because those usually lose the spirit of the message, but this is accurate and captures the spirited tone.

I will carry (our ideals) across the goal,
But now, your responsibility
Is to go throughout France
And carry us to victory.

What I want from you
Is that people everywhere
Go out and make that victory a reality
because we have a mission.

Long live France
Long live the Republic
