Légionnaire [English translation]

I'm rude. To hell with manners

Me, I have the manners of the legionnaires,

of those who set off at dawn.

No, I don't cry over girls anymore.

I like it when meat is raw at family dinners

Me, I always bring my whisky along

in the whore clubs for the middle class

Me, I love the feasts that taste like you

and the street fights when the people is dead

You, you saw my face at the bottom of the loins

the face that screams rage with clenched fists,

my bottle in my hand, my whisky bottle

In my eyes, the sobs

You can always look for

love stories, their graves.

You can always dig,

I'm not one to end up six feet under

For a lump of meat tasing like hell

put inside books and at the bottom of rivers

and our boats floating there and capsizing.

Look at them sink, drenched in blood

reflected in the eyes of those who liked

their idiotic mouths too much1

Me, I sing for the glory of the speech-less

the ones who bear first names on their shoulders.

I am a brother of sailor, a son of the flesh.

Me, I like it when there are cries, when there is suffering

Me, I like it when you go down the chasm,

to the end of hell and feel the violence of wars.

Yes I do.

In my eyes, the sobs

You can always look for

love stories, their graves.

You can always die,

I'm not one to chase after God

Come on, pour2 me another one, to singe myself

The brandy3 will put into my heart the flame

of those who talk but do no tell.

They can all die, for all I care4

They can always bloat themselves with bad wine.

The looks in their eyes are so poor there.

Indeed.

Looming from the plain, a ship will come,

to bring me away from the harsh love stories.

The legionnaire set off at down.

Then, with the girls who partied too much,

I will be listed as missing after a storm,

shipwrecked by my whisky

Sobs in my glass,

the legionnaires' love stories flow

indeed.

All over the lands

girls are mad about legionnaires

indeed

In embracing arms,

love is sure murderous

indeed

Sobs in my glass

Crazy legionnaires love stories

indeed

May I burn in hell

May our love be murderous

Come on

Come on, pour me another one, to singe myself

The brandy will put the flame into my heart.

They can all die, for all I care

They can always bloat themselves with bad wine.

Looming from the plain, a ship will come,

to bring me away from the harsh love stories.

The legionnaire set off at down.

The legionnaire set off at down.

Then, with the girls who partied too much,

I will be listed as missing after a storm,

shipwrecked in my whisky (x5)

1. I assume this whole paragraph is automatic writing, but frankly it rather sounds like gibberish to me2. assuming "ressers"3. Calvados, a most famous apple brandy named after its region of production4. or more precisely, "this does not mean much to me" or "I'm not very interested in that"
