Well, without reading gç's link, or looking at the lyrics again, I can tell you pretty much that it's about Napoleon. It doesn't ever mention him by name, but it references occurences in his life, and is a song of love, courage, and loyalty.

Napoleon is a fellow Ajaccian Corsican and Alizée, being Ajaccian herself, is no doubt proud of that fact. This song and Mon Maquis are both very heavily influenced by Alizée's Corsican identity.

If I get off my butt and do some translations of songs again, I'll be sure to include this one.
