| | + | In the days following Macron's speech to the nation, cries for his resignation only grew louder. Crowds again took to the street, singing the French national anthem: {{Quotebox|Arise, children of the Fatherland, The day of glory has arrived! |
| | + | Against us [[tyranny]] |
| | + | raises its bloody banner |
| | + | Do you hear, in the countryside, |
| | + | The roar of those ferocious soldiers? |
| | + | They're coming right into your arms |
| | + | To cut the throats of your sons and women! |
| | + | |
| | + | What does this horde of slaves, |
| | + | of traitors and conjured kings want? |
| | + | For whom are these vile chains, |
| | + | these long-prepared will go? |
| | + | Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage! |
| | + | What fury must it arouse! |
| | + | It is they they dare plan |
| | + | to return to the old [[slavery]]! |
| | + | |
| | + | What! Foreign cohorts |
| | + | would make the law in our homes! |
| | + | What! These mercenary phalanxes |
| | + | would strike down our proud warriors! |
| | + | Great God! By chained hands |
| | + | our brows would yield under the yoke |
| | + | Vile despot would have had |
| | + | the masters of our destinies! |
| | + | |
| | + | Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors, |
| | + | Bear or hold back your blows! |
| | + | You spare those sorry victims, |
| | + | Who arm against us with regret. |
| | + | But not these bloodthirsty [[despot]]s, |
| | + | These achievements of Bouillé, |
| | + | All these tigers who, mercilessly, |
| | + | rip their mother's breast! |
| | + | |
| | + | Sacred love of the Fatherland, |
| | + | Lead, support our avenging arms |
| | + | Liberty, cherished [[Liberty]], |
| | + | Fight with your defenders! |
| | + | Under our [[flag]]s |
| | + | Hurry to thy manly accents, |
| | + | That your expiring enemies, |
| | + | See your triumph and our glory! |
| | + | |
| | + | Children, let Honor and Fatherland |
| | + | be the object of all our wishes! |
| | + | Let us always have souls nourished |
| | + | with fires that might inspire both |
| | + | Let us be united! Anything is possible; |
| | + | Our vile enemies will fall, |
| | + | Then the French will cease |
| | + | to sing this fierce chorus: |
| | + | |
| | + | To arms, citizens, |
| | + | Form your battalions, |
| | + | Let's march, let's march! |
| | + | Let the impure blood water our furrows!}} The governments mistreatment of citizens, students, teens and school children will take generations to heal. |
