To Mserafin :
In the song, it's the "lantern" (lanterne) not the "lamppost" (lampadaire), because the lampposts did not exist at the time , it was neither lanterns nor lampposts, but street lamps (réverbère) …
Thus in 1667 the French authorities, would be the first to place in the middle and at the two ends of each street lanterns filled with candles and this custom was generalized to all the cities of France …
In 1766, in Paris, the lanterns gave way to street lamps, so it would be more like, "Ah! Ça ira! Ça ira! Ça ira! The aristocrats at the street lamp … "
We can also sing it (in French) by using the term street lamp … But as you say it's the intention that counts…
