Monaco National Anthem Lyrics

Monaco

Original French Words

Principaut� Monaco ma patrie,

Oh! Combien Dieu est prodigue pour toi.

Ciel toujours pur, rives toujours fleuries,

Ton Souverain est plus aim� qu'un Roi.

(repeat)


Fiers Compagnon de la Garde Civique,

Respectons tous la voix du Commandant.

Suivons toujours notre banni�re antique.

Le tambour bat, marchons tous en Avant.

(repeat)


Oui, Monaco connut toujours des braves,

Nous sommes tous leurs dignes descendants.

En aucun temps nous ne f�mes esclaves.

Et loin de nous, r�gn�rent les tyrans.

(repeat)


Que le nom d'un Prince plein de cl�mence

Soit rep�t� par mille et mille chants.

Nous mourons tous pour sa propre d�fense,

Mais apr�s nous, combattrons nos enfants.

(repeat)



English:

Principality of Monaco, my country,

Oh! how God is lavish with you.

An ever-clear sky, ever-blossoming shores,

Your Sovereign is better liked than a King.

(repeat)


Proud Fellows of the Civic Guard,

Let us all listen to the Commander's voice.

Let us always follow our ancient flag.

Drums are beating, let us all march forward.

(repeat)


Yes, Monaco always had brave men.

We all are their worthy descendants.

We never were slaves,

And far from us ruled the tyrants.

(repeat)


Let the name of a Prince full of clemency

Be repeated in thousands and thousands of songs.

We shall all die in his defence,

But after us, our children will fight.

(repeat)
