Unité 2: Panorama, La France, Anthem

Pretty much the most inspiring national hymn on the planet.  La Marseillaise.

Arise, children of the Fatherland,

The day of glory has arrived!

Against us stands tyranny

The bloody banner is raised, (repeat)

Do you hear, in the countryside,

The roar of those ferocious soldiers?

They're coming right into our arms

To cut the throats of your sons and women!  

To arms, citizens,

Form your battalions,

Let's march, let's march!

So that an impure blood

Water our furrows!

And now Shakira on the NRJ music awards with the audience giving a rousing first stanza.
