Les Ricains [The Ame-ricans]

Si les Ricains n'étaient pas là
Vous seriez tous en Germanie
A parler de je ne sais quoi,
A saluer je ne sais qui.

[If the Ricains were not here
You'd all be in Germania
Speaking of nothing worth saying
Saluting I'd rather not say whom.]

Bien sûr les années ont passé.
Les fusils ont changé de mains.
Est-ce une raison pour oublier
Qu'un jour on en a eu besoin ?

[Of course, the years have passed.
(and)The guns have changed hands.
(but),Is this a reason to forget
that one day we needed them?]

Un gars venu de Géorgie
Qui se foutait pas mal de toi
Est v'nu mourir en Normandie,
Un matin où tu n'y étais pas.

[A boy came from Georgia
Who could care less about you
Died in Normandy,
One morning where you were not there.]

Bien sûr les années ont passé.
On est devenus des copains.
A l'amicale du fusillé,
On dit qu'ils sont tombés pour rien.

[Of course, the years have past.
(And) We hve become friends.
As for the fraternity of those who were shot,
One would say they fell for nothing.]

Si les Ricains n'étaient pas là
Vous seriez tous en Germanie
A parler de je ne sais quoi,
A saluer je ne sais qui.

[If the Ricains were not here
You'd all be in Germania
Speaking of nothing worth saying
Saluting I'd rather not say whom.]
