Les creus vermelles [English translation]
The red crosses
Travel across the horror
Of the corpses, the wounded bodies,
Faces filled with fear
Littered down the road...
Such a great battle! What a fight! So much courage!
So many medals
Have been placed on the winner's chest!
It only took 30,000 dead
In the field of honour,
Who will never see the sun rise again!
The red crosses
Have now dragged away the last corpse...
Now, the ones who must work
Are the flies and dust
To erase all the memories!
The memories of men
Who thought they were the best
And that, in war, they would escape death,
Just like other dreamers
That, left in the field of honour,
Shall never see the sun rise again!
Such a feast
For the crows, who fly about
Over the remains
Of that group of soldiers
Who just dreamed...!
