- Piaf in technicolor singing an anthem of the Women's March on Versailles, a signficant event in French Revolution. No longer the mournful tragedienne in black and white with tales of love and heartbreak, rather a spirited revolutionary singing boldly with brio and conviction, "The aristocrats to the lamp posts." It was the aristocrats who brought street lamps to Paris, now the people would see them hanging from them. The women stormed Versailles, demanding simply bread, which had been limited and overpriced for the people, while the royalty threw great banquets for themselves.
For the historical background of this song, go here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27...
• Ça ira
The" Ca Ira" was said to be inspired by Benjamin Franklin, then ambassador to France, who was asked how the American Revolution fared. He answered in the best French he could muster, "Ca Ira, Ca Ira." meaning " It'll be fine, It'll be fine." It 'll go well.
The song was written by a street singer and became a popular work song in 1790. It endured past its time to became a song of revolution that could have easily been parodied at Occupy encampments.
This clip is from a 1953 film produced by Sasha Guitry, "Si Versailles M'Etait Conté" (If Versailles Told me its Story). Imagine the palace of Versailles, home to French royalty since Louis XIII , laden with gold , marble, and crystal chandeliers, its fountains, manicured gardens, with Piaf hanging from the gates, supported by a ladder, singing her heart out, the poor people of France, storming the palace gates. There are many versions of this song. In one, not only do they hang the aristocrats, they stick a shovel up their asses.
Thanks to philipchek for turning me on to this song , explaining its historical background and for help translating it.
Who’s here after the Napoleon movie
Me, sadly
Me I thought it was a dwarf singing.
For me, that scene was kinda sad
Me
I used to listen to Edith Piaf before, I just didn't know this song until I saw the movie
That number playing in the background in the first few minutes of Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” was a great opening and the best part about the film. Shame it far surpassed everything after that.
Been humming it since yesterday!😅
I recently watched it and listened to the song specifically because of the scene
puppet show was pretty good as well
When you're enjoying your wine cave fundraiser and the peasants keep interrupting...
😂😂😂
Ridley Scott thanks for immortalizing this song again but you dropped the ball...
Les paroles et la voix d'Edith Piaf!! Comment ne pas avoir le frisson?...pour l'éternité!
What I like most about this singing scene: The guy that carried her up the ladder, was mainly concerned about keeping her up, and only after a while realized he should not only see for her safety, but also act as an revolutionary.
Its also well known in Yorkshire as the regimental quick time march of the Yorkshire light infantry. On remderance day each year we have inattendece guests from the French Embassy we play the Marseilles. Lovely version. Thank you for posting. Warm greetings from Yorkshire.
Quelle voix , énergie et quelle prestance
Mon dieu,
Edith piaf i gain more respect for you each day, what a joy to hear her sing such a revolutionary song.
Vive l’edith piaf ❤❤
Spoiler! this song was used in the opening sequence of Napoleon!
To be fair, Edith’s rendition of Ca Ira is incredible.
The opening with Marie Antoinette ‘s execution was very cool! “Ah! It’ll be fine! It’ll be fine!” 🇫🇷
Politicians will know they are in real trouble with the honking stops and people start singing this song.
🇫🇷 It’ll be fine!
“Il ne faut plus compter sur les nôtres, on va s’offrir maintenant les vôtres! »
Yeah, that’s the, “oh fuck, there’s no turning back now” point 🤣

