French text
Escoutez tous, gentils Gallois,
La victoire du noble roi François
Et orez, si bien escoutez,
des coups ruez de touts costés.
Fifres soufflez, frappez tambours,
Soufflez, jouez, sonnez toujours,
Tournez, virez, faites vos tours,
Soufflez, jouez, sonnez toujours.
Avanturiers, bons compagnons,
Ensemble croisez vos bastons.
La lance au point, hardis et prompts,
Nobles sautez dans les arçons,
Hardis comme lyons.
Donnez dedans, frappez, criez
Allarme, allarme, allarme.
Chacun s’asaisonne, chacun se saisonne.
La fleur de lys, fleur de haut prix,
Y est en personne.
Sonnez trompettes et clairons
Pour réjouir les compaignons.
A l’étendard tost avant
Boutez selle, boutez selle.
Bruyez bombardes et canons
Pour secourir les compaignons.
Courage, donnez des horions
Tue, tue, tue, chipe, chope, torche,
A mort, à mort, donnez dessus
Frappez dessus, ruez dessus,
Ils sont perdus, ils sont confus.
Victoire au noble roi François !
