First French Empire (1804-1814, 1815) "Chanson de l'oignon"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2018
- The Song of the Onion is an anonymous French military song of the Revolution and the First Empire . It was one of the favorite tunes of the Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard .
The theme of this song is quoted, with the note, by the call of the horns in the opening of the opera of Etienne Nicolas Mehul "The hunt of the young Henri" created on May 1st 1797 room Favart in Paris . Due to the success and popularity of the Song of Onion in the early xix th century, it seems very likely that Mehul was the author.
Legend has it that the song was born shortly before the Battle of Marengo on June 14, 1800 . Bonaparte perceives grenadiers who vigorously rub a crust of bread. "What the hell are you doing on your bread? he asked them. - It's onion, General. - Ah! Okay, there's nothing better to walk briskly along the path of glory " .
The Foreign Legion keeps it in his repertoire.

This post was made by Napoleon gang.
And the thig is that this song is from the French Foreign Legion who don't have a pillow (bearskin cap suggested by other people).
@Rochambeau I just know that is maybe also used by the FFL, if I'm correct. Of course it's from the Napoleonic military tradition
XD
@VoltigeurFR This version is from the FFL, if you listen closely, they removed the lines about Austrians. Because, well, Austrians.
'France sings about onions'
whole of europe: 'sweats nervously'
Austria left the chat
UK: cries
Spain joi- left the chat
Swedes: Sings about frogs🐸
Germany: ‘sweats a lot less nervously’
The French never cried, they just got onions in their eyes
Only time the French cried was when they got onion in their eyes when they chopped them
Should have had some gum.
You know french are getting serious when they start singing about food...
Agreed
And wine. If your hear Le Tourdion then your hear Le Chant de l'Oignon, you know we're full of oignons and wine and ready to fight.
@@rickygreen1756 Better food, that's debatable. Better wine? That's cute...
@@rickygreen1756 What food ? Really ? This is either bad trolling or just lack of food knowledge. Oh well. I could tell you about the bouillabaisse, bœuf bourguignon, gratin dauphinois, pot-au-feu, crêpes, foie gras, quiche, fondue, ratatouille, blanquette, choucroute, croissants, or, you know, bread ? You know the one basic dish Italy doesn’t have since all the breads it makes are bland (although I don’t think they need it, since, you know, pizza and pastas...). And do not start me on cheese (between 1200 and 1500 differents types estimated)! But to be honest, it depends what region you ask :
Rhône Alpes, the region of Paul Bocuse ? Quenelles, praline pie, freaking salami (saucisson), bugnes, some cheeses like St Marcellin or Cerveau de Canut, …
Burgundy ? Except the enormous variety of red wines ? Bœuf bourguignon, poulet à la Gaston, chiken on wine, bourguignone fondue, escargots, patouille, …
Britain ? Salidou (salted butter caramel), Kouign Amann, salted butter, galettes, crêpes, …
Savoie ? Tartiflette, fondue savoyarde, raclette-HELL just by naming their cheeses : reblochon, emmenthal, tomme de savoie, abondance, beaufort, chevrotin *to name a few* .
I’m sorry for Italy, but just by naming savoyard cheeses it’s many more than the italian ones I know (and I know like 10 at most, wich is the double of most people). Not to spit on italian food, *hell, it’s one of the reasons my nutritionnist asked me to stop calling him* and clearly there is no way to know wich one is better (french cuisine is immensely various, complex and delightful, while italian is the opposite, simple and effective.
I could go on and on for hours but clearly a simple web research is enough.
But wines ? Oh boy. If food is a tie, there is no comparison for wine. Burgundy has 84 different wines among wich the world best wine in 2021, Mouton Rothschild 2018. Rhone has like 30. Gironde alone, which is not a region but the county of Bordeaux, has 38 of them, and PACA, although has officially only 8, is known worldwide for it’s rosé, just like Burgundy is for it’s red wines. I can’t think of an italian region that can claim the same, maybe I’m wrong, which in that case correct me, but you can’t create shit like this : just in Burgundy, the UNESCO has declared World Heritage (and I’m not shitting you) it’s climate. Yeah ! Burgundy’s climate is WH because of the wines it creates ! The more you know !
But if you need names : Cotes du Rhone, Bordeaux, Saint-emilion, château-neuf-du-pape, chardonnay, rosé, médoc, champagne (of course), chablis, muscadet. I can’t give you much more since I don’t drink… But œnologues can, and they sure as shit will tell you that there are plenty more and better wines than Italy. Just this year Russia rebranded french rosé wines to lower it’s sells because it hugely overshadowed the russian ones.
I’m sure Italy is better than France in many things, but I’m certain WINE (and cheese) is not one of them.

"The ideas that underpin our modern world-meritocracy, equality before the law, property rights, religious toleration, modern secular education, sound finances, and so on-were championed, consolidated, codified and geographically extended by Napoleon. To them he added a rational and efficient local administration, an end to rural banditry, the encouragement of science and the arts, the abolition of feudalism and the greatest codification of laws since the fall of the Roman Empire.

