La Catholique

For over 1900 years, France has been the land of Jesus
From the Franks and the Gauls, France has always said 'I believe'
Bold against the clique without a homeland and without God
For the Catholic faith, France stands tall because God wills it
Let's sing the Catholic, long live France and God

The beautiful France of Clovis, Charlemagne, and Saint Louis
Of Joan of Arc and Bayard, towards God lifted its clear gaze
Bold against the clique without a homeland and without God
For the Catholic faith, France stands tall because God wills it
Let's sing the Catholic, long live France and God

But a band of vultures hovering over it in our days
Has cast a shadow on the cross and reduced France to distress
Bold against the clique without a homeland and without God
For the Catholic faith, France stands tall because God wills it
Let's sing the Catholic, long live France and God

France weeps and reaches out its arms, woe to those who do not hear
Cursed be those who dare not move when their mother is in danger
Bold against the clique without a homeland and without God
For the Catholic faith, France stands tall because God wills it
Let's sing the Catholic, long live France and God

Our proud ancestors fought to give us freedom
To preserve such a treasure, let's fight like them until death
Bold against the clique without a homeland and without God
For the Catholic faith, France stands tall because God wills it
Let's sing the Catholic, long live France and God

Without fear, let's risk our skin for the cross and for the flag
Around them, if we stand united, through these two signs we will conquer
Bold against the clique without a homeland and without God
For the Catholic faith, France stands tall because God wills it
Let's sing the Catholic, long live France and God
