Louis XVI: O my people! What have I done to thee? I loved virtue and justice! Your happiness was my only priority, And you drag me off to torture! And you drag me off to torture! French people, was it not among thee, That Louis was first born? The same heaven saw all of our births, I was a child in thy childhood. Robespierre: O good people! What has he done to thee? This King has no virtue, no justice! An ungrateful child made a plaything of you, Indeed he deserved his torture! Indeed he deserved his torture! In an infamous court and far from you, French people, was he first born, Heinous crimes known unto us all, He committed during his childhood! Louis XVI: O my people! Have I therefore deserved, Such torment and such pain? When I have given thee liberty, Why do you charge me with chains? Why do you charge me with chains? I was still young, when all the French people Saw in me their tutelary support, I was not thy King yet, But I already was thy father. When I ascended the dazzling throne, To which I was destined since birth, My first step in this brilliant post, Was an edict of goodwill. Was an edict of goodwill. Robespierre: When he ascended that infamous throne, He dragged out his childhood! Amid the chaos of a faltering state, Which he led to decadence! Which he led to decadence! Louis XVI: The good Henri, so long dear to your hearts Did have some weaknesses, But I, Louis XVI, the friend of good manners, Had neither favorites nor mistresses. Had neither favorites nor mistresses. Name them, therefore, name them, my subjects Whose death warrants I signed, One day saw more French people die, Than the eighteen years of my reign, Than the eighteen years of my reign. Robespierre: Weep then, Louis, weep you foul pig, You who know nothing of good manners. Weep, and know at the hour of your death, Nobody on Earth will miss you. Your tears of blood will be the first ones shed, Over the crimes of your life. Over the crimes of your life. Louis XVI: If my death will satisfy you, Take then my days, I give them to thee. Thy good King, deploring thy error, Dies innocent and forgives thee. Dies innocent and forgives thee. O my people! Receive my adieux, Be happy, for I die without pain. May my blood, flowing before your eyes, Extinguish the hatred in thy hearts, Extinguish the hatred in thy hearts. Robespierre (overlapping with the King): O good people! Strike while strike ye may! He has amply deserved his punishment! A perfidious King is too good for heaven and earth, Let us send this demon back to hell! Let us send this demon back to hell! "My people! I die innocent of all crimes leveled against me. I pardon the authors of my death, and I pray God that the blood you are about to shed will never fall upon France!" -the last words of Louis XVI.
Vive Louis XX

Vive Louis XVI!
Vive Louis XVI martyr de notre pauvre France, Vive le Roi ⚜️
Perfectly sung with appropriate sentiment for this glorious king.
Louis XVI:
O my people!
What have I done to thee?
I loved virtue and justice!
Your happiness was my only priority,
And you drag me off to torture!
And you drag me off to torture!
French people, was it not among thee,
That Louis was first born?
The same heaven saw all of our births,
I was a child in thy childhood.
Robespierre:
O good people!
What has he done to thee?
This King has no virtue, no justice!
An ungrateful child made a plaything of you,
Indeed he deserved his torture!
Indeed he deserved his torture!
In an infamous court and far from you,
French people, was he first born,
Heinous crimes known unto us all,
He committed during his childhood!
Louis XVI:
O my people!
Have I therefore deserved,
Such torment and such pain?
When I have given thee liberty,
Why do you charge me with chains?
Why do you charge me with chains?
I was still young, when all the French people
Saw in me their tutelary support,
I was not thy King yet,
But I already was thy father.
When I ascended the dazzling throne,
To which I was destined since birth,
My first step in this brilliant post,
Was an edict of goodwill.
Was an edict of goodwill.
Robespierre:
When he ascended that infamous throne,
He dragged out his childhood!
Amid the chaos of a faltering state,
Which he led to decadence!
Which he led to decadence!
Louis XVI:
The good Henri, so long dear to your hearts
Did have some weaknesses,
But I, Louis XVI, the friend of good manners,
Had neither favorites nor mistresses.
Had neither favorites nor mistresses.
Name them, therefore, name them, my subjects
Whose death warrants I signed,
One day saw more French people die,
Than the eighteen years of my reign,
Than the eighteen years of my reign.
Robespierre:
Weep then, Louis, weep you foul pig,
You who know nothing of good manners.
Weep, and know at the hour of your death,
Nobody on Earth will miss you.
Your tears of blood will be the first ones shed,
Over the crimes of your life.
Over the crimes of your life.
Louis XVI:
If my death will satisfy you,
Take then my days, I give them to thee.
Thy good King, deploring thy error,
Dies innocent and forgives thee.
Dies innocent and forgives thee.
O my people!
Receive my adieux,
Be happy, for I die without pain.
May my blood, flowing before your eyes,
Extinguish the hatred in thy hearts,
Extinguish the hatred in thy hearts.
Robespierre (overlapping with the King):
O good people!
Strike while strike ye may!
He has amply deserved his punishment!
A perfidious King is too good for heaven and earth,
Let us send this demon back to hell!
Let us send this demon back to hell!
"My people! I die innocent of all crimes leveled against me. I pardon the authors of my death, and I pray God that the blood you are about to shed will never fall upon France!" -the last words of Louis XVI.
Good King Louis! Vive le roi!
Красивая песня.
I hope I can die in that disposition! Jesus, mercy! Mary, help!
