Bourdeaux, Poitiers, au son de la Campane,

A grande classe ira jusqu’a Langon,

Contre Gaulois sera leur Tramontane,

Quand Monstre hideux naistra pres de Orgon.

Bourdeaux, Poitiers, at the sound of the Bell,

With a great Navy shall go as far as Langon,

Against the French shall their Tramontane be,

When an hideous Monster shall be born near Orgon.
