je suis français et j'aime notre hymne national. Initialement conçue comme un "chant de guerre pour l'armée du Rhin", La Marseillaise se présentait également comme un appel à la lutte contre la tyrannie. Adoptée par les volontaires venus de Marseille pour rejoindre les armées des frontières, elle accompagna la chute de la monarchie au cours du mois d'août 1792. J'ai de la famille en Australie un cousin qui a immigré il y a plusieurs décennies je crois qu'il est à victoria bonne chance pour ta chaîne

Hi from South France, JDN, 🌴🌞
Today, in France, at the start of the anthem, we sing more often *"Marchons, marchons, qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons"* (Let's walk, let's walk, may impure blood water our furrows) rather than "Marchez, marchez…" (March, march…) since it also rhymes with "nos sillons" (our furrows) at the end of the sentence. And it's also more involving and motivating. We go there by ourselves - and for ourselves, all together, not ordered by someone who orders us to walk..
Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
French here
👍Correct
Tu es sensé dire "Marchez" si tu ne fais pas partie de l'armée et "Marchons" si tu fais partie de l'armée, mais après en vrai tu dis ce que tu veux
G’day mate from France. Wish you all the best for your new channel. An aussie who has been living in France for more than 40 yearling😊

It was a marching song for the Army of the Rhine and the Marseille soldiers who went back to Paris adopted it and made it known
Actually, the meaning of the words in the last part sang by kids means they will follow the parents and are ready to die too, and no it's not very common, most anthems in the world are based on the leader or hope, very few are actually military songs from what I gathered
when they are talking about regret it's not that the soldiers are attacking us but thjat they are forcesd by the elites (nobles at the time) to arme themselves against their brtothers of class. and it's a call to give merci to those that were forced to fight by those nobles.
I always though, during my childhood, that the "impure blood" was the blood of the ennemy. I discovered, later, that it was in fact the blood of the citizen, which was "impure blood" compared to the noble one. It is a song about the citizen warrior, saving the country in place of the nobles. And the song invite the citizen to sacrifice himself so his blood will mix into the fatherland. It's at the same time glorious and horrible...
Well, that is inexact. After a short media debate on the question, French history youtuber @YannToutCourt dug up litterature from the time and the only use of "impure blood" was by Mara and referred to the enemies of the revolution
As such, the song is both against the surrounding countries which were trying to invade to restore monarchy and the anti-revolutionaries that were within the country
Hi John. Thank you for your channel and your interest in France. About our anthem, we must think that it is a revolutionary song, written at a time when Europe was united against France and the European monarchies wanted to bring down the revolution and the republic. You will then understand that it was necessary to ignite our soldiers but also, an entire people in arms
7:27 Not quite, this part means that soldier should hold back from killing those who came to fight against their will, it's "regretfully" as in they didn't want to.
Another beautifull song i'll recommend: La Strasbourgeoise
Song written after the defeat of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870
100% agree.
They are going to battle, it was written in 1792 after Austria declared war on France.
PS: Love this video. The map with and without the Alsace region (and Moselle) is a nice detail and covers some history of my country.
OK, one very important thing with our anthem which have nothing to do with the story of it's creation nor the lyrics: it's the score.
I'ts the very thing thing make La Marseillaise so special among all the other anthem, anybody can sing the song. You only have to know the lyric (easy they are not very long) and the melody (easy as a pop song in fact). The US anthem for example is really difficult to sing, this is why the only person who sing it during sport event (or commemorational evant) is a professionnal singer. You don't have to be a pro singer to enjoy the powerfull feeling of glory when you sing La Marseillaise!
If you want to know this, to discover it, don't listen the boring and pretentious opera records !
You have to hear popular events, to feel the true Heart and Soul of France, when WE the French People are singing La Marseillaise .
The French Anthem "La Marseillaise" was written by a French officer Roget de l'Isle in April 1792 for the Army of conscripts coming from Marseille and joining Strasbourg. Strasbourg was on the border with German kingdoms of the Holy Empire. France was at war with Austria. The French Army on this border was called l"Armée du Rhin" . That song was of course devoted to endorse the fighting spirit of the conscripts who were coming from all parts of France. It therefore became the French Anthem in 1795. We hereby hear the version written by Berlioz in 1887. I like singing it when I go to Rugby matches ;)
The firts name of this song was " Marching song for the Rhine army " , so not specialy for the troops from Marseilles.
The actuel name is caused by the fact of marseilles troops song it in Paris when they came from their city and made it so popular .
the context of that song - it was born during the revolution - at a time when Austrian king sent his army to take control of the revolution and revert it.
So, France decided to raise an army formed of untrained peasants and citizens to encounter the Austrian army (First battle of the revolution).
"sang impure" refers to the non-royal blood of the new peasants sent to war.
it was believed in those days that royal blood was Blue and non-royal blood would be red. and these are 2 of the 3 colours of the flag.
"Impure blood" counters the aristocratic “blue blood” by asserting that the only “pure blood” is the blood of patriots.
The theory that the "impure blood" is that of the peasants has been debunked: it was clearly the "impure blood" of the ennemy. The idea itself was not racist, but representative of the "poetic" idea that one's morals would taint one's blood, symbolically (as you could find in French plays from the 17th and 18th centuries).

