Coda

I posted a version of "La Marsaillaise" on Bastille Day. The more I looked at it, the more I realized that the chorus of that version was much tamer than what I rememebered. Wikipedia has a much more complete version.

The chorus looks like this:

Aux armes, citoyens ! ......To arms, citizens!
Formez vos bataillons ! .....Form your battalions!
Marchons, marchons ! ......Let us march, let us march!
Qu'un sang impur ............May tainted blood
Abreuve nos sillons ! .......Water our fields!

Much better. Much ... bloodier.
