La Marseillaise, sung by Mireille Mathieu. American English subtitles.

[@andrewstewart5721]

Best version I’ve heard!

[@jaytomson7052]

I love this. Casablanca explained. Please share to 5 million, so my heart may at last, rest in peace.

[@zhouwu]

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!

[@billmitchell5805]

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.

[@olivemd]

It brought tears to my eyes.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

And we Canadians thought the American Anthem was blood thirsty! Lol! I remember having to learn this in Grade 9 French class...1965!

[@strafrag1]

Vive La France. Happy Bastille Day 2022.

[@pierrebonnafous3582]

Thank you sir.

[@seascape35]

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!

[@braian4113]

l'inno nazionale francese è il più bello in assoluto, ha una carica emotiva immensa

[@jaytomson7052]

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 !

[@aurelbalan1257]

Bravo Mireille Mathieu , ești Magnifică când cânți acest cântec ! Felicitări , Milioane de Felicitări pentru cea mai bună și cea mai Frumoasă Interpretă !

[@perfesser944]

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.

[@F8Tributo]

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! ✊🏻

[@SpiderMike]

If that won't inspire you to fight for your country, nothing will.

[@vivianlemottee3291]

That's for sure. I'd join the French Foreign Legion just so I could here it every morning during recruit training!!!!🇦🇺

[@victorhrodriguez1159]

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 !

[@richardrodriguez1742]

When I was young in the 1940s America had Kate Smith, now we have ( fill in the black ) if you can find one.

[@OVERHERE-OVERHERE]

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.

[@thomthumbe]

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).

[@viktorskatchkov8103]

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

[@danquigg8311]

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!

[@юрийселин-б7е]

Fantastic performance

[@Sarimae23]

Great voice, this chansonette was/&is one of the best france ever had.

[@stephenmarcus9096]

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.

[@davidstout6051]

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.

[@DavidSmith-vz2hd]

by far the best anthem in the world sung with passion and conviction

[@carmelodellolio454]

I Nostri fratelli Francesi... 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@Spaseebo]

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.

[@ogakor]

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."

[@inkyguy]

C’est moi.

[@serkering8712]

@@zefyrisd69 agreed !

[@camille3767]

@@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.

[@EPICDAYTONBOTT]

@@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.

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.

[@mullauna]

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.

[@Agapy8888]

[@brianquinn6014]

[@cindyj5522]

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.
