Ma France (original)Ma France (translation)
De plaines en forêts de vallons en collines From plains to forests from valleys to hills
Du printemps qui va naître à tes mortes saisons From the spring that will be born to your dead seasons
De ce que j’ai vécu à ce que j’imagine From what I've been through to what I imagine
Je n’en finirai pas d'écrire ta chanson I won't stop writing your song
Ma France My France
Au grand soleil d'été qui courbe la Provence To the great summer sun that bends Provence
Des genêts de Bretagne aux bruyères d’Ardèche From the broom of Brittany to the heather of Ardèche
Quelque chose dans l’air a cette transparence Something in the air has this transparency
Et ce goût du bonheur qui rend ma lèvre sèche And this taste of happiness that makes my lip dry
Ma France My France
Cet air de liberté au-delà des frontières That air of freedom beyond borders
Aux peuples étrangers qui donnaient le vertige To foreign people who made you dizzy
Et dont vous usurpez aujourd’hui le prestige And whose prestige you usurp today
Elle répond toujours du nom de Robespierre She always answers to the name of Robespierre
Ma France My France
Celle du vieil Hugo tonnant de son exil That of old Hugo thundering from his exile
Des enfants de cinq ans travaillant dans les mines Five-year-old children working in the mines
Celle qui construisit de ses mains vos usines She who built your factories with her hands
Celle dont monsieur Thiers a dit qu’on la fusille The one Monsieur Thiers said was being shot
Ma France My France
Picasso tient le monde au bout de sa palette Picasso holds the world at the end of his palette
Des lèvres d'Éluard s’envolent des colombes From the lips of Eluard fly away doves
Ils n’en finissent pas tes artistes prophètes They do not end your artists prophets
De dire qu’il est temps que le malheur succombe To say it's time for misfortune to succumb
Ma France My France
Leurs voix se multiplient à n’en plus faire qu’une Their voices multiply into one
Celle qui paie toujours vos crimes vos erreurs The one who always pays for your crimes, your mistakes
En remplissant l’histoire et ses fosses communes By filling in history and its mass graves
Que je chante à jamais celle des travailleurs May I forever sing that of the workers
Ma France My France
Celle qui ne possède en or que ses nuits blanches The one who only has gold in her sleepless nights
Pour la lutte obstiné de ce temps quotidien For the stubborn struggle of this daily time
Du journal que l’on vend le matin d’un dimanche Of the newspaper that is sold on a Sunday morning
A l’affiche qu’on colle au mur du lendemain On the poster that we stick to the wall of tomorrow
Ma France My France
Qu’elle monte des mines descende des collines Let her go up from the mines come down from the hills
Celle qui chante en moi la belle la rebelle The one who sings in me the beautiful the rebel
Elle tient l’avenir, serré dans ses mains fines She holds the future, tight in her slender hands
Celle de trente-six à soixante-huit chandelles That of thirty-six to sixty-eight candles
Ma FranceMy France
