What does La Marseillaise mean in English?

"La Marseillaise" is the name of the French national anthem. It's not a direct translation, but rather the name itself.

However, the title "La Marseillaise" literally translates to "The Marseillaise" in English. It's named after the city of Marseille because the song was originally called "War Song of the Army of the Rhine" and was first sung by volunteers from Marseille who were marching on Paris in 1792.

So, "La Marseillaise" refers to both the song and the city where it originated.
