Casablanca and the Marseillaise

“Here’s looking at you, kid!”

Over New Year’s, I watched Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Again. I have no idea how many times I’ve watched it and each time I am stirred by the French National Anthem when it is sung in the bar scene at Rick’s Café American. Such passion! And such a beautiful melody! But I’ve never had any idea what the words meant.

YouTube to the rescue! To this post, I’m adding the French/English lyrics to La Marseillaise. If you’ve never heard the English translation, I think you’ll be surprised. I know I was shocked. Absolutely shocked! 

Happy New Year to all of my readers. Thanks for sticking with me!                                                                                            Janelle
