Un Marseillaise special pour le TOTAL et le SPDC

(A Special Marseillaise for TOTAL and SPDC)

(By Dr. David  P. (Pe Aung)  Law)

La Marseillaise,  from the first time I heard it years ago,  brings tears to my eyes,  stirs my heart, and sends chills down  my spine.....in short, it is TOTALly inspiring and thrilling. I hope that UK Campaign members will make good use of this song while they "Marchon."

The original French lyrics were written by de Lisle in 1792. (He was a royalist, which is very ironic, don’t you think?)  Those who know the Marseillaise can use the French words in lieu of music notes. I do not have music software and so trying to cut-and-paste the music with the lyrics will take too much time and will look messy.  

I pledge --- later on ---  to write more generalized verses to inspire our fellow comrades throughout the world for demonstrations against the SPDC juggernaut. [SPDC is the acronym of Burma’s military junta]

Aux armes, citoyens du monde !  To Arms, Citizens of the World ! 

Allons enfants de la Patrie 

ALAS! TO-TAL, UNO-CAL THEY O--NLY CARE 

Le jour de gloire est arrive

TO MAKE THEIR PROF---ITS OUT OF GAS 

Contre nous, de la tyrannie 

THEY ARE WIL--LING TO DEAL WITH THE TYRANTS 

L'etandard sanglant est leve

THEY DON'T CARE HOW MA---NY MUST DIE 

L'etandard sanglant est leve 

THEY DON'T CARE HOW THE PEOPLE MUST SLAVE 

Entendez-vous, dans la compagnes

THE SOL-DIERS  R--OB  AND THEY  WILL RAA--APE 

Mugir ces farouches soldats 

SLORC WILL  DESTROY AND WILL  KILL 

Ills viennent jusque dans nos bras

TO BUILD TO--TAL'S LONG PIPE LINE 

Egorger vos fils,  vos compagnes

THROUGH WHICH BLO---OD,  &SWEAT,   &TEARS   WILL FLOW 

Aus armes citoyens!

LET'S GO----     AROUND THE W---ORLD --[OR]--  & DEMONSTR--ATE! 

Formez vos bataillons,

COND---EMN TO - TAL AND SLORC 

Marchons, marchons!

MARCH ON, MARCH ON! 

Qu'un sang impur

AUNG SAN SUU KYI--- 

Abreuve nos sillons.

AND B---URMA MUST BE  FREE!
