Pourquoi cette fanfare. Quand les soldats par quatre. Attendent les massacres. Sur le quai d'une gare. Pourquoi ce train ventru. Qui ronronne et soupire.
Why all these bugles cry. These squads of young men drill. To kill and to be killed. Stood waiting by the train. . Why the orders loud and hoarse. Why the engine's groaning cough.
Why all these bugles crying for squads of young men drilled. To kill and to be killed and waiting by this train?. Why the orders loud and hoarse, why the engine's groaning cough.
