Version française:
Debout mes gaillards,
Pointons-nous vers la gloire
Fleurons ajoutons par cet an sans déboires
Sans carcans et sans joux
Tout l'honneur nous attend
Pour nous qui sommes les fils libres de l'océan
Coeur de chêne nos navires
Gailurons nos marins
Toujours fidèle au poste
Hardi! Gars! Hardi!
L'avenir est à nous les vrais...
Coeur de chêne nos navires
Gailurons nos marins
Toujours fidèle au poste
Hardi! Gars! Hardi!
L'avenir est à nous les vrais...
Conquérants

Version originale complète:
Come cheer up, my lads
'tis to glory we steer,
To add something new to this wonderful year;
Tis to honour we call you, as free men, not slaves
For who are so free as the sons of the waves?
Heart of oak our ships,
Jolly tars our men
We always are ready,
Steady, boys, steady,
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
We never see our foes but we wish them to stay;
They always see us and they wish us away.
If they run, why, we follow and drive them on shore
For if they won't fight us we cannot do more.
Heart of oak our ships,
Jolly tars our men
We always are ready,
Steady, boys, steady,
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
They say they'll invade us, these terrible foes;
They'll frighten our women, our children, our beaus.
But if they in their flat bottoms should chance to come o'er,
Stout Britons they'll find to defeat them on shore.
Heart of oak our ships,
Jolly tars our men
We always are ready,
Steady, boys, steady,
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
Britain triumphant, her ships sail the seas,
Her standard be justice, her watch ward be free,
So come cheer up my lads, with one heart let us sing,
Our soldiers, our sailors our statesmen, our Queen.
Heart of oak our ships,
Jolly tars our men
We always are ready,
Steady, boys, steady,
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again
