newsted Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hate the triple-post, but what else can I do when everyone else is asleep? I'm ambivalent about this whole joining-in-the-Marseillaise thing on Tuesday. Want us to show solidarity, but the lyrics are the usual warmongering bullshit. Rousing tune, but fuck the sentiments. Some of it fits, but some of it don't. Just tbh. Tide of emotion and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Do they expect England fans to suddenly sing fluent French? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsted Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Do they expect England fans to suddenly sing fluent French? Words on the big board planned apparently. I imagine lots of unintelligible noises along with the tune. Let's see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Isn't it all about forming battalions and marching to war? Yes. Grab your weapons, citizens! Form your batallions! Let us march! Let us march! May impure blood Water our fields! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This horde of slaves, traitors, plotting kings, What do they want? For whom these vile shackles, These long-prepared irons? (repeat) Frenchmen, for us, oh! what an insult! What emotions that must excite! It is us that they dare to consider Returning to ancient slavery! What! These foreign troops Would make laws in our home! What! These mercenary phalanxes Would bring down our proud warriors! (repeat) Good Lord! By chained hands Our brows would bend beneath the yoke! Vile despots would become The masters of our fate! Tremble, tyrants! and you, traitors, The disgrace of all groups, Tremble! Your parricidal plans Will finally pay the price! (repeat) Everyone is a soldier to fight you, If they fall, our young heros, France will make more, Ready to battle you! Frenchmen, as magnanimous war blah blah blah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah, I know it's not to be taken literally in the modern day like, but it's not the best anthem for lyrics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I know, that's what I thought when I heard them singing it in parliament etc. Obviously it's their anthem, it doesn't literally mean they're desperate to march to war all the time. But it's not great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onward Christian Soldiers would probably be a good bet. . Onward, Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before.
