- 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.

And we Canadians thought the American Anthem was blood thirsty! Lol! I remember having to learn this in Grade 9 French class...1965!
The performance of La Marseillaise in the movie "Casablanca" symbolically silencing the Nazis who started out singing their own German song, is one of the most patriotic moments in cinematic history!
She's got some real passion. Very impressive! I think it's my favourite rendition of the current French national anthem in its glorious entirety!
So many just sing their National Anthem like in America, Passion shows it NOT JUST A SONG. What Whitney Houston at the Super Bowl performing America's National Anthem.
It brought tears to my eyes.
Vive La France. Happy Bastille Day 2022.
One of the greatest patriotic songs that have ever been sung.
Vive France 🇫🇷!!!
She still sends shivers down my spine, every time I hear this ❤
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! ✊🏻
I love this. Casablanca explained. Please share to 5 million, so my heart may at last, rest in peace.
If that won't inspire you to fight for your country, nothing will.
That's for sure. I'd join the French Foreign Legion just so I could here it every morning during recruit training!!!!🇦🇺
Mike: The anthem of our country was composed based on this wonderful song LA MARSEILLAISSE !
And we still use it TODAY fighting the TYRANNY !
AL COMBATE CORRED BAYAMESES
QUE LA PATRIA OS CONTEMPLA ORULLOSA
NO TEMAIS UNA MUERTE GRORIOSA
QUE MORIR POR LA PATRIA ES VIVIR
EN CADENAS VIVIR ES VIVIR
EN AFRENTA Y OPROBIO SUMIDOS
DEL CLARIN ESCUCHAD EL SONIDO
A LAS ARMAS VALIENTES, CORRED !
Je suis un étranger, mais j'aime sa chanson d'amour naturelle à la France,
qui a une histoire riche.
I think a new fight is coming our way, and we shall win again! Je pense qu'un nouveau combat s'annonce, et nous gagnerons encore !
Patriotism from the heart... I wonder how many Have been inspired to join the French foreign Legion by this inspired national anthem the French foreign Legion are one of the most respected special forces in our world... Viva LaFrance from an US Air Force Veteran Visited France in the early 80s.
My family and I was there! We stood underneath the Tower (back then it was all white gravel rock, not blacktop as it is today).
This was the first time I'd heard La Marseillaise all the way through, and the first time to read the translation. DAM! gave me goose bumps, made shivers run up my spine! 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. . . Thanks for posting!
For the first time I saw the lyrics of the France Hymn, and was deeply astonished by it's content.
I understood one more time why for French people freedom, liberty and democracy are so important !
Thanks
l'inno nazionale francese è il più bello in assoluto, ha una carica emotiva immensa
Best version I’ve heard!
La Marsellaise will always be the basic pattern on which any rabble-rousing march (L'Internationale, Can You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis, etc) is based.
Beautiful hymn,
One of the best in the world.
Incredible anthem
I'm not French.... But it's my fav anthem...... I literally love her voice and this anthem 🖤✨🖤✨🖤✨
I Nostri fratelli Francesi... 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
so proud be a french defender as mimi,
she who stands and sings for sincere of her heart
Great voice, this chansonette was/&is one of the best france ever had.
Absolutely lovely!
Mi sfogo ad ascoltare la marsaillaiese
The greatest rendition of the greatest anthem of all time.
Allez Mireille vas-y musique 🎶 🎵
I am part French through my 6th great grandfather and during the French/English War is when my French ancestors came to the American colonies but to this day my family's French heritage has never left our hearts.
Vive La France
When I was young in the 1940s America had Kate Smith, now we have ( fill in the black ) if you can find one.
Fantastic performance
1989. That was a good year for freedom and liberty!
MERVILLEUX ! BEAU !
IL FAIT VOTRE COEUR BATIR DANS LA POITRINE !
VIVE LA FRANCE !
Great Anthem.The Marsellesa.Beatiful.
Reminds me of how stirring the scene in “Casablanca” was where the French patriots drowned out the Germans.
How could you ever lose a rugby match after that! No wonder Father Jack stood up!
One of the greatest National Anthems.
One of the greatest songs ever created.
Came here from ricks cafe ..love that scene in Casablanca
Chapeaux to the lyrics of the hymn, the music and the singer. Vive la France!
No wonder the nazis in casablanca were so pissed
Between Bogie and this song, they should've seen it coming!
Victor Laszlo: "Play La Marseillaise. Play it!"
One of the great moments in a great film.
Grandios
I love the melody of the song. But I'm quite surprised with the lyrics
You and me both, especially when I heard from actual linguists and historians! My French stinks, but the song is great.
The lyrics where prophetic. (See new nazi Russia & its victims). Slava Ukrajini 🇺🇦
I mean, Cut the throats of children! Spill their blood! YIKES! I understand it all but oh my.... And I absolutely love their anthem. Viva La France!
We are all descendants of blood and gore. It just so happens that the free countries of the west have done far more with their blood and gore.
No blood, no gore, no us.
