Bonne Fête Nationale (Happy National Celebration)!
By: Julien | July 14th, 2008
Today is France’s national holiday Fête Nationale (Bastille Day for Anglophones). Sorry, no Lille updates today. This quatorze juillet like many others I remember and thank all the Frenchman that risked their lives fighting for France: strangers and relatives. From the oppressive kings to the fascist Nazis they fought on. Personally, I thank my great grandfathers that were a medic and alpine soldier in WWI. And of course my grandparents that had to endure the atrocities of Nazi occupation in wartorn Northern France. Vive la France! Vive la république!
Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L’étendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Egorger vos fils, vos compagnes !
Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons !
Qu’un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !
