Légion Étrangère - Le boudin (2nd version)

[KtBdOKW]

Vive la france !

[minelab34]

that was my familly .

[TMDF100]

Here you are, some blood pudding, some blood pudding, some blood pudding For the Alsatians, the Swiss, and the Lorrains, For the Belgians, there's none left, For the Belgians, there's none left, They're lazy shirkers (repeat) Tiens, voilà du boudin, voilà du boudin, voilà du boudin Pour les Alsaciens, les Suisses et les Lorrains, pour les Belges y en a plus, pour les Belges y en a plus, ce sont des tireurs au cul.

[Estwaldvaati]

god bless the legion and all that serves, don't under stand french but this has made me want to learn french cos of the legion marching songs

[pkspence]

@aidenant2006

Indeed, it's the singing that binds the Legionaires together as a unit. Legio Patria Nostra!

[Killeur2703]

C'est bizare qu'il y est autant d'anglais ici !? pourtan se sont les premier a traiter nos armée -_-' enfin bref c'est un chant que j'apprécie en tant que Lorrain =D

[SuperPindos]

@Killeur2703 What is bizarre is that there are so many English in the Legion and so few "les Lorrains". Must have somethingdo with the general French culture. 

[973Marcelino]

Légio Patria Nostra.

[halkunner]

Our ancestors died

For the glory of the Legion.

We will all perish

Following the tradition.

During our far-off campaigns,

Facing cold and fire,

Forgetting with our pain,

The death, which forgets us so little.

We the Legion.

[halkunner]

Actually, the song's reference to "boudin" has no connection to gourmet kitchen. It's a reference to a red blanket that contained gear, placed on top of all their backpacks.

Also, the reference to Belgians is due to a law given by their king, forbidding all his subjects from joining the Legion.

[TheBlackTinox]

Great Song !

[JORNETJAGGER]

Don't understand a word, but its mystic in its power. Great song.

[FranceElsass]

@Hassar100 Here is a translation, so you can understand what they say.

[FranceElsass]

@Hassar100 Here you are, some blood pudding, some blood pudding, some blood pudding For the Alsatians, the Swiss, and the Lorrains, For the Belgians, there's none left, For the Belgians, there's none left, They're lazy shirkers (repeat)

[FranceElsass]

@Hassar100

1st sonnet

We're at ease,

We're rough-and-tough

No ordinary guys,

We've often got our black moods,

We are Legionnaires

[FranceElsass]

@Hassar100

1st couplet

In Tonkin, the Immortal Legion

At Tuyen Quang we honoured our flag,

The heroes of Camerone and model brothers

Sleep in peace in your tombs

[FranceElsass]

@Hassar100

2nd sonnet

Our ancestors died

For the glory of the Legion.

We will all perish

During our far-off campaigns,

Facing fever and fire,

Forgetting with our sadnesses,

Death, which forgets us so little.

We the Legion.