Rather blood thirsty .I pictured the french revolution
sublime vive la FRANCE
I love it
The most blood thirsty anthem.
WOW.
Très belle chanson, l'une des meilleures au Monde.
Vive la France !
Winceworthy lyrics, sung wonderfully.
¡¡¡¡ SUPREMA ,MAGNIFICA !!!!
My mom loved her music
Love the French National Anthem it is much better than God Save The Queen.
Magnificent.
Best ever!!
I absolutely love it and Angerland has God Save The Fin Queen. Says it all. At least we have Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. 🏴
Vive le France
Ouis Madame!
I Love This, nonetheless.
Wow, awesome,! Respect...
Very cool.
Now that is a national anthem, better than our dirge
Mimi la meilleure !!!!
Well, that was pretty violent...
❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️👍
Blasting it in my back yard.
Not exactly PG 13 is it !!!.
United strong
And Americans are called blood thirsty!
we should live in atmosphere with no king,
they who sang at 1789, paid by blood to proof that
You mean English subtitles?
I’m here today for Bastille day.
Que boca dios mio !?!?!?!?!
I thought the music marvellous. But the text too hard. Now when
A lot of French people think it's ridiculous to sing about spilling impure Prussian/German blood into the soil of France while the democratically elected German Chancellor takes the salute in Paris. The Algerians also refuse to revise their anthem's verbal attack on France which comes across as idiotic today.
and...btw, it should be sung everwhere in franc eand acted with it, against those fascist EU
Yikes! I never knew what the lyrics were about. Has anyone ever heard a more bloodthirsty anthem? Let us know in the comments. 😬
Stirring song, but the lyrics are very blood thirsty, but so are parts of the Star Spangled Banner. I would have liked some images of Charlemagne, Jon of Arc, Louie XIV and Louie XVI, Voltaire, Napoleon. De Lesseps, Louis Braille, Louis Pasture, Marshal Petain, Marshal Foch, PM Clem-ensue, Charles De Gaul, Joc Le Clare, Pepe La Pue, and Macron. Notice I left out Roe-sue because he was an ass. Maybe I should have put in Guillotine. for coming up with a "merciful" way to dispatch problem people.
Come on Ukrainian, sing
I see this lovely, gripping rendition as an exercise to justify a nice glass of wine and a charcuterie instead of a call to arms. The French seem more inclined toward irritation and sharp language than real patriotism...in my experience.
Viva Ukraine 🇺🇦 👏♥
Vive la France! Vive Mélenchon!
Slava Ukraini!!!!
I am an American I am an Air Force veteran and I cannot say I cannot be more inspired viva LaFrance
cool. just to tell u it vive
Thank you sir.
Questo con il nostro penso siano i più belli, senza nulla togliere a tutti gli altri, a ogni popolo piacerà il proprio.
Qué cosa más linda y sublime. Se me eriza todo el cuerpo por la emoción.
I wonder how many non-French speakers understand that the words speak of spilling the enemies' "impure blood" (sang impur) into the furrows of the ground? Powerful.
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."
C’est moi.
@@zefyrisd69 agreed !
@@zefyrisd69 What are you talking about..... the french wanted a bloodbath and it turned up to be an unnecessary bloodbath, the King and the Queen were not tyrants, they were young and naive, the amount of people killed in the name of freedom is not a proud moment in the history of France, and worse, it's celebrated on the 14/07 every years, like it was a celebration of death. 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.
@@zefyrisd69 wow thanks for teaching me something new and very interesting, in my opinion the song lyrics have become even more powerful. It is very interesting reading the lyrics to the song in context to the revolution.
It's a truly magnificent anthem. It's my favorite anthem of all--and I'm not French! When I was at CCNY so many decades ago my European history professor Dante Puzo referred to La Marsellaise as the last great folk song of Western civilization.
Never knew the lyrics. For a country that is the laughingstock of the military world the French sure have a beyond the pale violent anthem. Pretty cool video though.
by far the best anthem in the world sung with passion and conviction
Che bello che è l'Inno Francese 💖💖💖
Bon soir.
Je vous eccoutte le lettre aux Francais. Je souis Mexicanie me c'est au Francaise Himme. Cebiene que ce chante aux Francais.
Mercy avouir.
Bravo Mireille Mathieu , ești Magnifică când cânți acest cântec ! Felicitări , Milioane de Felicitări pentru cea mai bună și cea mai Frumoasă Interpretă !
Beautiful song. But like, battalions is a word in English too...
Thanks. My French stinks.
Vive la Liberte!!
An overwhelmingly great performance of perhaps the greatest song of the world.
Increíble canto de comando al igual que el cubano y el mexicano .con estos himnos cualquier ciudadano se vuelve . Patriota.
The best song in the world. Vive La Marseillaise!
full of passion ,unlike our boring 'Gawd save the Queen '
in my opinion, Rule Britannia or Land of Hope and Glory is much better than the 19th century tune.
Indescribable beauty
Indescribable comfort
Indescribable feeling
And
something indescribable