Non, c’est une idée reçu. Le therme de « sang impur » c’est une expression employée pour désigner les contre-révolutionnaire pendant la révolution. « J’ai jugé utile de verser quelque goutte de sang-impur, c’est a dire le sang des ennemis de la liberté » N. Bonaparte. Et on sait que c’est dans ce sens que l’emploie Rouget de Lille car dans la première version de la marseillaise, il écrivait « que leur sang abreuve nos sillon ».
@@adanflyber6341 Hi,
I'm not right about that. It's not because some historians of today say that, so that's the truth. As they're long-standing historians, and as they're eventually specialized in the period that interests us, or, for commentators who rely on the assertions of these certified historians to assure that no, they're right, and so, analyzing this text from another point of view is necessarily a mistake.
Finally, those who would seek to minimize the point would inevitably be wrong because knowing other revolutionary songs from the same period would be enough to ensure that Rouget de Lisle was undoubtedly like those (the other authors of these unpitying chants).
Thus, the revolutionaries and him first (Rouget de Lisle, since he's the author of the text) were all bloodthirsty, brutal, and drunk with violence.
Okay, let's take note.
However, this isn't what the other verses of La Marseillaise say.
Let's ask ourselves. Why, after having urged the revolutionaries to water the furrows of France with the blood of all the European countries' soldiers united by their sovereigns against France, would he suddenly ask these same revolutionaries to hold back their blows and spare these people who are ultimately their peers? That makes absolutely no sense.
Why would he also affirm that each time a revolutionary falls in combat, a new one will emerge from the ground to replace him (thanks to the blood of the enemy shed?). Once again, it isn't easy to understand the logic behind this statement. Could the author be schizophrenic?
However, if impure blood designates revolutionary fighters' blood, then this verse takes on its whole meaning here, all its intrinsic worth.
The last verse of the Marseillaise also reinforces this idea since it specifies that the new fighters (who emerged from the ground, the furrows, therefore), jealous of their elders who died in combat (on this same land, these same furrows), will be more proud to join them in death for the "noble" cause which is theirs, rather than surviving them.
The text is before our eyes. That's it that must be analyzed.
In doing so, we must adhere to the guidelines mentioned in the original text to maintain consistency and the accuracy of the author's work. It's crucial not to alter the intended message of the text, omit any pertinent details, or add any "extraneous information" that, under the pretext of putting us back in context, finally distances us from it.
We must strive to maintain the same level of formality throughout our text analysis. By taking that action, we can ensure impartiality unaltered by "external considerations" and stick to what's written.
The fact that some other authors of the same period wrote differently (the extraneous information, the external considerations, so) can't in any way be considered a demonstration that La Marseillaise is necessarily a bloodthirsty anthem (and its author with it) and there's no possible nuance, that everyone must be put in the same basket and that the case is closed.
Personally, I refuse shortcuts. I prefer to leave it to everyone, after having contrasted the arguments of the two camps, to make their own analysis, to thus form their personal opinion, with full knowledge of the facts ...duly noted!
Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
I can't recommend enough the French Revolution and the following Napoleonic Wars by Oversimplified.
02:35 I don't know why, but all the english translations of La Marseillaise translate "vos compagnes" by "your companions" which is wrong.
The correct word should be "your wifes" or "your spouses".
Par ce qu'en Anglais " Compagnes " sa n'existe pas comme mot , et que la traduction est au fraise.

C ' est un peu ironique que l' hymne dise " Aux armes " alors que l' accès aux armes en France est extrêmement restreint .

hey there, wish the best for your channel! waiting for what you have in store for us, greetings from france :) (you should react to mister V videos for humor, i guess the recent ones are translated)
Yes, it's a bit of a warlike anthem, but once again, all of Europe was allied against France. But hey, it's a bit of a habit and not extremely serious when your country was born 5 years after the ousting of the last Western Roman emperor.

les français ne connaissent en général que le premier couplet et écrit en 1792 (on a guillotiné le roi Louis XVI en 1793 )
Bien dommage, tout les couplets y compris ceux non chanté sont des tueries qui mériterait d'être remis en avant !
French here.
Rolled "R" in this version...come on, stop it !!! 🤦🙉 awful
Opera singers are almost impossible to understand, even for a french native speaker.
"Marchons marchons" in normal version, instead"marchez marchez"
"I'm from Australia" Really you didn't need to precise it. It's pretty clear.
Edit : If you are considering reacting to French content on a business purpose : Bad choice. Most of my fellow countrymen can barely speak English. You may have more sucess with your reactions to the Netherlands ; way smaller country, but almost all of them speak proper English.
can you react to the “Chant du Départ” Revolutionary anthem and anthem of Napoleon 1st please
