Lyrics
Verse 1
They called us mad, they called us vile
Des femmes perdues, sans foi, sans style
But we lit flames to light the sky
Pas pour brĂ»ler â pour ne pas plier
Chorus
đ„ Elles mettent le feu !
La Commune vit !
Striking the match so the world can see
đ„ Elles mettent le feu !
Pas dâretour !
Liberty's born where the sparks endure
Verse 2
No throne, no priest, no master here
On se soulĂšve, sans dieux, sans peur
They came with chains, we came with light
Nos mains brĂ»lĂ©es mais prĂȘtes Ă fight
Chorus
đ„ Elles mettent le feu !
La Commune vit !
Striking the match so the world can see
đ„ Elles mettent le feu !
Pas dâretour !
Liberty's born where the sparks endure
Bridge (spoken, in French)
On n'Ă©tait pas des folles â
on Ă©tait des femmes en feu,
des cĆurs rouges dans la nuit,
prĂȘtes Ă brĂ»ler lâordre ancien.
Pour chaque pierre lancée,
une page dâhistoire allumĂ©e.
Final Chorus
đ„ Elles mettent le feu !
La Commune vit !
Striking the match so the world can see
đ„ Elles mettent le feu !
Pas dâretour !
Liberty's born where the sparks endure
