My American Army Boy
He had large eyes, very clear Somewhat like lightning in the sky during a thunderstorm He was covered in tattoos that I never really understood His neck said "Not seen, not caught" Above his heart was "nobody" And on his right arm, one word: "reason" I don't know his name, I don't know anything about him Yet he loved me all night long, my American army boy! And leaving me to my fate, he was gone by the morning, full of light! He was thin, he was handsome, he smelled like the hot sand my American army boy! It was the sun on his forehead that made his hair shine blonde in the light Happiness lost, happiness fled I often think of that night and his craving to bite at my skin Sometimes I cry and I think when I felt such emotion, I would've screamed in happiness But I didn't dare tell him my feelings I was afraid to see him smile! I don't know his name, I don't know anything about him Yet he loved me all night long, my American army boy! And leaving me to my fate, he was gone by the morning, full of light! He was thin, he was handsome, he smelled like the hot sand my American army boy! It was the sun on his forehead that made his hair shine blonde in the light They were found in the desert, his beautiful eyes were open In the sky above, clouds passed by He showed his tattoos, smiling revealing his neck and saying "Not seen, not caught" Showing his heart: "here, nobody" He doesn't know it....but I forgive him Still, I dreamed that fate would give me back a beautiful morning with my American army boy, That we'd be alone together in some wonderful country that's full of light! He was thin, he was handsome, he smelled like the hot sand my American army boy! It was the sun on his forehead that made his hair shine blonde in the light
Mon légionnaire
MON LÉGIONNAIRE Paroles: R. Asso, musique: M. Monnot, 1936 Il avait de grands yeux très clairs Où parfois passaient des éclairs Comme au ciel passent des orages. Il était plein de tatouages Que j'ai jamais très bien compris, Son cou portait: "pas vu, pas pris" Sur son coeur on lisait: "personne" Sur son bras droit un mot: "raisonne". Je sais pas son nom, je ne sais rien de lui Il m'a aimée toute la nuit Mon légionnaire! Et me laissant à mon destin Il est parti dans le matin Plein de lumière! Il était mince il était beau, Il sentait bon le sable chaud Mon légionnaire! Y'avait du soleil sur son front Qui mettait dans ses cheveux blonds De la lumière! Bonheur perdu, bonheur enfui, Toujours je pense à cette nuit, Et l'envie de sa peau me ronge. Parfois je pleure et puis je songe Que lorsqu'il était sur mon coeur, J'aurais dû crier mon bonheur... Mais je n'ai rien osé lui dire. J'avais peur de le voir sourire! On l'a trouvé dans le désert, Il avait ses beaux yeux ouverts, Dans le ciel passaient des nuages. Il a montré ses tatouages En souriant et il a dit, Montrant son cou: "pas vu, pas pris" Montrant son coeur: "ici personne" Il ne savait pas... Je lui pardonne. Je rêvais pourtant que le destin Me ramènerait un beau matin Mon légionnaire! Qu'on s'en irait loin tous les deux Dans quelque pays merveilleux Plein de lumière! Il était mince il était beau, On l'a mis sous le sable chaud Mon légionnaire! Y'avait du soleil sur son front Qui mettait dans ses cheveux blonds De la lumière!
