PSG-Gesang: Die Geschichte des Gesangs "Tous ensemble on chantera"

The song "Tous ensemble on chantera" (All together we will sing) has become the unmistakable anthem of Paris Saint-Germain in just a few years. Born in 2016 in the Auteuil stand after the return of the ultras, this simple and powerful refrain now embodies the unity and passion of Parisian supporters.

Taken up by the entire Parc des Princes crowd, the chant "Tous ensemble on chantera PSG" (All together we will sing PSG) now accompanies the club's major events, from Ligue 1 matches to European nights. But what is the fascinating story behind this chant that went viral, and how did an Italian song become a Parisian symbol?

Origin of the song "Tous ensemble on chantera": a strong historical context

Contrary to what one might think, this chant from PSG supporters is recent. It made its first appearance on October 1, 2016 during a victory against Bordeaux (2-0) at the Parc des Princes, marking the official return of the ultras to the Parisian stands.

This return comes after a dark period in the club's history. In 2010, following the tragic death of Yann Lorence, a supporter from the Boulogne stand killed on the sidelines of a Classique against Marseille, the "Leproux Plan" banned ultras for six years. Supporters' associations were dissolved and a system of random seating was implemented to eradicate violence.

The creation of the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP) on February 23, 2016 marked a new beginning. "Tous ensemble on chantera" (We will sing together) emerged from this period of reconstruction, as a symbol of resilience and renewed unity.

From an Italian song to a Parisian anthem: the musical journey

The tune of the song "Tous ensemble on chantera" comes from an unexpected source: "Vuoto a perdere," a song by the Italian singer Noemi released in 2011 on her album RossoNoemi. The track, written by Vasco Rossi and Gaetano Curreri, was part of the soundtrack of the film "Maschi contro femmine."

Before arriving in Paris, the melody was first adopted by the Napoli fans, who transformed it into "Sarò con te" ("I will be with you"). The Napoli supporters, twinned with those of PSG, sing: "I will be with you, and you must not give up, we have a dream in our hearts, Napoli will become champions again."

This Italian-Parisian lineage gives the song a unique international dimension, a symbol of a football passion that transcends borders.

Words that touch the hearts of Parisian supporters

What makes this PSG chant so powerful are its emotionally charged lyrics. The refrain "After so many years, hardships and battles" resonates differently with each generation of supporters.

For the ultras who created it, it evokes the six-year stadium ban. For older supporters, it recalls the periods when Paris fought to avoid relegation or the years of violence between the Auteuil and Boulogne stands. For younger fans, it symbolizes painful defeats like the "Remontada" against Barça in 2017.

As journalist Clément Pernia, author of "A People's History of PSG," explains: "All supporters can identify with this piece. Everyone can interpret it in their own way."

Warren Zaïre-Emery and the consecration of an anthem

On August 26, 2023, a moment went viral on social media. After a 3-1 victory against Lens, Warren Zaïre-Emery, then 17 years old, went down to the foot of the Auteuil stand, took the megaphone and began to sing: "Paris SG! All together we will sing, this love we have for you, which will never cease..."

The entire Parc des Princes stadium erupts in unison, creating a moment of pure emotion. This sequence confirms that the song has become much more than just a supporters' refrain: it is now the unofficial anthem of the club, shared by players and fans alike.

Luis Enrique and the club's adoption of the chant

In June 2024, after winning the Champions League, Luis Enrique surprised everyone by singing "Tous ensemble on chantera" in French during a bike ride, a video captured on social media. The Spanish coach told the fans: "Your support has been incredible. The best is yet to come. Allez Paris!"

PSG itself embraced the phenomenon. To celebrate their 2024 French league title, the club commissioned a symphonic version of the song with a philharmonic orchestra. A few months later, an electro adaptation by DJ Michaël Canitrot was released for their 13th French league title.

Noemi, the Italian singer, was moved by this adoption.

Veronica Scopelliti, her real name, never expected her 2011 song to become a stadium anthem 13 years later. Interviewed by Le Parisien, the 43-year-old singer, a huge football fan and supporter of Roma, said she was "honored":

“Hearing so many people in this huge stadium all singing this melody together is a dream come true. It’s an honor, on my own small scale, to be part of this great story. I would love to come and sing for PSG one day!”

The artist even confided that in Naples, during her concerts, she can no longer sing the original version: "When the chorus starts, everyone starts singing the stadium version!"
