“How many contain *girt*”
“For 43 years I’ve thought it was “For we are young and free”
Edit: Lol, for 38 of those years, it was.”
“I only recently discovered how brutal the French national anthem is. The choicest part is in the first verse:
>Do you hear in the countryside,
Those blood-thirsty soldiers ablare?
They’re coming right into your arms
To tear the throats of your sons, your wives!Immediately followed by the refrain, which is about watering France’s fields with the impure blood of its enemies.”
