La Carmagnole ist ein Rundgesang und Tanz der Republikaner, der zur Zeit der Französischen Revolution aufkam. Der Text verspottet den zur Zeit der Entstehung des Liedes faktisch bereits entmachteten französischen König Ludwig XVI. und dessen Frau Marie Antoinette. Der Titel spielt auf den Ort Carmagnola in Piemont an, der Anfang 1792 von den Franzosen eingenommen worden war. Ein direkter Zusammenhang zwischen dem norditalienischen Städtchen und Text beziehungsweise Melodie des Liedes ist jedoch nicht zweifelsfrei nachweisbar. Zwei andere historische Ereignisse desselben Jahres, die zur Verbreitung und Bekanntheit der Carmagnole entscheidend beigetragen haben, sind der Tuileriensturm (10. August) und die Schlacht von Jemappes (6. November).

C'est une chanson révolutionnaire anonyme et très populaire créée en 1792 quand l'Assemblée nationale vote la Convention et décrète l'arrestation du Roi. Originaire du Piémont, ce chant gagne d'abord la région de Marseille, avant d'atteindre Paris. Elle se popularise ensuite dans toute la France après la chute du trône pour devenir un hymne des sans-culottes. Lors de ces épisodes révolutionnaires qui secouèrent le XIXe siècle français, elle réapparait en s'ornant de nouveaux couplets.

"La Carmagnole", the name of the short jacket worn by working-class militant sans-culottes,is the title of a French song created and made popular during the French Revolution, based on a dance of the same name. It originated as a song in August 1792 and was successively added to in 1830, 1848, 1863-64, and 1882-83. The authors are not known.This song is triumphantly sarcastic about the fates of the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, and those who support the French monarchy.It is mentioned in A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy and plays an important role in The Song at the Scaffold, a book written by Gertrud von LeFort. La Carmagnole is also sung by the chorus in Act III of Umberto Giordano's opera Andrea Chenier.

  • i need to do this song for a project, could someone tell me the deeper message of the song plz

  • @caod2012 I cannot relate but I understand your point of view. Every country has stupid people, the US just has a lot of them. >_< And the information that I was using was given by French authors so I thought the point of view was valid.

  • @RoronoaEmi c'est un peu le pb tout le monde se sent obliger de parler anglais et de subir l'interprétation US de ce qui se passe ou s'est passé dans le monde ...

  • @caod2012 I would not presume to tell the French about themselves. I thought the person to whom I had replied to in my original post was not French. I was not replying to the video itself. I am sorry if my words have angered you, but they were meant to be an argument to someone else's opinion. And why become upset over my post when so many others are rubbish? I'm not being arrogant, but at least mine is based on historical information and not simply cheering on the revolution. Go tell them off.

  • @RoronoaEmi c'est ce que je te dis, fout nous la paix, t'es pas français et on a pas besoin de ton avis sur la Revolution francaise

  • @caod2012 Apologies, but I'm afraid I don't understand what you are trying to say.

  • @RoronoaEmi nous fait pas chier et parle nous french s'il te plaît

  • respect a ce peuple qui a eu les COUILLES de les foutres dehors !!!

    et dire que nous sommes leurs descendant ^^

  • This song is incredibly unsettling.
