Comme un soldat [English translation]

What I hear every step

it's the whistling of the bullets brushing past me

And I feel, in this combat

the weight of your absence on my shoulders

And I've prayed the sky to take care of you

I'll finish what I've started and will not give up

Refrain:

Tonight I feel alone on my battlefield

People riddled with holes, I'm feeling gloomy

However if I cry I'll have to leave

I don't have the right to show my flaws

So, grandfather, I'm moving forward proud, strong and brave

like a soldier

Granddad, I'm moving forward proud, strong and brave

just like you

Granddad, I'm moving forward proud, strong and brave

like a soldier

Granddad, I'm moving forward proud, strong and brave

just like you

Into the dust, I've fallen

My enemies thought to see me quit

A knee on the ground, I recharged

my feathers and I'm ready to get up

While looking at the sky, I pray that you see me

I'll finish what I've started without ever giving up

Refrain:

Tonight I feel alone on my battlefield

People riddled with holes, I'm feeling gloomy

However if I cry I'll have to leave

I don't have the right to show my flaws

So, grandfather, I'm moving forward proud, strong and brave

like a soldier

Granddad, I'm moving forward proud, strong and brave

just like you

Granddad, I'm moving forward proud, strong and brave

like a soldier

Granddad, I'm moving forward proud, strong and brave

just like you
