Ça Ira

Following the gospel's guiding light,
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
The lawmaker's will shall be fulfilled.
Those who rise will be brought down;
Those who bow will be lifted up.
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright!

The true teachings will guide us
And false fanaticism will fade away
To be obedient to the law
And every American will take part.
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright.

Despite the rebels, all will succeed.
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright.

The people today keep repeating
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
And in 2000 years, we'll remember,
Despotism will breathe its last;
Freedom will triumph.
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright.

We have no more nobles, no more priests,
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright.
Equality will reign everywhere.
The Austrian slave will follow suit,
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright.
And their hellish clique
Will fly off to the devil.

Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
The aristocrats to the gallows,
Ah! it'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright
The aristocrats, we’ll hang them.
