Ah! si, le sceptre en main,
Trop fier d’un pouvoir surhumain,
Roi, tu prétends éclipser notre gloire,
À la victoire
On nous verra marcher soudain.

Malgré ta couronne
Tu trembleras,
Et de ton trône
Tu redescendras.

Les bras, les âmes,
Enfants et femmes,
Tout pour nous combattra,
Tout à nous s’unira,
Et contre toi sur nos pas entraîné,
Armé du fer et des flammes,
Le peuple entier marchera.
