2. Nous entrerons duns la carriére,
Quand nos ainés n'y seront plus.
Nous y trouverons leur poussiére,
Et la trace de leurs vertus! (bis)
Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre,
Que de partager leur cercueil,
Nous aurons le sublime orgueil
De les venger on de les suivre.
Aux armes, citoyens! etc.
3. Amour sacré de la Patrie,
Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs;
Liberté, Libertié, chérie,
Combats avec tes défenseurs! (bis)
Sous nos drapeaux que la Victoire
Accoure tes males accents;
Que tes ennemis expirants
Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire!
Aux armes, citoyens! etc.
2. Within the tomb ourselves must enter,
When all our oldest are at rest;
We shall find their dust reposing,
Trace the virtues each possest; (bis)
Then, then shall we, jealous of honour, yet
Shrink not to share their grave,
For pride, o'ercoming vain regret,
Avenges still the brave!
To arms, ye warriors all! etc.
3. That sacred love — the love of country,
Spurs on afresh our eager arms,
And for conquest and for freedom,
We dare the vast alarms! (bis)
Speedily then, crowning heroic deeds,
Triumph shall lift each head
And our One Flag fly proudly o'er
The living and the dead!
To arms, ye warriors all! etc.
