1. Rise, O immortal one of knowledge
The knowledge of courage and generosity

2. Rise, O first revolutionaries
And take it to the highest of peaks

3. Awaken those who slumber
In every land like a pyramid

4. When their rebel rose against
The tyranny of an unjust ruler

5. So they surged united
Like the waves of battle

6. With no weapon but their zeal
And no arms but their chests

7. They broke the shackles and wrecked
The bridge of injustice till it collapsed

8. And claimed their independence
From the molten iron of resolve

9. How powerful are the weak
When united and bonded as one

10. No people attain their right
From an oppressor but by blood

11. Glory to you, O France
For your day is the day of nations

12. The day of true salvation
Nay, the day of valor and pride
