Danton
What's your name, Citizen?
Danton.
Hey, Danton!
The work of the French Revolution, my fellow citizens
When everything's going very well. You see,
In the year 1973,
When the people, become wise,
Has built its landscape
And turned France into a yard*,
The work of the French Revolution,
In the 73s,
Will overflow our religions
What's your name, Citizen?
Danton, sir.
Don't fall into delirium, fellow citizens.
Revolutions produce Empires. You see,
If the nation is purified too much,
You will put my revolution
In the hands of a military man
Who will make sword leaps
The ramparts of your illusions.
He will claim our victories
And identify his name
To be broken by your failures.
What's your name, Citizen?
Danton, Danton, Danton.
The poor need the church.
It's kind of where they can be human.
To burn their God is foolishness,
As the Romans already did.
They always have, in their misery,
The certainty of a savior.
Let them believe in their vision.
Drive Robespierre away from us,
Consumed by hate and anger,
This powerless, crazy ambitious man
This powerless, crazy ambitious man.
What's your name, Citizen?
I told you already: Danton.
Don't give in to terror, my fellow citizens.
Let the innocent live. You see,
Don't water the dictators
Who will drink your blood tomorrow.
President, let me speak.
I want to save you too.
You are preparing your future
Where the dogs of the Convention,
In turn, will be the martyrs
Of a counter-revolution.
Danton.
I am never afraid of anything, my fellow citizens.
And I'm not afraid of these dogs, you see,
Who are persisting in biting the hand
That showed them the way.
They are afraid, barking from afar.
You're hiding, Maximilien.
As for you, corrupt court,
You are assassinating the homeland.
It's for the honor of an entire people
That Danton spits in your face.
What's your name, Citizen?
Danton, Danton, Danton.
I had no other ambition
Than the happiness of the nation,
And no other greed
Than for peace and freedom.
Did Louis Capet pay me
To have him guillotined?
And Mirabeau? And Dumourier?...
The true French Revolution,
Despite the crazies in the Committee,
It's my French Revolution,
And I'm the one who invented it
What's your name, Citizen?
Danton! Are you deaf or what?
It's your father being killed, my fellow citizens.
We're afraid of the truth. You see,
The incorruptible is corrupted.
It's him you need to cleanse.
But history will judge him,
And it's my name that will remain
In the schools of tomorrow.
At the mere word of Revolution,
Children will raise their hand:
"The Revolution is Danton!"
(Accused of lukewarmness by Robespierre
He was guillotined in 1794.)
