ABCが根本、それが今までの道

今、ミュージカルで使われた詩を歌うのにすこしはまってる＾＾

この中のDo you hear the people sing?


Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free?

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

二段目と四段目は見事に韻踏んでるし、、
歌いやすい。
この歌はLes Miserablesの話なんで、フランス革命、特にその初めのころの話なんで、
ああ革命に行く、流血の事態に行くものたちの愛唱歌なんだと理解すればわかってくると思います。

では、宿題からの現実逃避終了～～～
