Lyrics
Tu retournes au pays, camarade
Et la paix va rena? tre pour toi.
Laisse-l? ton fusil, tes grenades.
On t’esp?re en te tendant les bras.
Pense? nous, qui restons? la guerre,
Les soirs calmes o? ton c? ur aimera
Et va dire? mon p? re,? ma m? re Qu'? No? l, peut-?tre, on reviendra…
Ne leur dit rien du front.
Ne parle pas du feu
Et mens quand il faudra mentir.
Dis-leur que nous chantions
Quand tu as d? partir
En buvant tous le verre d’adieu.
Tu retournes au pays, camarade
Et la paix va rena? tre pour toi.
Laisse-l? ton fusil, tes grenades.
On t’esp?re en te tendant les bras.
Pense? nous, qui restons? la guerre,
Les soirs calmes o? ton c? ur aimera
Et va dire? mon p? re,? ma m? re Qu'? No? l, peut-?tre, on reviendra…
Lyrics translation
You're going back to the country, Comrade.
And peace will rena? be for you.
Leave him? your rifle, your grenades.
We esp?re holding out your arms.
Think? who are we staying? war,
Quiet evenings o? your c? ur aimera
And will say? my p? re,? ma m? King who? No? l, maybe?tre, we'll be back.…
Don't tell them anything from the front.
Don't talk about fire.
And lie when you have to lie.
Tell them we were singing
When did you get d? leave
Drinking all the farewell glass.
You're going back to the country, Comrade.
And peace will rena? be for you.
Leave him? your rifle, your grenades.
We esp?re holding out your arms.
Think? who are we staying? war,
Quiet evenings o? your c? ur aimera
And will say? my p? re,? ma m? King who? No? l, maybe?tre, we'll be back.…
