Do you hear the people sing?
你聽過音樂劇悲慘世界(”Les Miserables”)嗎?
這部由雨果所著的小說,搭配上震撼人心的音樂與舞台,聽完全劇令人深深的感動,也讓我第一次看完時淚流不止,正如同雨果在寫完這部長篇小說後所言:
「只要是法律與習俗所造成的社會壓迫還存在一天,
在文明昌盛時期因人為因素使人間變成地獄,
並使人類與生俱來的幸福遭受不可避免的災禍,
只要-貧困使男人潦倒、飢餓使女人墮落、黑暗使小孩孱弱
----這三個問題尚未獲得解決;
只要在某些地區還可能發生社會的毒害,
換言之,只要這世界上還有愚昧與悲慘,
那麼,像本書這樣的作品,也許不會是沒有用的吧!」
在臺灣紅潮運動的這個當下,或許我們都該重新看看這部小說(或音樂劇)
特別是聽聽音樂劇中的「Do you hear the people sing?」這首曲子,
聽那鏗鏘有力的歌詞,聽那令人動容的旋律,
訴說著,人民的力量,不容小覷的力量....

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?
Courfeyrac:
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

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
