en francaise
Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie !
L'étendard sanglant est levé (bis)
Entendez-vous dans nos campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras.
Egorger vos fils, vos compagnes!
Refrain
Aux armes citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons
1
Que veut cette horde d'esclaves,
De traîtres, de rois conjurés?
Pour qui ces ignobles entraves
Ces fers dès longtemps préparés?(bis)
Français, pour nous, ah! quel outrage
Quels transports il doit exciter?
C'est nous qu'on ose méditer
De rendre à l'antique esclavage!
(au Refrain)
2
Quoi ces cohortes étrangères!
Feraient la loi dans nos foyers!
Quoi ! ces phalanges mercenaires
Terrasseraient nos fils guerriers!(bis)
Grand Dieu! par des mains enchaînées
Nos fronts sous le joug se ploieraient
De vils despotes deviendraient
Les maîtres des destinées.
(au Refrain)
3
Tremblez, tyrans et vous perfides
L'opprobre de tous les partis,
Tremblez ! vos projets parricides
Vont enfin recevoir leurs prix!(bis)
Tout est soldat pour vous combattre,
S'ils tombent, nos jeunes héros,
La France en produit de nouveaux,
Contre vous tout prêts à se battre
(au Refrain)
4
Français, en guerriers magnanimes
Portez ou retenez vos coups!
Épargnez ces tristes victimes,
A regret s'armant contre nous (bis)
Mais ces despotes sanguinaires,
Mais ces complices de Bouillé,
Tous ces tigres qui, sans pitié,
Déchirent le sein de leur mère!
(au Refrain)
5
Nous entrerons dans la carrière
Quand nos aînés n'y seront plus,
Nous y trouverons leur poussière
Et la trace de leurs vertus (bis)
Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre
Que de partager leur cercueil,
Nous aurons le sublime orgueil
De les venger ou de les suivre!
(au Refrain)
6
Amour sacré de la Patrie,
Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs
Liberté, Liberté chérie
Combats avec tes défenseurs !(bis)
Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire
Accoure à tes mâles accents
Que tes ennemis expirants
Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire!
(au Refrain)
traduction en anglaise
Come on, children of the motherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us, full of tyranny!
The bloody sword is raised (twice)
Do you hear in our countryside
Those ferocious soldiers barking?
They come upto your arms
Slaughter your sons, your countryside!
Chorus
To arms, citizens,
Form your batallions
March on, march on
Let an impure blood
Soak our paths
1
What does this horde of slaves,
Of traitors, of conspirating kings want?
For whom these ignoble shackles
These irons since long prepared?
(twice)
Frenchmen, for us, ah! what an outrage
What anger must it arouse?
It's us that they dare to try
To render unto antique slavery!
(to chorus)
2
What these foreign legions!
Would make the law in our homes!
What! these mercenary phalanx
Would defeat our warrior sons!
(twice)
Good God! By chained hands
Our heads would bend themselves
under the yoke!
Vile despots would become
The masters of destiny.
(to chorus)
3
Tremble, tyrants and you treacherous,
The disgrace of all parties,
Tremble ! Your parricide projects
Are going to at last receive their
rewards !(twice)
All are soldiers to fight you,
If they fall, our young heros,
France will produce more anew,
All ready to fight against you
(to chorus)
4
Frenchmen, in war magnanimous
Hit or restrain yourselves!
Spare those sad victims,
To regret arming themselves against us
(twice)
But those bloodthirsty despots,
But those accomplices of Bouillé,
All those tigers who, without pity,
Tear apart their mother!
(to chorus)
5
We shall take up the cause
When our elders wont be there any
more,
We shall find their dust there
And the trace of their virtues (twice)
Much less desirous of surviving them
Than of sharing their coffins,
We shall have the sublime pride
Of avenging them or following them!
(to chorus)
6
Sacred love of the motherland,
Guide us, support our vengeful arms,
Liberty, dear Liberty
Fight alongside your defenders!
(twice)
Under our flags, let victory
rush to your manly tones
Let your dying enemies
See your Triumph and our Glory!
(to chorus)
