Lyrics and translation Erasure - The Soldier's Return - Live at The Apollo, Manchester, 1992
Slow
the
years
go
by
Le
temps
passe
lentement
They
stole
your
man
off
to
war
Ils
ont
emmené
ton
homme
à
la
guerre
Will
you
see
the
child
Verras-tu
l'enfant
As
you
sing
battle
songs?
Alors
que
tu
chantes
des
chants
de
bataille
?
And
it
pains
me
Et
cela
me
fait
mal
To
think
of
the
soldier′s
plight
De
penser
au
sort
du
soldat
I
will
pray
Je
prierai
For
your
God
to
guide
you
home
Pour
que
ton
Dieu
te
guide
à
la
maison
And
she
cries
for
the
soldier's
return
Et
elle
pleure
pour
le
retour
du
soldat
Despair
of
feeling
alone
for
so
long
Le
désespoir
de
se
sentir
seule
pendant
si
longtemps
By
the
light
of
the
candle
that
burns
À
la
lumière
de
la
bougie
qui
brûle
For
his
life,
for
the
day
of
the
soldier′s
return
Pour
sa
vie,
pour
le
jour
du
retour
du
soldat
Hear
the
cannon
fire
Entends
le
canon
tirer
Lost
voices
echo
in
the
night
Des
voix
perdues
résonnent
dans
la
nuit
See
the
spoils
of
war
Vois
les
butins
de
guerre
Young
men
are
falling,
ooh
Des
jeunes
hommes
tombent,
ooh
Hear
the
drummer
marchin'
o'er
the
hill
Entends
le
tambour
frapper
au
sommet
de
la
colline
Love
returning
and
the
graves
of
the
battle
lie
still
L'amour
revient
et
les
tombes
de
la
bataille
restent
silencieuses
And
she
cries
for
the
soldier′s
return
Et
elle
pleure
pour
le
retour
du
soldat