Små grodorna (« Les petites grenouilles » en suédois) est une chanson traditionnelle suédoise. Elle est très couramment chantée lors de la fête de Midsommar, et s'accompagne alors d'une danse pratiquée autour de l’arbre de mai. Elle peut également se danser autour de l’arbre de Noël.
La mélodie est empruntée au refrain d'un air français, la « chanson de l'oignon », chantée lors de marches militaires pendant la Révolution française. Les Anglais, alors ennemis de la France, auraient changé le texte original du refrain, « Au pas, camarade, au pas camarade / au pas, au pas, au pas ! », en : « Au pas, grenouilles ! » avec un soupçon d’ironie. C'est cette version anglaise qui aurait été importée en Suède au cours du XIXe siècle pour être adaptée sous forme d'une comptine pour enfants, avant de devenir l'un des airs festifs les plus populaires du pays.
La danse illustre les parties du corps que les grenouilles n'ont pas, à savoir les « oreilles » et la « queue ».
La version traditionnelle suédoise:
Små grodorna, små grodorna är lustiga att se.
Små grodorna, små grodorna är lustiga att se.
Ej öron, ej öron, ej svansar hava de.
Ej öron, ej öron, ej svansar hava de.
Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack,
kou ack ack ack ack kaa.
Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack,
kou ack ack ack ack kaa.
La traduction littérale en français :
Les petites grenouilles, les petites grenouilles sont drôles à regarder ;
Les petites grenouilles, les petites grenouilles sont drôles à regarder ;
Ni oreilles, ni oreilles, ni queues elles ne possèdent
Ni oreilles, ni oreilles, ni queues elles ne possèdent
Quack quack quack, quack quack quack,
Quack quack quack quacka.
Quack quack quack, quack quack quack,
Quack quack quack quacka.
In English!
Små grodorna (Swedish for "The Little Frogs") is a traditional Swedish dance and song traditionally performed at midsummer, where the participants dance around the maypole. The dance involves movements that illustrate body parts that frogs lack, namely "ears" (öron) and "tails" (svansar). Occasionally, Små grodorna is also sung at Christmas, but instead of dancing around the maypole, Swedes dance around the Christmas tree.
The melody originates from the refrain of a military march from the French Revolution, "La Chanson de l'Oignon" ("The Onion Song"),[1] with the text "Au pas, camarade, au pas camarade / au pas, au pas, au pas!" ("In step, comrade"). The enemies of the French at the time, the British, changed the text with condescending irony to "Au pas, grenouilles!" ("In step, little frogs"). The melody is still in use in a French children's song with the original lyrics "Au pas camarades", and is also used on military occasions. It is not known how the melody ended up in Sweden, but the Swedish lyrics are clearly inspired by the English version.
Although the song is not often performed outside Sweden, hundreds of examples of people singing and dancing "Små grodorna" have been uploaded to RUclips, and the performance groups range in size from backyard family parties to multiple thousands gathered in fields and public parks. It has also been sung by Swedish RUclipsr PewDiePie during an episode of the game Prop Hunt. The actress Caroline Lagerfelt can be heard singing the song in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. In the film Peter Stormare plays an eye doctor and Lagerfelt plays his nurse. She subsequently replaces the "ears" (öron) mentioned in the song with "eyes" (ögon).
Traditional lyrics in Swedish:
Små grodorna, små grodorna är lustiga att se.
Små grodorna, små grodorna är lustiga att se.
Ej öron, ej öron, ej svansar hava de.
Ej öron, ej öron, ej svansar hava de.
Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack,
kou ack ack ack ack kaa.
Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack,
kou ack ack ack ack kaa.[2]
English translation:
The little frogs, the little frogs are funny to observe.
The little frogs, the little frogs are funny to observe.
No ears, no ears, no tails do they possess.
No ears, no ears, no tails do they possess.
Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack,
kou ack ack ack ack kaa.
Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack,

A more literal English translation:
The small frogs, the small frogs are funny to see.
The small frogs, the small frogs are funny to see.
No ears, no ears, no tails have they.
No ears, no ears, no tails have they.
Croak croak croak, croak croak croak,
Croak croak croak croak a.
Croak croak croak, croak croak croak,
Croak croak croak croak a.
There is also a second verse featuring pigs, sung as a contrast to the first part:
Små grisarna, små grisarna är lustiga att se.
Små grisarna, små grisarna är lustiga att se.
Båd öron, båd öron, och svansar hava de.
Båd öron, båd öron, och svansar hava de.
Å nöff nöff nöff, å nöff nöff nöff,
å nöff nöff nöff nöff nöff.
Å nöff nöff nöff, å nöff nöff nöff,
å nöff nöff nöff nöff nöff.
English translation:
The little pigs, the little pigs are funny to observe.
The little pigs, the little pigs are funny to observe.
Both ears, both ears and tails do they possess.
Both ears, both ears and tails do they possess.
Oh oink oink oink, oh oink oink oink,
oh oink oink oink oink oink

I think it is quite funny that this song is one of the most popular in Sweden, very few know that the Små Grodorna are French soldiers!
