about

The lyrics taken from the unofficial French national anthem under Napoleon. It was written in the later months of 1791 by Adrien-Simon Boy, who was the chief surgeon of the Army of the Rhine.

The music is original.

lyrics

Veillons au salut de l'empire,
Veillons au maintien de nos lois;
Si le despotisme conspire,
Conspirons la perte des rois !
Liberté ! (bis) que tout mortel te rende hommage !
Tyrans, tremblez ! vous allez expier vos forfaits !
Plutôt la mort que l'esclavage !
C'est la devise des Français.

Ennemis de la tyrannie,
Paraissez tous, armez vos bras.
Du fond de l'Europe avilie,
Marchez avec nous aux combats.
Liberté ! (bis) que ce nom sacré nous rallie.
Poursuivons les tyrans, punissons leurs forfaits !
Nous servons la même patrie:
Les hommes libres sont Français.
