De Barcelone par Mer si grande Armée,

Toute Marseille de frayeur tremblera,

Isles saisies, de Mer aide fermeé,

Ton traditeur en Terre nagera.

There shall come from Barcelona by Sea so great a fleet,

That Marseilles shall quake for fear,

The Islands shall be seized, the help by Sea shut up,

Thy Traitor shall swim to Land.
