Quoi ! cette horde anthropophage
Que l'enfer vomit de son flanc
Prêche le meurtre et le carnage
Elle est couverte de ton sang
Devant tes yeux, de la patrie
Elle assassine les enfants
Et médite une boucherie
Digne de tes représentants
La nature avec vous conspire
Contre tous les conspirateurs
Partout la Tyrannie expire
Partout nos drapeaux sont vainqueurs
Le Stathouder a pris la fuite
Nous abandonnant ses vaisseaux
Et la Terreur marche à sa suite
Digne compagne des bourreaux
La révolution mon fils
Si t’as quelque chose entre les cuisses
C’est un devoir, non pas un sacrifice
Après deux siècles de sursis
La saloperie refait surface
La Royauté n'est plus ici
Mais la bourgeoisie la remplace
Quand ça va bien ça ne va qu’un temps
Le peuple atténue ses grimaces
Et s’qu'on appelle gouvernement
Fait régner la lutte des classes
Une remise en question mon fils
Si sans-culottes n’est pas factice
C’est ton devoir d’appliquer la justice
Réveille-toi, peuple de frères
Et frappe ces affreux tyrans
Qui, sans pitié de ta misère
Te font languir, toi, tes enfants
Réveille-toi, je le répète
De la foudre arme ton bras
Elle gronde déjà sur leur tête
Et bientôt elle les écrasera
La révolution mon fils
Si t’as quelque chose entre les cuisses
C’est un devoir, non pas un sacrifice
Une remise en question mon fils
Si sans-culottes n’est pas factice
C’est un devoir d’appliquer la justice
Appliquons la justice

I  Agree!!
Energising music. Sounds a lot like Mano Negra and the (very) early Manu Chao days.

What!  This cannibalistic horde
That hell vomits from its side
Preach murder and carnage
She's covered in your blood
Before your eyes, from the homeland
She murders the children
And meditates a butcher's shop
Worthy of your representatives
Nature conspires with you
Against all conspirators
Everywhere Tyranny expires
Everywhere our flags are victorious
The Stadtholder fled
Abandoning us his ships
And the Terror walks in its wake
Worthy companion of the executioners
The revolution my son
If you have something between your thighs
It’s a duty, not a sacrifice
After two centuries of reprieve
The bastard resurfaces
Royalty is no longer here
But the bourgeoisie replaces it
When it's going well it's only going for a while
The people soften their grimaces
And we call it government
Make the class struggle reign
A questioning my son
If sans-culottes is not fake
It is your duty to apply justice
Wake up, people of brothers
And strike those awful tyrants
Who, without pity for your misery
Make you languish, you, your children
Wake up, I repeat
Lightning arms your arm
She's already growling on their heads
And soon she will crush them
The revolution my son
If you have something between your thighs
It’s a duty, not a sacrifice
A questioning my son
If sans-culottes is not fake
It is a duty to apply justice
Apply justice




Thank You for the translation!!   GREAT TUNE!!   
Mon dieu!

bump
french flair  :)
I kind of realized there's almost nothing in the RP playlist from Europe in the 1980s and early 1990s, except for songs from the UK and that Nena song.  Good to see there's a few exceptions.  Let's have more vintage Europe music.
EXCELLENT!!
Joe Strummer, cloned as a Frenchman

No he doesn't.  He sounds like Bob Dylan if Dylan could sing.  Why compare?

No he doesn't. He sounds like Helno and Bob Dylan sounds like Bob Dylan. Why compare? 
fan of Negresses Vertes from years ago!!
Singer sounds like Dylan

And whoever is singing needs a beer after that workout.
Btw Bill, The title of the song is 200 Ans d'Hypocrisie and not d'Hypocrosie.

Thanks desde Argentina

Rock on Radio Paradise!! Great music to garden with!!!
Alors que les radios françaises nous gavent de musique nul et de pseudos artistes, RP diffuse les Negressses Vertes, la Mano Negra, Lou Douillon et bien d'autres vraiment merci RP.

not good because it's French, it's good because it^s good. Doesn't make a difference where it comes from.


Is there something wrong with someone celebrating the appearance of a good French-language song, though?

Mix-music from Sud-Ouest of France. Not from circus ...


Music from Sud-Ouest of France 
If you don't have the volume very loud it kinda sounds like Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros!

An amazing band, who's singer left us too young at too early. 
Fiddler on the Roof remix?
This song  should be followed by Mano Solo-alo Paris . Same vocal energy, same era, not to mention sad destiny of Helno and Mano. Heroin is bad !
The title should be renamed as "200 ans d'hypocrisie" as song about the heritage of revolution two hundred years after... And as a fact, a scle of incoming which is what she was when the aristocracy had the power. The bourgeoisie takes the place of the king, the profiters of the crisis are the profiters of the holy economic war, the unemployment makes the work harder, all slaves of this system, all taking a look at the others to criticize the differences, populism makes honey with that, the revolution has a new time coming.
I recomend RP to play Lithuanian alternative music group "Antikvariniai Kaspirovskio dantys", http://www.antikvariniaikaspirovskiodantys.lt/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGiXd_9WQEWSfdCYxM66Tbw/videos


Well, that was a shot of espresso!
I'm liking the zeal and energy on this one, going with a 7 for now!
Thanks for adding to the playlist, BillG, and Long Live RP!!
