La Marseillaise
Allons enfants de la patrie,
le jour de gloire est arrivé
contre nous de la tyrannie,
l'étendard sanglant est levé
l'étendard sanglant est levé
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Egorger vos fils et vos compagnes!
Aux armes citoyens
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons
qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons
TOPICS: History; Poetry; Politics
KEYWORDS: france; revolution; speakenglish
Come, all true sons and daughters of this country
It is our day of glory!
The bloody flag of tyranny,
Is now raised against us.
All over the country,can you not hear
These savage soldiers scream?
They charge right at us,
To murder our families!
Chorus:
Pick up your guns, citizens!
Form your battalions
We march, We are marching!
The foul blood of our enemies
Will soak the furrows of our fields
Happy Bastille Day, Free People
I hope I am singing this loud enough for our new government to hear.

Off with their heads - metaphorically speaking of course.

There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise
Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by
And we're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise
Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast
For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys

You live too close to Canada.

>>How many was that exactly?
"In the wake of the 11 July dismissal of Jacques Necker, the people of Paris, fearful that they and their representatives would be attacked by the royal military, and seeking to gain ammunition and gunpowder for the general populace, stormed the Bastille, a fortress-prison in Paris which had often held people jailed on the basis of lettres de cachet, arbitrary royal indictments that could not be appealed. Besides holding a large cache of ammunition and gunpowder, the Bastille had been known for holding political prisoners whose writings had displeased the royal government, and was thus a symbol of the absolutism of the monarchy.
As it happened, at the time of the siege in July 1789 there were only seven inmates, none of great political significance."

La Belle France of today is more like the kindergentler 7th verse of this great national anthem, which merci au bon dieu, no one ever sings.
We will enter the fray.
When our elders have passed away.
We will rejoin their remains,
And the remains of their virtue!
(repeated) Far from wishing to survive them
We would rather share their grave!
We will have the sublime honour
Of avenging them or joining them!

That’s “kinder and gentler”??? Death before dishonor? That verse looks pretty strong to me.

Remeber that this ‘revolution’ led to the socialism of today..... These blood thirsty mob ruled maniacs would guillotine each and every one of us on FR if they had the chance
To: Kenny Bunk
DOWN WITH THE REVOLUTION!
Bastille Day, 2009: 220 bloody years since the cult of the Goddess Liberty rose up in earnest in its attempt to dethrone God by dethroning God's anointed.
Here's to the fall of all false gods.
May the King soon return.

To: B-Chan; the long march
In the TV documentary about Jefferson (Nick Nolte vs Sally Hemings vs What the Hell Really Happened) the producers floated the theory that the French monarchy spent all its cash supporting the American Revolution and not enough on the home folks.
I have also seen some evidence presented that a period of cooling led to lower agricultural production and thus outrageously high food prices.
Also let's face it, fellow royalists, Louis XVI was not exactly the sharpest chisel in the Bourbon tool box, especially when it came to politics, and Marie Antoinette would definitely have benefited from finishing Junior High in Austria, before taking on the job.
And yes, I do feel terrible that la Belle France was unable to achieve the transition to a constitutional monarchy, as opposed to the unconstitutional monarchy that is taking shape under our very own noses, which is why I was moved to post la Marseillaise.
Félicitations du jour, mes amis.
