La Marseillaise - Red Army Choir

Revolutionary Music (Anthem of the French Republic)

Allons enfants de la patrie,
le jour de gloire est arrive!
Contre nous de la tyrannie
|:L'etendard sanglant est leve!:|
Entendez-vous dans les compagnes
Mugir ces feroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Egorger nos fils, nos compagnes!

|: Aux armes citoyens!
Formez les bataillons!
Marchons! Marchons!
Qu'un sang impure
abreuve nos sillons! :|

English:
Arise, children of the fatherland!
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us is tyranny,
|:The flag of our blood is raised!:|
Can you hear in the countryside
The marching of ferocious soldiers?
They come into your homes
To murder our children and wives!

|: To arms, citizens!
Form the battalions!
Let's March! Let's March!
So that the impure blood
rains down upon our fields! :|

revolucionary anthems are the best? why? they always say the true. examples? ussr,france and most of latin countries.

As a Frenchman, I can confirm that this rendition is absolutely beautiful. I am a patriot who also admires Russian language and culture (I am learning Russian). Thanks Russian friends, merci amis russes!

Je tiens à dire là-dessus que votre hymne national est bien meilleur que celui du Canada. D'abord, celui du Canada avait été composé par un révolutionnaire canadien-français de 1837, mais était beaucoup plus longue. De plus, celui que l'on connait actuellement a été mis en place par P.E. Trudeau, le plus farouche adversaire à l'indépendance de la minorité francophone. Finalement, les paroles en anglais ne sont pas reliés au sens de la chanson en français. Ainsi, elle est douce et vide de sens

Vive l'amitié Franco-Russe!! :D

The last 2 lines of your English translation are a little off. It should be "They come right into our arms, to cut the throats of our sons, our country." Also, it's " the bloody flag is raised" not "The flag of our blood."

@Gallers I'll say... some countries (like mine) have great songs but horrible choir. A choir, even a military one, should be made of singers, not soliders who cant sing (its nice if they can be both soldiers and can sing)

[Gallers]

Every country should have a Red Army Choir.

@republicain85 Je suis exactement dans le même cas que toi !

[CptFoupoudav]

Red army singing la marseillaise this is a great honor.

Long live Russia and France !

It's too bad people don't have the passion for revolution like the people before them did. A twitter revolution? Gimme a break. It is nothing without a good ole revolution song.

@CplButters I am American and I love the French! We should be more like them!
