Sur le champ de bataille S'6crivent des douleurs. On-couch' dessus la paille, Qa fait fr'mir le coeur. Mais plutot d'y etre esclave J'aim' mieux mourir un jour, Mourir sur le champ de bataille Qa fait fr'mir le coeur. Je reQois-t-une lettre De ma ch're maman. N'ayant ni plum', ni encre Pour pouvoir y r'pondre. Mais de 1' j'pris mon canif-e Le baigne dans mon sang; Et j'envoie-t-une lettre A ma ch're maman. Quand ell' regoit cett' lettre, Cette 'oritur' de sang, Ses yeux baignent de larmes. Son coeur s'en va mourant. Elle s'y jeta par terre, Appel' tous ses enfants; "Priez pour votre fr're Qui est mort au regiment". Elle s'y jeta par terre Appel' tous ses enfants; "Priez pour votre fr're Qui est mort au regiment". On the fields of battle Many a pain is felt: We sleep on straw. The thought makes the heart tremble Rather than be a slave to it I prefer dying any day. Dying for my country. Each person dies in turn. I received a letter From my dear mother. Not having any pen and ink To enable me to answer her, I took my knife And.bathed it in my blood; And so I,sent a letter To my dear mother. When she received my letter. This writing in blood. Her eyes filled with tears. Her heart left her dying. She threw herself on the ground Calls all her children; "Pray for your brother Who died on the battle-field." She threw herself on the ground Calls all her children: "Pray for your brother Who died on the battle-field."
