French Lyrics
Vive Henri quatre
Vive ce Roi vaillant
Ce diable à quatre
A le triple talent
De boire et de battre,
Et d'être un vert galant.
De boire et de battre,
Et d'être un vert galant.
Au diable guerres,
Rancunes et partis !
Comme nos pères
Chantons en vrais amis,
Au choc des verres,
Les roses et les lys.
Au choc des verres,
Les roses et les lys.
Chantons l'antienne
Qu'on chantera dans mille ans
Que Dieu maintienne
En paix ses descendants
Jusqu‘a ce qu'on prenne,
La Lune avec les dents.
Jusqu‘a ce qu'on prenne,
La Lune avec les dents.
Vive la France!
Vive le roi Henri!
Qu‘a Reims on danse
En disant comme Paris
Vive la France!
Vive le roi Henri!
Vive la France!
Vive le roi Henri!
English Lyrics
Long live Henry IV
Long live this valiant king
This fourfold devil
Of three talents
Of drinking, fighting
And womanising.
Of drinking, fighting
And womanising.
To hell with wars,
Grudges and partisanship!
Like our fathers
Let us sing as true friends,
Clink the glasses,
The roses and the lilies.
Clink the glasses,
The roses and the lilies.
Let us sing the refrain
That we will sing in a thousand years
May God maintain
His descendants in peace
Until we take the moon
With our teeth.
Until we take the moon
With our teeth.
Long live France!
Long live king Henry!
To Reims we dance
Singing as they do in Paris
Long live France!
Long live king Henry!
Long live France!
"Marche Henri IV", was the National of France from 1590 to 1792 and again during the Bourbon restoration, 1814 to 1830.It is now a popular French song celebrating King Henry IV of France. The melody comes from Thoinot Arbeau's work Orchesographie; it is the Branle Couppé "Cassandre", while the lyrics were written for a comedy opera in 1770.
