  • I love it!!!

    VERY Beautiful!!!

  • @MrDavidTotterdale Get out of Harlem then...

  • @Netherlandsization Harlem? First I am not from New York or of African descent. So sorry I do not understand your statement.

  • @MrDavidTotterdale  sod off

  • @kingfishsaphire Why are you watching an anthem of another country when your full of the country you live in.

  • "sang impur"? What does "impure blood" mean? That you can't be ethnically mixed to be free? Or that you can't be ethnically mixed to be French? Or that having "politically incorrect" beliefs gives you the wrong chromosomes? Or that you'll automatically have the "correct" beliefs if you have the "right" ancestors?

  • @NixonisLord bahahaha! It has to do with the French Revolution! The impure blood refers to Louis XVI

  • @Netherlandsization Why was his blood impure? Were his parents the "wrong" ethnic groups? Was that one of the reasons the French tolerated Louis XIV who killed thousands more of them and spent more of their money and was a religious bigot-but he had "pure blood"?

  • @NixonisLord No, Louis VXI was simply the victim of awful PR and a surprisingly efficient and effective propaganda machine. Sang impur refers more to the counter-revolutionaries. They were insulted as unpatriotic. Not really French. Impure blood.

    Considering how old the song is I'm not surprised that it's a little offensive. I think it does a good job of expressing revolutionary sentiment. The good and the bad. The French Revolution was a terrifying time in history.

  • Aux arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmes citoyens!

    Forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmez vos batallions!

    lolz so many r's

  • The best prank in the world would be to take over the loudspeakers in GITMO and play this resistance song for all the formerly armed rebels against imperialism. Fidel Castro should totally do that shit before he dies.

  • When I was in high school choir, our director would harp on us to "open your mouths wide!" so that we could articulate and produce clear notes instead of mush. If we had YouTube back in 1977, we could have seen this and thought, "Oh, *that's* what she means."

  • I dig the orchestra too.

  • I love La Marseillaise, it's beautiful and very powerful sounding

  • Patriot toast Mother effers haha

  • Formidable!!

    

  • Vive le France! Perhaps the greatest National Anthem ever. It is especially powerful when sung by a woman such as Mireille Mathieu.

  • We need a revolution in the USA!!!!!

  • @rickker20 Oui, vous êtes monsieur correct, nous avons besoin d'une révolution, Vive la Liberté, Vive le Peuple des Etats-Unis d'Amérique.

  • @rickker20  To arms!

  • Joyeux Quatorze Juillet 2011

    Liberté, égalité, fraternité

  • Beautiful, but no match for the scene in Casablanca, where they all belt it out in front of the Nazis.

  • At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you're a liberal or a conservative, or a socialist or a democrat, because this is a song for free people.

  • the only anthem that gets u excited.

  • I HATE her hair

  • All you french-bashing mofos suck a nut (if you can fit it in your mouth). You are the ones who don't have any guts. France banned the Burka! You're already licking muslim ass with multiculturalism, no need for what I just mentioned. You are the fags! France defends its culture, and that's one reason Americans and British hate them so much - The temerity to like one's self. If you have a problem with it, stop drinking the best wine and brandy in the world...

    Yeah... that's what I thought...

  • France=Napoleon >:O

  • Je suis mexican mais jadore la marseillaise plus le mexican. 1.Marseillaise 2.Star spangled banner 3. Mexicanos al grito de guerra

  • Studying genealogy, I was actually surprised (and many don't know) how many Americans with old colonial roots (New England, also mid Atlantic) have at least some French ancestry. And that's not even counting Louisiana (and thru that Texas).

    The ragging on the French is so remarkably stupid on so many levels. The French were RIGHT about Iraq, have better health care, better vacation policy, smarter view toward the modern world.

    But in any case, this is a great song by a great people.,

  • Vive La France! Vive la Liberté, la Egalité et la Fraternité!

  • I like the english version!

    "arise the children of the fatherland, the day of glory has arrived...."

  • Go FRANCE!!!! ALWAYS!!!!!!!!

    Best anthem! 

  • very powerfull voice , one of the very best so far , l wish l could understand what she said ! Aux armes citoyens ??? such a beauthifull anthem !

  • Oldgreg, thanks, I'm not even French (my people came from England--cheerio old chap) but it diminshes all of us when some Americans disparage the French, who practically invented the concept of liberty. Wish I could see Paris someday. Take care, and vive le France!

