Corps D'autos-Canons-Mitrailleuses (a.c.m) |
| Life as a gift, our life as a present from King Albert to Tsar Nikolai |
| Now the ship is sailing to the shore of Archangel |
| We move down to the Peterhof, Russia meets us with the solemn march |
| And soon we moved on to the Zbarazh, Ozerna and Tarnopol |
| We entered the war in Galizia |
| Hold the line, Minerva will cover us |
| The Hotchkiss machine gun poured lead in all directions |
| Send our messages to all boches — We will avenge for the Belgium! |
| 16 of us were killed in action |
| 16 of us in this Galizian sludge |
| They called home |
| After two years we’ve left this squalid place |
| We moved to Kyiv, but the bolsheviks banished us and we destroyed our cars |
| To prevent their capture and chose the highest way back home |
| Along the trans-Siberian railway to China and Vladivostok |
| On the ship «Sheridan» we sailed to the United States |
| In San Francisco they treated us like heroes |
| From Sacramento to Salt Lake City, Chicago, Detroit and New York |
| Finally we’re returning to France just months before the War was ended |
| Hello again, our lovely Belgium. |
| Wederom hallo, ous mooie België |