I the guy, who comes here after to watch the Napoleon movie. Great Revolutionary Ça Ira song. Even the fact that Napoleon was turned king😅😅😅
joyeux 14 juillet à tous mes compatriotes......a ça ira.....
Macron to the lamp post!
"Ca ira" in this contexte does not mean "It'll be fine". It means "the aristocrats will get the noose from the lantern" It is also worth noticing that only the chorus is authentic, but not the verses: they have been written for the film, with a different melody.
beautiful
Quel frisson quand ils chantent "ah ça ira, ça ira ça ira!". Un grand respect au grand peuple français par un italien!
Encore!
It's nice you choosed to translate this one :) - For some people it may seems an unknowed "obscure" song although every French knows the melody and the "Ha ça ira, ça ira, ça ira, les artistocrates à la lanterne !". One thing I'd like to insist on, and we have talk about it, is that every sentence in the song refers to real historical facts and politic fights and claims, when this womem march to Versailles occured, which make this song more "clever" and historical than it may look at first sight for just a simple revolutionary song with banal people claims. And thanks to have found for once more a good "pretext" to listen to the wonderful voice of Edith Piaf :)
philipchek Yes, I have many Piaf LPs and CDs and this was on none of them. Thanks to philipchek for finding it for me, and for the history lesson.
MERCI!
@@VNRose3 You'd probably get a better history lesson here : The Revolution didn't "live long," as they say. It burned out its energy on civil war against the poor of Vendee, in mindless aggression against foreign countries, in ghastly atrocities against the people of Nantes, in forcing a silly new religion (Cult of the Supreme Being) on the people and punishing atheism with execution, on mass conscription for foreign wars, and then in the elevation of one man (Napoleon) and the sentencing of millions of Frenchmen to die for his wars of personal egomania. Far from "long live" the Revolution, it was far more like "not dying soon enough the Revulsion."
Faire PAX 🔱
Allô?
I never knew the French Revolution was such a feel good musical.
Maravilhosa !!!
tellement d'actualité ce jour !!!...
"Lanterne" is a French word designating a lantern or lamp post. The word or the slogan "À la lanterne !" (in English: To the Lamp Post!) gained special meaning and status in Paris and France during the early phase of the French Revolution:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80_la_lanterne
The meaning even endured and the slogan made it from Paris to other places in Europe. E.g. in the revolution of 1848 the citizens of Vienna hung up their reactionary Minister Count Latour on a Latern Post. It is said, that it was a very fun afternoon.

Anyway how are you doing today? Do you stiil have your job?

Excellent, singable translation. Could you add the lyrics above, or put a link to where they are?
Copy them off the subtitles using your pause button.
(Napoleon 2023)
A lot has been said recently about how the European Union supposedly protects workers from rogue employers. Unfortunately the opposite is the case. The EU was unable to stop the economic crisis causing havoc across Europe. The EU endorsed the bosses' offensive to make their workers pay for the crisis through increased unemployment, reduced pay and loss of employment rights.
Ça encore!
Coming soon to Thailand.

If you hate capitalism why are you on CZcams
@@user-bl8xf2oi7e bc being against capitalism does not mean u can’t be on CZcams 🙄
@@user-bl8xf2oi7e one of the most stupiest question i've ever heard.
Why are using wheel? Why are you using language? CZcams is not creation of CAPITALISM, but creation of people.
You don't even understand that we(humanity) should progress and we should change the systems too. (very very... very simplified). Socialism is not against capitalism, but it's logical continuation. The same as feudalism was changed by capitalism.
Read Marx, he said nothing about communism, no one could predict the future. His main book called - Kapital. About Capitalism.
French Revolution overthrew feudalism for capitalist... Are you dumb? Also there is a sentence in the full version of ça ira ça ira that says :
"Despotism will expires, and Liberty will triumph"
Basically it’s an anti dictatorship song
@@revolutionariesoffreedom2374 and?

@S billings said capitalist who want to exploit people and colonise other countries. All South America continent live in poverty thanks to USA. Formally they like US have capitalism but it is only umbrella and US prioapganda to cover explotation. In many countries people die from hunger to make West countries live better. U talking about capitalism after two hundred years of slavery and two world wars. Nazy Germany also was a capitalist state.
@S billings the nacional socialists were fascists they were extremely anti marxist
@S billings go read a book
@S billings Nazis base their ideology on fucking ethnic extermination, i dont see how the soviets resemble them. The only similarity I see is the presence of a dictator, Hitler who came to power through a democracy, and stalin who took power from the true communists in the october revolution. fact check ur shit mate

