The lyrics of this song were written in 1861 by Frantz Liouville. This is not the original composition of the song.
The translation of the song is as follows:

[Verse]
Long live Lamoricière! Let us all repeat all in chorus.
His noble war cry: To lose life is to save honour.

[Refrain]
Forward! Let us march, Forward! Let us march.
Zouaves of the Pope, up to the front.
Forward! Let us march, Forward! Let us march.
The Pope looks to us.
Forward battalion!

[Verse]
Because our general, who knows his glory,
Carries us on to victory, to victory as to a ball.

[Verse]
It will be on our lips, by facing the cannon,
O noble Becdelièvre, the cry of your old battalion.

[Verse]
And you, brave Charette, you, our commander,
Always at our head, you will lead us forward.

[Verse]
And when comes the moment to die,
Without fear and reproach, the Zouaves will see it coming.

[Verse]
You the old comrades, so proud and so valiant,
As when on parade, sing again, despite the years.

[Verse]
And you, green youth, our sons and our nephews,
Repeat without weakness, the cry of the strong, the cry of the veterans.

[Verse]
Ah! If ever the Church calls upon your arms,
Keep our motto: a Zouzou does not retreat!
