| SOLDIER'S SONG | LA BALLADE DU SOLDAT |
| | |
| The hour that the valiant man | À l’heure où le brave |
| Was heading for the war, | S’en allait la guerre. |
| His sweetheart was crying | Sa bien-aimée pleura |
| And begged him in sorrow: | Et le supplia comme ça : |
| | |
| When you fight in the battle, | – Quand tu seras là-bas dans la bataille |
| My love, I beg you, be careful! | Mon aimé, garde bien en tête. |
| Protect yourself from enemies, | De te protéger de la furie |
| From their fury and their swords. | Et de l’épée ennemies. |
| | |
| Don't avance too far ahead | Il ne faut pas aller trop devant, |
| And don't stay behind, either; | Il ne faut pas rester à l’arrière : |
| There's fire in front and on back, | Le feu devant, le feu derrière, |
| Stay always in the middle. | Tu dois rester au mitan. |
| | |
| Only the man in the middle | Seul celui qui est au milieu sait |
| Can get out and run away. | Courir et sauter |
| It's only him, one fine day, | Et chez lui, seul celui-là |
| Who will come back home. | Un beau jour reviendra. |
