The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Quand un soldat" by Yves Montand.
Lyrics
Fleur au fusil tambour battant il va
Il a vingt ans un cœur d´amant qui bat
Un adjudant pour surveiller ses pas
Et son barda contre ses flancs qui bat
Quand un soldat s´en va-t-en guerre il a
Dans sa musette son bâton d´maréchal
Quand un soldat revient de guerre il a
Dans sa musette un peu de linge sale
Partir pour mourir un peu
A la guerre à la guerre
C´est un drôle de petit jeu
Qui n´va guère aux amoureux
Pourtant c´est presque toujours
Quand revient l´été
Qu´il faut s´en aller
Le ciel regarde partir
Ceux qui vont mourir
Au pas cadencé
Des hommes il en faut toujours
Car la guerre car la guerre
Se fout des serments d´amour
Elle n´aime que l´son du tambour
Quand un soldat s´en va-t-en guerre il a
Des tas de chansons et des fleurs sous ses pas
Quand un soldat revient de guerre il a
Simplement eu d´la veine et puis voilà…
Lyrics translation
Flower at gun drum beating it goes
He is twenty years old a beating heart
An adjutant to monitor his steps
And his barda against his flanks beating
When a sen soldier goes to war he has
In her snatch her staff Marshal
When a soldier returns from war he has
In her musette a little dirty laundry
Leave to die a little
To war to war
This is a funny little game
Who NVA hardly to lovers
Yet it is almost always
When summer returns
Who needs to go
The sky looks away
Those who will die
At the clocked pitch
Men are always needed
For war for war
Don't give a shit about swearing.
She naime than lson of the drum
When a sen soldier goes to war he has
Heaps of songs and flowers under his footsteps
When a soldier returns from war he has
Just had DLA vein and then here it is…
