| Ecoute, peuple de Paris: |
| Tu n’as pas la fièvre. |
| Ecoute ces pas qui marchent dans la nuit, |
| Qui s’approchent de ton rêve. |
| Tu vois des ombres qui forment une fresque gigantesque accrochée dans ton ciel. |
| Ecoute, peuple de Paris: |
| Regarde, peuple de Paris, ces ombres éternelles |
| Qui défilent en chantant sous ton ciel. |
| Nous les grognards, les grenadiers, |
| Sans grenades, sans fusils ni souliers, |
| Sans ennemis et sans armée, |
| On s’ennuie dans la nuit du passé. |
| Nous les grognards, les grenadiers, |
| Sans grenades, sans fusils, ni souliers, |
| Ce soir nous allons défiler |
| Au milieu de vos Champs-Elysées. |
| Wagram, Iéna, Eylau, Arcole, Marengo… Ca sonne bien. |
| Quelles jolies batailles. |
| Tout ce travail, |
| C'était pas pour rien |
| Puisque les noms de rues, |
| Les noms d’avenues |
| Où vous marchez, |
| C’est avec le sang |
| De nos vingt ans |
| Qu’on les a gravés. |
| Nous les grognards, les grenadiers, |
| Sans grenades, sans fusils ni souliers, |
| Sans ennemis et sans armée, |
| On s’ennuie dans la nuit du passé. |
| Nous les grognards, les grenadiers, |
| On est morts sur des champs étrangers. |
| On a visité la Russie |
| Mais jamais nous n’avons vu Paris. |
| On n’a pas eu le temps |
| D’avoir un printemps |
| Qui nous sourit. |
| Nos pauvres amours |
| Duraient un jour, |
| Au revoir et merci. |
| Roulez, roulez tambours. |
| Dans le petit jour |
| On s’en allait. |
| Au son du clairon |
| Et du canon, |
| Notre vie dansait. |
| Nous les grognards, les grenadiers, |
| On nous a oubliés, oubliés… |
| Depuis le temps de nos combats, |
| Il y a eu tant et tant de soldats |
| Mais, cette nuit, vous nous verrez |
| Sans grenades, sans fusils ni souliers, |
| Défiler au pas cadencé |
| Au milieu de vos Champs-Elysées |
| Sans grenades… |
| Sans fusils… |
| Ni souliers… |
| A Paris… |
| (translation) |
| Listen, people of Paris: |
| You don't have a fever. |
| Listen to those footsteps walking in the night, |
| Which come close to your dream. |
| You see shadows forming a gigantic mural hanging in your sky. |
| Listen, people of Paris: |
| Look, people of Paris, these eternal shadows |
| Who march singing under your sky. |
| We the grunts, the grenadiers, |
| Without grenades, without rifles or shoes, |
| Without enemies and without an army, |
| We are bored in the night of the past. |
| We the grunts, the grenadiers, |
| Without grenades, without guns, or shoes, |
| Tonight we will parade |
| In the middle of your Champs-Elysées. |
| Wagram, Jena, Eylau, Arcole, Marengo… Sounds good. |
| What lovely battles. |
| All this work, |
| It wasn't for nothing |
| Since street names, |
| Avenue names |
| where you walk, |
| It's with the blood |
| From our twenties |
| That they were engraved. |
| We the grunts, the grenadiers, |
| Without grenades, without rifles or shoes, |
| Without enemies and without an army, |
| We are bored in the night of the past. |
| We the grunts, the grenadiers, |
| We died on foreign fields. |
| We visited Russia |
| But we never saw Paris. |
| We didn't have time |
| To have a spring |
| Who smiles at us. |
| Our poor loves |
| Lasted a day, |
| Good bye and thank you. |
| Roll, roll drums. |
| In the dawn |
| We were leaving. |
| To the sound of the bugle |
| And cannon, |
| Our life was dancing. |
| We the grunts, the grenadiers, |
| We were forgotten, forgotten... |
| From the time of our battles, |
| There were so many soldiers |
| But tonight you'll see us |
| Without grenades, without rifles or shoes, |
| March in time |
| In the middle of your Champs-Elysées |
| Without pomegranates... |
| Without guns... |
| No shoes... |
| In Paris… |
