-- INFO
The French Revolution (French: Révolution française) was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France from 1789 to 1799 that profoundly affected French and modern history, marking the decline of powerful monarchies and churches and the rise of democracy and nationalism. This anthem was composed in 1792, and is played every 14th of July on Bastille Day, to celebrate the 1789 Revolution. The Bastille was a Parisian prison for political dissidents under the monarchy, and its capture & destruction soon became the symbol of the French Revolution. Three words you will often hear: liberté, égalité, fraternité.

--- LYRICS (with translation)
Allons enfants de la patrie
Arise children of the fatherland
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
The day of glory has arrived
Contre nous de la tyranie
Against us tyranny's
L'étendard sanglant est levé !
Bloody standard is raised
Entendez-vous dans nos campagnes
Can you hear in the fields
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Howling fearsome soldiers?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
They are coming into our midst
Egorger nos fils et nos compagnes
To cut the throats of our sons and consorts
Aux armes citoyens ! Formez vos bataillons !
To arms citizens! Form your battalions!
Marchons, marchons ! Qu'un sang impur
March, march, let impure blood
Abreuve nos sillons
Water our furrows