  • Jesus Freak, you need an education on the Fighting French who helped the Allies take back their country from the Nazis in August 1944. Not just French soldiers, but citizens, even young girls, gave their lives in battles in the streets of Paris that summer, battling tanks, helping the Allies, without regard to their safety. Don't be an American Idiot--you give the rest of us (not to mention Jesus) a bad name.

  • Wow! I love how she stands there so still while belting out this soaring call to arms in her incredible voice. She's as beautiful as the song, it seems as though she's at attention, deliberately stilling any gestures except an occasional shake of those jet black bangs to accentuate the thrilling surges. Only a subdued nod at the conclusion rather than a big bow, as though to say, "No histrionics, this is too important, it's more than a song, it's the Marseillaise." Vive le France!

  • I love her "r's" LOL

  • She has miraculous voice

  • vive la france

  • I had to learn this song for French class...She sings with a lot of passion!

  • Weltklasse. Danke Mimi.

  • Just makes me wanna learn French and go there! :P Compliments to the French singers - voices... outstanding!!! :P

  • "How many French soldiers does it take to defend Paris? ...unknown. It's never been attempted"

  • @JesusFreakDK LOL!

  • @JesusFreakDK MMM the French lost 1.2million in world war 2 the US and England combined lost a little over 900thousand and to think the French were only fighting with army for 6 weeks, they seem brave to me!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrSimned Now Now Mrsimned, We have talked about this. You really need to be getting your rest at your age. You are 57 years old and work very hard in a Mine all day. This was posted 10 hours ago, whick makes it 2 O'clock in the morning Aust EST. Your a good mate now, and we have talked about this before. Im only saying this to you as a Friend, but you could be over doing it. Get in your Audi and go for a long drive up North to help those Aussie flood victims there that you rightfully defend.

  • Sei unica

  • Più grande NON può essere

  • yo soy desendiente de franceses gloria la francia inmortal gloria a los valientes que la defendieron y muerte a sus enemigos ingleses y los yankees cochinos lamebotas de los ingleses viva francia

  • @confederado1000

    Nous ne sommes pas yankees cochinos, fascist!

  • Da giovane ne ero innamorato e da anziano lo sono ancora e della canzone e di colei che la canta...

  • One of the most stirring national anthems in the world - and even more so when sung by cette chanteuse extraordinaire. La belle Mireille! Elle a toujours l'air et son incroyable - et je me souviens La Dernière Valse (1960's!) Vive la France - vive Mireille!

  • This is the french anthem in its best form, the best artist ever from France and this beautiful anthem. I thik, this is the best national anthem in Europa, although I am German

  • This makes me glad the Scots and French are friends.

    Vive l'ancienne alliance!

  • Grece, France, alliance! :)

  • excellent, excellent performence!!!!

  • Vive le Roi! :P

  • les 7 personnes qui n'aiment pas s'il sont français ou étrangers sont vraiment des idiots ... Cet Hymne est le symbole de la république et de la Démocratie française mais aussi de la Révolution Française et donc de la Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen et un morceau d'histoire que certains ne savent pas ou qu'ils méprissent mais peut être aimeraient ils vivre à l'époque de la Révolution Française sous les inégalités et la misère ? ...

  • @Jackibaba oui, vraiment

  • The best rendition me thinks. She's just awesome, and the best part is that after all these years, her voice remains the same! Very very very few artistes have that talent, normally their voice succumbs with age.

  • Magnificent !!! Viva La France!

  • I love this version. As much as the version from the movie "Casablanca".

    It's a beautiful song - right up there with "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Mazurek Dabrowskeigo" (the Polish anthem, another glorious revolutionary rabble rouser).

    But I always thought this line was intereseating:

    "Yo citizens, form your battalions. To arms!

    And water our fields the blood of the impure..."

  • What a great anthem and what a voice the very best

  • Every time I watch her sing this, I see Ste Jeanne d'Arc. OK, I know Mimi is much older, but the attitude, the shake of the head has got to be notre Ste Jeanne!

  • Je suis italien, mais je pense qui votre hymne national c'est le plus beau au monde, aussi j'aime étudier votre langue parce que je trouve plusieurs de resemblances avec la mienne!! Vive la France toujours..

