  • Performance at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in 1989 for its 100th anniversary. Mireille Mathieu sings La Marseillaise, the French national anthem. According to reports at the time, "Mathieu sang the anthem of France so grandly and shrewdly that tears welled up across the country, many patriotic citizens even needed medical treatment." Ten years later, she was awarded the Medal of the French Legion of Honor.
    My translation to American English, weighing literal accuracy, lyrical style, and contemporary US context.

    This anthem makes my blood boil, and my heart pound with courage! And I'm not even French! When this was written, the French people were having a revolution against their own tyrant, and 7 nations of Europe were also invading France at the same time. Les Marseilles is truly a rallying cry of the people to fight for their land, their freedom. The French have taught the world a lesson about human rights and democracy, a lesson still needed today. Respect! ✊🏻

As I was listening, I saw the Revolution, and more importantly I saw the Nazi troops marching through Pairs streets, I saw that famous photo of the French man BAWLING his eyes out as the enemy marched through his city. . .

    • @ogakor
      @ogakor  6 лет назад +136

      Powerful, indeed, but it was not intended to be a literal translation. You're right-- many non-French speakers will probably not understand the context of "sang impur." As I mentioned in the note accompanying the post, I weighed "literal accuracy, lyrical style, and contemporary US context."

The commoners of France executed innocents, for what?, because they were noble or richer. I am french, and I do cry every time I hear La Marseillaise, but I am also realistic, that french revolution achieved nothing.
