Le Retour des Princes Français à Paris
"The return of the French Princes to Paris"

"Le Retour des Princes français à Paris" was the de facto national anthem of France during the Bourbon Restoration. It uses the melody of the then popular marching tune Vive Henri IV.[1]

French Lyrics

La paix ramène
Tous les Princes Français
Chantons l’antienne,
Aujourd’hui désormais
Que ce bonheur tienne
Vive le Roi !
Vive la Paix!
Vive la France
Et les sages Bourbons
Plein de clémence,
Dont tous les cœurs sont bons!
La Paix, l’abondance
Viendront dans nos cantons.
Quelle joie extrême
Vive, vive d’Artois!
Duc d’Angoulême!
Chantons tous à la fois
Louis dix-huitième,
Descendant de nos rois!
Le diadème
De France est pour un Roi,
Notre vœu même
Est la raison pourquoi,
Oui, Louis nous aime,
Vive, vive le Roi!
Plus de tristesse,
Vive, vive Louis!
Princes, princesses,
Nous sommes réjouis,
Que les allégresses
Règnent dans tous pays !

English Translation

Peace returns
All French Princes
Sing the anthem,
Today and henceforth
May this happiness hold!
Long live the King! Long live peace!
Long live France
And the wise Bourbons
Merciful,
Whose hearts are all good!
Peace, abundance
Come in our townships.
What extreme joy
Live, vivacious Artois!
Duke of Angouleme!
Sing all for
Louis the eighteenth
Descendant of kings!
The diadem
Of France is a king
Our hope even
Is the reason why
Yes, Louis loves us,
Long live the King!
No more sadness,
Long live Louis!
Princes, princesses,
We are delighted,
That joys
Prevail in all countries!
