Lyrics and translation Sir Andrew Davis feat. BBC Singers, BBC Symphony Chorus, BBC Symphony Orchestra & Bryn Terfel - Rule Britannia!




Rule Britannia!
Rule Britannia!
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Règne, Britannia ! Britannia, règne sur les mers !
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
Les Britanniques ne seront jamais, jamais, jamais esclaves !
When Britain first, at heaven's command,
Lorsque la Grande-Bretagne, à la commande du ciel,
Arose from out the azure main,
S’éleva du bleu océan,
This was the charter of the land,
C’était la charte de la terre,
And Guardian Angels sang this strain:
Et les Anges Gardiens ont chanté cette mélodie :
The nations not so blest as thee
Les nations qui ne sont pas aussi bénies que toi
Must, in their turn, to tyrants fall,
Doivent, à leur tour, tomber sous le joug des tyrans,
While thou shalt flourish great and free:
Alors que toi, tu fleuriras grande et libre :
The dread and envy of them all.
La terreur et l’envie de tous.
Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
Encore plus majestueuse tu te lèveras,
More dreadful from each foreign stroke,
Plus redoutable à chaque coup de l’étranger,
As the loud blast that tears the skies
Comme le souffle violent qui déchire les cieux
Serves but to root thy native oak.
Ne sert qu’à enraciner ton chêne natal.
Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame;
Les tyrans hautains ne t’apprivoiseront jamais ;
All their attempts to bend thee down
Tous leurs efforts pour te soumettre
Will but arouse thy generous flame,
Ne feront qu’attiser ta flamme généreuse,
But work their woe and thy renown.
Mais entraîneront leur malheur et ta gloire.
To thee belongs the rural reign;
Le règne rural t’appartient ;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine;
Tes villes brilleront du commerce ;
All thine shall be the subject main,
La mer entière te sera soumise,
And every shore it circles, thine.
Et chaque rivage qu’elle encercle t’appartiendra.
The Muses, still with freedom found,
Les Muses, toujours trouvées avec la liberté,
Shall to thy happy coasts repair.
Se rendront sur tes côtes heureuses.
Blest isle! with matchless beauty crowned,
Île bénie ! Couronnée d’une beauté incomparable,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.
Et de cœurs virils pour protéger la beauté.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Règne, Britannia ! Britannia, règne sur les mers !
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves
Les Britanniques ne seront jamais, jamais, jamais esclaves !
