TRANSLATION 
1 0 Prince Eugene was walking 
In Paris town, one day, 
Escorting three fair ladies 
All hail to love! 
Upon their homeward way. 
Long live the fleur de lis! 
2 Escorting three fair ladies 
Upon their homeward way: 
When they had reached their dwelling. 
All hail to love! 
They asked: “O will you stay? 
Long live the fleur de lis! 
3 When they had reached their dwelling. 
They asked, ‘*0 will you stay? 
“No, no! Nay, nay! fair ladies, 
All hail to love! 
Homeward I take my way.” 
Long live the fleur de lis! 
4 When he has climbed the hill-side. 
Turning about, he sees 
A score of men approaching, 
All hail to love! 
His greatest enemies. 
Long live the fleur de lis! 
5 “Do you recall, Prince Eugene, 
One day, in Paris town. 
Before the king and courtiers, 
All hail to love! 
You called my son a clown?” 
Long live the fleur de lis! 
6 “Be on your guard, Prince Eugene, 
Your debt must now be paid!” 
His hand has grasped the sword-hilt, 
All hail to love! 
And drawn the golden blade. 
Long live the fleur de lis!