  • viva francia gloriosa historia viril llene de heroismo arrojo y bravura aqui un hijo tuyo de sudamerica te dedica estas lineas con amor peruano de nacimiento pero de sangre francesa por mis origenes

  • There are few in the world that at least don't know the melody if not the words. Just wish the video was better looks like the 1940s. Such a great anthem, singer and voice deserves better. And better typing from me!

  • There are few in the world that at least don't know the melody if not the words. Just wish the video was better looks like the 1940s. Such a great anthem, singer and voise deserves better.

  • it's not just any kind of melody- it's a melodic guide for us to keep in mind

    - love for humanity and the revolution against injustice

  • I am at a loss for an adequate superlative.

  • ok it is national anthem of france, but more than that, it is the march of humanity, and the revolutions.

  • @xoMUSICISINMExo In our French class in Amerika (off course) we have to learn this song and i only have 2 days!!!

  • @xoMUSICISINMExo

    Why?

    I only know a little French and the words seem to roll off the tongue

    Remember it swept to fame as a mass movement song-so it must have been catchy.

  • La Marseillaise is No.1 of the world !

  • Mireille really rolls her "r's".

  • Great performance-stirring-but those rolled r's are pure Piaf

  • @Labienus : Mireille has been rolling those R's for the last 60 years. I have been informed (I think reliably), that this is peculiar to the region (in Avignon) from whence Mireille originates. Either way both Mireille and Edith sound good to me.

  • @beaubarri That's all fine-but Piaf wasn't from that region? -and well, Piaf is Piaf I thought MM was terrific here,r's and all- but the r's sound like an Italian tenor singing Carmen (ortrying to)

    Listen, e.g. to the several version of R. Alagna beautiful French lots of emotion but proper French r's great sound on their own

  • stupenda

    bravo sorren193 per la bella rappezzatura.

    ci ho perso tempo anche io. ma tua è perfetta - grazie

  • stupenda

  • Esto no es el himno de Francia. Es el himno de todos los hombres y las mujeres del mundo. Gracias, Francia

  • フランス国歌は、力強く、素晴らしいです。

    変更はすべきでないと思います。

  • Battle anthems for revolutionary armies never fail to inspire.

  • Stirring stuff

  • Quand Mireille Mathieu chantait ”La Marseillaise” de cette facon extraordinaire avec tellement fierte, les Roumains viennent de se preparer a eclater leur Revolution anticommuniste afin de pouvoir chanter avec la meme fierte ”Deșteptarea” dont, malheureusement, aujourd'hui presque personne n'en croit plus...

    LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE VIVE LA FRANCE

  • Beautiful. Simplemente maravilloso. There are times when you just stop what you're doing...and marvel at the beauty of world. La Marseillaise is one of those moments that I stop and I'm in awww of such a beautiful song.

  • Qu'un sang impur

    Abreuve nos sillons

  • formez the battalions!!!!!!!!!!

  • Egorger nos fils, nos campagnes. Lolz isn't La Marseillaise such a wonderfully pleasant song. X3

  • J'adore Le Marseillaise. Greetings from the US and Ireland. However it is like a summary of a gorey horror movie.

  • The most favorite national anthem in the world. Greetings from a Chinese in Canada

  • omg,,beautiful,,,

  • :o une belle voix pour un beau pays !!

  • magnifique chanson pour la France

  • J'aime sa voix, elle chante avec passion. Quelle merveilleuse hymne national. Salutations du États-Unis d'Amérique

  • @conrad2004a Vive les Etats -Unis et le Canada merci pour ce que les alliés nos ont aidé pendant les 2 Grandes Guerres

    Thanks to our allies for helping us during WWI and WWII USA/France FRIEND FOREVER

  • @TheFrenchscot Je suis encore à apprendre le français, alors s'il vous plaît laissez-moi savoir si je dis cela correctement. Vous êtes les bienvenus pour toute aide que nous avons pu fournir, mais comme je le vois, nous étions juste à rembourser un débit vieux. Sans la France et ses aides, les États-Unis n'aurait jamais gagné son indépendance. Oui, vive la France et les Etats-Unis

  • @conrad2004a il n'y a pas de dettes entre amis...ce que les Français ont fait avec Lafayette est par amitié comme ce qu'ont fait les USA long live our countries and their friendship! Long live UK too and thanks to Churchill ;)

  • The greatest embodiment and vocalization of the beauty and spirit of France.