What year is this?
1789 !
Why do they say 300 years? I thought France had been an absolute monarchy since the days of Charlamagne. Or before if you count the Gaulic Empire. Or do they mean Louis VI's dynasty.
I think that they refer to the end of the Hundred years' War and the reconstitution of the kingdom by Louis XIV (died in 1483, the Universal Spider), founder of the modern nation concept.
Toad Lash France had been a monarchy for many centuries, but before the Hundred years War it was a feodal monarchy, where the king didn't have as much power. It is only at the end of the War that France started to shift to an absolute monarchy (especially with Louis XIV)
basically the feudal system may not have been the most fair system on earth.. but it made some logical sense... however once it became redundant(after 1500 i think) and absolute monarchy developed some remnants persisted. specifically fiscal privilages for ...doing nothing
Medieval France had a parliament. 16th c. Renaissance theorists recommended royal absolutism as the way to peace and unity in France and elsewhere, and subsequently the Bourbons ruled without convening parliament.
@@zelieranquet3390 That is correct, and even Henri IV, the first Bourbon king and Louis IXth's grandfather, ruled, albeit beneficently, without ever convening parliament.
On the bread issue, previous monarchs had understood that bread prices were often linked to unrest and had introduced price controls. Louis XVI abolished these, under the influence of laissez-fair economists.
He also literally had no more money to subsidise it...
Hi i'm french.
"Ah ca ira" means in this case "Ah it will be, it will be, it will be, the aristoctates on the floor lamp, Ah it will be, it will be, it will be, the aristoctates we will hang them", not "it'll be fine".
Thanks for your interpretation. The translation I used also came from a native French speaker in Paris.
OK, was not sure if it was clear, my english is really bad :)
Both signification could be correct, but for me "it will be" is a proof of determination like "really, its gonna happens guys, fear in your castels" :)
@@VNRose3 You've got it right, Rose; "ça ira" means "it will be fine", or "all will be fine". Ludovic Frey's understanding of English appears to be rather thin. English ''it will be'' in French is "ça sera" (there is not any situation the latter can be used as such, I mean without an object). Speaking about the state of things or people, French language uses "aller"(to go) whereby English comes up with "to be". "Comment tu vas?" (literally = how are you going?) stands for English "how are you" or "how are you doing?" Also, in French you can only use "Etre" (to be) to characterize, or define, therefore an object such as an adjective or a complement must always follow. Whenever "aller" (to go) is used either with comparatives, superlatives or without anything else, it is definitely the English equivalent of "to be" in reference to the state of someone, something, or some situation. From a core Parisian, and a French language teacher at that.
It means "it will be fine" it comes from b. Franklin. He always said "ca ira ca ira" everytime someone asked him how the revolution in the colonies was going. And he meant "it will be fine"
Ça va ="it's ok"; ça ira = "it will be ok."
Ah ! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
The people on this day repeat over and over,
Ah ! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
In spite of the mutineers everything shall succeed.
Our enemies, confounded, stay petrified
And we shall sing Alleluia
Ah ! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
When Boileau used to speak about the clergy
Like a prophet he predicted this.
By singing my little song
With pleasure, people shall say,
Ah ! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine.
According to the precepts of the Gospel
Of the lawmaker everything shall be accomplished
The one who puts on airs shall be brought down
The one who is humble shall be elevated
The true catechism shall instruct us
And the awful fanaticism shall be snuffed out.
At being obedient to Law
Every Frenchman shall train
Ah ! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine.
Pierrette and Margot sing the guinguette
Let us rejoice, good times will come !
The French people used to keep silent,
The aristocrat says, "Mea culpa!"
The clergy regrets its wealth,
Through justice, the nation will have it.
Thanks to the careful Lafayette,
Everyone will calm down.
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
By the torches of the august assembly,
Ah ! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
An armed people will always take care of themselves.
We'll know right from wrong,
The citizen will support the Good.
Ah ! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
When the aristocrat shall protest,
The good citizen will laugh in his face,
Without troubling his soul,
And will always be the stronger.
Small ones and great ones all have the soul of a soldier,
During war none shall betray.
With heart all good French people will fight,
If he sees something fishy he shall speak with courage.
Lafayette says "come if you will!"
Without fear for fire or flame,
The French always shall win!
You forgot the line where it says :
"The patriot says jadis a quia, the aristocrat says mea culpa"
I like how the song grasps the radicalisation so sharply. From a quite nice popular song, to a much more popular death threat banger.
VIVE MINERVE!

The manipulation of public opinion has long been a favoured tactic of capitalism. With the concentration of the mass media in fewer hands and ingenious research into ways of moulding popular perception, this manipulation has become much more adroit and enormously more powerful. The unscrupulous albeit sometimes subtle methods used to increase sales are now applied to the manipulation of bourgeois democracy.
