Lyrics

Maréchal, nous voilà! (French)	Marshal, here we are! (English translation)
Une flamme sacrée Monte du sol natal, Et la France enivrée Te salue, Maréchal! Tous tes enfants qui t’aiment Et vénèrent tes ans, À ton appel suprême Ont répondu: Présent! Chorus: Maréchal, nous voilà! Devant toi, le sauveur de la France, Nous jurons, nous tes gars De servir et de suivre tes pas. Maréchal, nous voilà! Tu nous as a redonné l'espérance La patrie renaîtra, Maréchal, Maréchal, Nous voilà! Tu as lutté sans cesse Pour le salut commun On parle avec tendresse Du héros de Verdun… En nous donnant ta vie, Ton génie et ta foi, Tu sauves la patrie Une seconde fois. Chorus	A sacred flame Rises from the native soil, And France enraptured Greets you, Marshal! All your children who love you And worship your years, To your supreme call, Have responded: Present! Chorus: Marshal, here we are! Before you, France's saviour, We swear, we your guys, To serve and follow your feats Marshal, here we are! You regave us hope The Fatherland will be reborn, Marshal, Marshal, Here we are! You fought unceasingly For the common salvation We speak tenderly About Verdun's hero... By giving us your life, Your genius and your faith, You save the homeland A second time. Chorus