  • Althow the French national anthem this song more then any other at least to my mind embodies the sprit of all truly free ppl

  • I'm british and I wish so much we had such a wonderful, historyful anthem like yours, french. Besides, you have a preety language! Congrats!

  • @lucasbastos10 We do...its called "Flower of Scotland"

  • @Bullet1967 I mean England specifically, and I beg your pardon, but Flower of Scotland ain't as near as famous as La Marseillaise. Consider I'm a patriotist, mate.

  • Liberte,egalite, faternite. Liberty, equality, fraternity (brotherhood)- thank god, we had the french revolution, the constituton of my country is inspired by France. Democracy is the most important value of the West, may it last.

  • RED FRANCE NOW!!!!!

  • Qeulle bouche.

  • La Chanson c'est tres beaux!

  • moi je suis française et chu fier se sont les premier a avoir dit qu'il veulent + de rois et je connais par cœur les étape de la révolution Française car c'est de cette époque que la Marseillaise et apparue pour les droit de l'hommes et du citoyen

  • She is extraordinary!

  • Je ne suis pas Francais, mais je respecte vraiment la France

  • you may think she looks bourgeois, but she came from a poor background

  • Bloody anthem!

  • Vive Charles Martel

  • @teliopesti1

    No sharia in europe, there's enoguh in middle east

  • sharia is the law of muslims for muslims only. How could it be implemented in Europe? Beside most muslims in Europe, including the balkan native muslims, aren't exactly the most pious people most don't even go to the mosque

  • VIVE LA FRANSE

  • Quelle Chanteuse!!

  • j'aime l'hymne national de France!

  • allez la France!

  • vive la franse

  • hermoso himno... y eso que se invento en plena revolucion francesa, y caray la voz de mireille le da mas patriotismo... =)

  • Vive la république et vive la France !

  • Ce qui me donne encore plus le sourire, déjà c'est notre belle hymne national, mais les gens des pays voisins qui aiment notre pays et essaient de parlés notre langue ! =D Même s'il y a des fautes, j'en ai les larmes aux yeux de lire ces messages =")

  • I mean hundreds of millions as in all casualities in the war germans, jews, gypsies russians and all the other victims

  • Vive Mireille Mathieu! Vive La France!

  • i really like the french anthem...but only because of the melody...the lyricy are so nationalistic and cruel!!

  • this song was inventended by french soldiers (from Marseille hence the name) in a time in wich the new France had to defend itself. They were fighting for freedom and equality so of course it's very nationalistic and violent, being under attack from Germans, french nobles and English how could it be different? French revolution 1789 the greatest event in western history.

  • @glamedrehl whats about 1945 and 1989...i think this are greeat events in western histroy too...i don´t think the french revolution is more important..and the revolution failt, right

  • now you're wron g it didn't fail louis the 16th was the last absolute monarch in France. It opend the eyes of suppressed people everywere in europe from Dublin to st-petersburg. It still inspires revolutions and it's principles are still worth more then any wealth in the world. sure 1945 and 1989, but they didn't change the world in the same way the french revolution did.

  • @glamedrehl lol the end of the second world war and the cold war did´nt change the world like the frenc revolution did?!...lol i really don´t think so!

  • I mean that we didn't learn that much after world war 2, there are still extreme right movements who consider certain minorities in their countries as inferiour( look at muslims in Europe) even worse people who openley love the 3 reich. If hundreds of millions aren't enough to make people reconsider to be extreme right then what will??? perhaps 1989 is an equally important event on the short run, but many russians are wondering if the sovjet union wasn't better for them, it wasn't an eyeopener

  • First heard this at the 68 winter olympics. The French sing it with such feeling. I love it!

  • VIVA LA FRANCE FROM GREECE

  • To arms, citizens!

    Form your battalions!

    March! March!

    (And I think)

    Impure blood

    shall water our furrows!

    (Pardon my french translation Dx)

  • Trotz der einen oder anderen kriegerischen Textstelle handelt es sich bei der Französischen Nationalhymne um ein bezauberndes Lied!

    Und Mireille Mathieu ist natürlich eine traumhaft schöne Französin!

    Grüße aus Deutschland an unsere Französischen Nachbarn!

  • @Kickeggs Germans are not allowed to talk about French girls.

    In W.W. II you guys only fucked 'em up in Paris.

    Those awfull things are still in your blood.

  • @Kickeggs ... es geht nur um die Freiheit ... Krieg nur dafür ;) ich liebe Frankreich
