The official anthem of the first Empire
The muse of the Consulate | Consulate The other
This is not really Britney Spears ...
The victory by singing
We opened the gate
Freedom guide our steps
North and south
The war trumpet
A wake-hour battle.
Tremble enemies of France,
Kings drunk with blood and pride.
The sovereign people advance:
Tyrants down the coffin.
The republic is calling us,
Let us let us conquer or perish;
A French must live for it,
The Helen French must die.
A French must live for it,
The Helen French must die.
Lyrics: Marie-Joseph Chenier.
Music: Etienne-Nicolas Mehul
Original title: "Hymn to Freedom", 1794
