Текст песни
In fair Paris where legends bloom
Etienne Marcel met his doom
A tale of courage fire and pain
A merchant’s voice that broke the chain
A mayor bold for justice prayed
To guard the weak he stood unafraid
But trust was lost and blades took flight
He fell beneath the shrouded night
At Porte SaintAntoine’s gate he fell
His name the tongues of sorrow tell
The burghers wept the city mourned
For freedom’s hope by blood adorned
Oh brave Etienne steadfast true
Your voice still echoes clear and new
In hearts of those who dare the fight
For freedom’s dawn for truth’s light
So let us heed his call this day
To rise when tyrants block the way
In memory of Marcel’s flame
Let justice live beyond his name
May his legacy forever ring
In the songs that poets sing
Etienne Marcel by courage ensnared
A hero’s spirit forever declared
