Oh Marie, if you knew
All the pain they caused me
Oh Marie, if I could have rested
In your bare arms
My innocence has vanished
You were my last chance
Little by little you faded
In spite of my desperate efforts
And nothing will ever be the same
I saw more horrors than marvels
Men were crazy to unite
I would give everything to forget
Oh Marie, if you knew
All the pain they caused me
Oh Marie, if I could have rested
In your bare arms
And I run all day
Not knowing where I go
In the noise in the smoke
I see shadows kill one another
Tomorrow will be the great day
It will be necessary to show proof of bravery
To be at the front in the first row
Oh Marie, I beg you, show me a sign
Lying in the grass, I wake
I saw death in its simplest trappings
It promised me a holiday
Yes death promised me the last dance
Oh Marie, if you knew
All the pain they caused me
Oh Marie, I will wait
Till, in heaven, you come
To find me
Oh Marie , I will wait
Till, in heaven, you come
To find me
