Merci tout de votre information!

FD, I'm sure you will let me discover a new world for the jazz but .....I'm just buried by Bolamix's great list of the french singers. Learning paroles francais is great fun to me, and I've learnt many new vocab in such a quick way.

Hmm, accidentally what I'm hearing is La Marseillaise--- (solo by Piaf).
The parole of french anthem and the chinese one (People Republic of China) are very similar. They all talk about liberation, ask their people to marchon, combat la tyrannie, et le jour gloire est arrive. The difference may be how to use the blood. While French anthem insists qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons, chinese one says to use our own blood to build the new Great Wall. The resemblance may explain why La Marseillaise has been widely discussed in chinese internet forums.
