๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท: Fellow citizens, gather your arms to murder the invaders

@designatednerd The Japanese national anthem is so short it barely needs a summary, but basically, โ€œMay your reign last as long as rocks do.โ€ ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

@designatednerd wait, the french anthem is directed at invaders? I thought it was directed at the sitting nobility
Show threadEllen ShapiroDec 30, 2024
@gkrnours itโ€™s more obvious in the later verses (that are never sung) that itโ€™s about invaders and not the nobility, but Iโ€™m sure folks enjoy the main bitโ€™s dual purpose
