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 les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes!

Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons!
Qu’un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!

Come up, youngsters of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Towards us, tyranny’s
Bloody normal is raised, (repeat)
Do you hear, within the countryside,
The roar of these ferocious troopers?
They’re coming proper into your arms
To chop the throats of your sons, your ladies!

To arms, residents,
Kind your battalions,
Let’s march, let’s march!
Let an impure blood
Water our furrows!
