Berurier Noir
Macadam Massacre
Brothers in Arms
You know what that reminds me of Lieutenant?
The Battle of Pigstown, hot affair
8 days of floundering in the blood of comrades...
More than 300 deaths in my regiment alone
My best friend, Captain Bluebitt
Had both his eyes gouged out by a bullet
My deputy, Sergeant Malbaret
Agonized for 3 days at my side
Both legs cut off cleanly by a shell fragment
Memories, memories...
Our colonel had his stomach opened by a splinter
He ordered the charge with his guts in the air
His orderly carried them to him in a basin
From time to time, ah, ah...
He passed one of these soaps
What days...
Yours had a drive, an ardor ...
I remember one of your standard bearers
Impossible to tear his flag away from him
We blew off both of his hands with a saber
Well, the guy got caught in the pole with his teeth
Nothing can be done to make him let go
I can still see him with his teeth clenched on his flag,
Like a dog on a piece of wood
Even though we were shooting, get lost
The brave little guy...
You know what that reminds me of Lieutenant ?
Memories, memories... Memories, memories...
Brothers in arms!
