Où sont-ils, mes petits copains ? [English translation]

Where are they, all my friends

Who left one morning

To go to war?

Where are they, all of my little guys

Who sang "We will be back,

No need to worry."

The drums and the bugles

Accompanied their song

In the clear dawn.

Where are they, all my friends

Who left one morning

To go to war?

I knew little guys from Saint-Cloud.

I knew guys from Villette.

I knew guys from around everywhere.

Not one of them resisted authority.

They were from Ménimontant.

They were boys of twenty years.

All responded: "Present!"

And left singing...

I knew a little guy from Saint Cloud.

His cheerful eyes made my head spin.

He was tall and I liked him a lot.

When I knew him, it was a party for me.

Like the guys from Ménilmontant,

He responded: "Present!"

He was twenty years old too,

He left singing...

Where are they, my friends

Who left one morning

To go to war?

Where are they, all of my little guys

Who sang "We will be back,

No need to worry."

The drums and the bugles

Accompanied their song

In the clear dawn.

Where are they, all my friends

Who left one morning

To go to war?

I know that one day, the little guys from Saint-Cloud,

I know that one day, the guys from Villette,

I know that one day, the guys from around everywhere,

Will come back: then, it will be celebration day.

All the guys from Ménimontant

Will reclaim their youth.

They will all shout "Present" together

And come back singing.

Here they are my little friends

Who left one morning

To go to war.

Here they are, all the little guys

Who sang: "We will be back,

No need to worry."

One will hear the boys

Sing pretty songs.

All will be clear.

Here he is my little friend,

Who left one morning

To go to war.

Here he is! Here they are!
