The composer of the song is unknown, and it is believed to have been written by a prisoner who was held in the prisons of Nantes during the French Revolution. The song was first performed in the late 18th century and quickly became popular among the French people. It was often sung by prisoners who were held in the prisons of Nantes, and it became a symbol of their struggle for freedom and justice. The song is composed of three movements, each of which tells a different story. The first movement describes the harsh conditions of the prisons of Nantes, where prisoners were often subjected to torture and abuse. The second movement tells the story of a young woman who is imprisoned for her political beliefs and is eventually executed. The third movement is a call to arms, urging the French people to rise up against their oppressors and fight for their freedom.
