| Tonight, tonight we’re playing in the cellars
|
| Drinking, dancing
|
| It’s the truce, and there’s nothing like this present time
|
| Here in the corner a busy mam' is
|
| Crafting flowers with old blue paper
|
| There’s nothing else, letters in pieces
|
| Only the making matters to her
|
| She wants sprays for he heroes
|
| Cause they deserve an oration
|
| And it’s the only way she knows
|
| To express her emotions is better
|
| Alors elle tisse, elle tisse, elle tisse
|
| Avev des restes bleus
|
| Alors elle tisse suplice, retisse
|
| Des guirlandes myosotis
|
| Et elle pleure, pleure, pleure
|
| Pendant qu’ils dansent
|
| Et elle pleure, malheur du coeur
|
| Et tissant des guirlandes de fleurs
|
| She would have given a wonderful bunch
|
| To everyone, child prodigies
|
| Beloved spouses, soldiers full of punch
|
| Left for a long time, in unknown colonies
|
| She wants sprays for her heroes
|
| Cause all of her boys are missing
|
| She doesn’t even have a rose
|
| For their gruesome burying
|
| She is working in silence
|
| The others guys dance
|
| Her kids will never have this chance
|
| She won’t listen to her brain |
| Cause there’s no place for the pain
|
| She is weaving, this garland is her chain
|
| Her very last chain with her sons fallen in vain |
