Au Palais Royal [English translation]
Au Palais Royal [English translation]
Danton Danton it's Danton
Glory to these ladies
Who pay for my ugliness
To the delight of my soul
Glory to the scoundrels
Who, on street corners, scare
These cowards of Versailles
In the royal palace jesters are kings
In the royal palace pleasures make the law
It takes boldness and more boldness
For the citizens down there
It will be fine*
A man loses his life for
A woman's smile (ye-ye-ye-ye-yeye)
In the swindlers' paradise
In gambling halls
The bourgeois rub shoulders with the infamous (ye-ye-ye-ye-yeye)
And they tear each other's guts out over a word
In the royal palace jesters are kings
In the royal palace pleasures make the law
It takes boldness and more boldness
To the citizens down there
Ha! ha! ha!
Danton is in the house
It will be fine
Glory to our dreams
Which lie sleeping under misery
Which our anger raises up
Glory to this day
When the country is waking up
Look, it is finally our turn
In the royal palace jesters are kings
In the royal palace pleasures make the law
It takes boldness and more boldness
For the citizens down there
Boldness and still more boldness
It will be fine
