Belarusian Marseillaise
The name "Belarusian Marseillaise" (Belarusian: «Беларуская Марсельеза») has been used to refer to two Belarusian patriotic songs.
Above all, "Belarusian Marseillaise" is another name for the Belarusian song "We've slept for long" (
Uyezd, Minsk Governorate".[1] The song was dubbed the "Belarusian Marseillaise" for the Belarusian national and revolutionary pathos of its lyrics, but was sung to a different tune than La Marseillaise
.
In late 1980s through early 1990s, the title "Belarusian Marseillaise" had also been used, occasionally, by the Belarusian national activists in relation to the song «Pahonya», with lyrics being the poem «Pahonya» by Belarusian poet
Maksim Bahdanovich and the tune, indeed, that of La Marseillaise
.
