Le Soldat Mecontent (original)Le Soldat Mecontent (translation)
Dès le matin au point du jour, on entend ces maudits tambours From morning to daybreak, we hear those damn drums
Dès le matin au point du jour, on entend ces maudits tambours From morning to daybreak, we hear those damn drums
Ils nous appellent à ce noble exercice They call us to this noble exercise
Et toi, pauvre soldat, c’est ton plus grand supplice And you, poor soldier, it's your greatest torment
Les caporaux et les sergents vous font aligner sur deux rangs Corporals and Sergeants line you up in two rows
Les caporaux et les sergents vous font aligner sur deux rangs Corporals and Sergeants line you up in two rows
L’un dit «recule"et l’autre dit «avance» One says "back" and the other says "forward"
Et toi, pauvre soldat, faut prendre patience… And you, poor soldier, have to be patient...
Si l’argent du prêt est mangé, il ne faut pas s’en étonner If the loan money is eaten, no wonder
Si l’argent du prêt est mangé, il ne faut pas s’en étonner If the loan money is eaten, no wonder
Les caporaux s’en vont boire de la bière The corporals go out drinking beer
Et toi, pauvre soldat, va boire à la rivière And you, poor soldier, go drink from the river
La patience que nous perdrons si jamais en guerre nous allons The patience we'll lose if ever at war we go
La patience que nous perdrons si jamais en guerre nous allons The patience we'll lose if ever at war we go
Ah si jamais nous allions en campagne Ah if ever we went to the countryside
Les grands coups de fusils paieront les coups de canne Big gun shots will pay for cane shots
Qui a composé la chanson, c’est un tambour du bataillon Who composed the song, it's a battalion drummer
Qui a composé la chanson, c’est un tambour du bataillon Who composed the song, it's a battalion drummer
C'était un soir, en battant la retraite It was a night, beating the retreat
En pensant à sa mie que toujours il regrette…Thinking of his sweetheart whom he always regrets...
