    La Marseillaise
    (The Song of Marseilles)




    Original French Words


    Allons enfants de la patrie,
    Le jour de gloire est arrivé!

    Contre nous, de la tyrannie

    L'étendard sanglant est levé

    (repeat)

    Entendez vous dans les campagnes

    Mugir ces féroces soldats?

    Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras

    Egorger vos fils, vos compagnes.



    CHORUS

    Aux armes, citoyens!

    Formez vos bataillons!

    Marchons! Marchons!

    Qu'un sang impur

    Abreuve nos sillons!



    Amour sacré de la patrie,

    Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs!

    Liberté, Liberté chérie,

    Combats avec les défenseurs!

    (repeat)

    Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire

    Accoure à tes mâles accents!

    Que tes ennemis expirants

    Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire!



    CHORUS




    English Translation



    Ye sons of France, awake to glory!

    Hark! Hark! the people bid you rise!

    Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary

    Behold their tears and hear their cries!

    (repeat)

    Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding,

    With hireling hosts a ruffian band

    Affright and desolate the land

    While peace and liberty lie bleeding?



    CHORUS

    To arms, to arms, ye brave!

    Th'avenging sword unsheathe!

    March on, march on, all hearts resolved

    On liberty or death.



    Oh liberty can man resign thee,

    Once having felt thy gen'rous flame?

    Can dungeons, bolts, and bar confine thee?

    Or whips thy noble spirit tame?

    (repeat)

    Too long the world has wept bewailing

    That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield;

    But freedom is our sword and shield

    And all their arts are unavailing.



    CHORUS





    Lyrics and Music: Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, 1792
