be you fear to die? Will the world remember you When you fall? Could it be your death Means nothing at all? Is your life just one more lie?
ALL Drink with me to days gone by To the life that used to be
WOMEN At the shrine of friendship, never stay dark
MEN Let the wine of friendship never run dry
ALL Here's to you and here's to me
MARIUS Do I care if I should die Now she goes across the sea? Life without Cosette Means nothing at all. Would you weep, Cosette, Should Marius fall? Will you weep, Cosette, For me?
