| Men whose names are great, I am writing you a letter |
| That you will read perhaps If you have the time |
| Men whose names are great, I don’t want to do that |
| I am not on Earth To kill miserable Mankind… |
| Messieurs qu’on nomme grands, Je vous fais une lettre |
| Que vous lirez peut-être Si vous avez le temps |
| Je viens de recevoir Mes papiers militaires |
| Pour aller à la guerre Avant Mercredi soir |
| Messieurs qu’on nomme grands Je ne veux pas la faire |
| Je ne suis pas sur terre Pour tuer les pauvres gens |
| Il n’faut pas vous fâcher Mais Il faut que je vous dise |
| Les guerres sont des bêtises Le monde en a assez |
| Depuis que je suis né J’ai vu mourir des frères |
| J’ai vu partir des pères Et des enfants pleurer |
| Les mères ont trop souffert Quand d’autres se gobergent |
| Et vivant à leur aise Malgré la boue de sang |
| Il y’a les prisoniers On a volé leurs âmes |
| On a volé leurs femmes Et tout le cher passé |
| Demain de bon matin Je fermerai la porte |
| Au nez des années mortes J’irai par les chemins |
| Je mendierai ma vie Sur la terre et sur l’onde |
| Du vieux au nouveau monde Et je dirai aux gens |
| Profitez de la vie Eloignez la misère |
| Les hommes sont tous des frères Gens de tous les pays |
| S’il faut verser le sang Allez verser le vôtre |
| Messieurs les bons apôtres Messieurs qu’on nomme grands |
| Si vous me poursuivez Prévenez vos gendarmes |
| Que je serai sans armes Et qu’ils pourront tirer |
| Et qu’ils pourront tirer |
| (translation) |
| Men whose names are great, I am writing you a letter |
| That you will read perhaps If you have the time |
| Men whose names are great, I don't want to do that |
| I am not on Earth To kill miserable Mankind… |
| Gentlemen who are called great, I am writing you a letter |
| Which you might read if you have time |
| I just got my military papers |
| To go to war before Wednesday night |
| Gentlemen who are called great I don't want to do it |
| I'm not on earth to kill poor people |
| Don't get mad but I have to tell you |
| Wars are nonsense The world has had enough |
| Ever since I was born I've seen brothers die |
| I've seen fathers leave and children cry |
| Mothers have suffered too much When others suck |
| And living at their ease Despite the mud of blood |
| There are prisoners, their souls have been stolen |
| We stole their wives and all the dear past |
| Tomorrow morning I'll close the door |
| In the face of the dead years I will go by the roads |
| I'll beg for my life On land and on the wave |
| From old to new world and I'll tell people |
| Enjoy life Drive away misery |
| Men are all brothers People of all countries |
| If blood must be shed Go shed yours |
| Gentlemen the good apostles Gentlemen who are called great |
| If you're chasing me tell your cops |
| That I'll be unarmed And they can shoot |
| And they can shoot |
