The
year
was
1900,
'tis
worth
remembering
C'était
en
1900,
ça
vaut
la
peine
de
s'en
souvenir
The
men
who
lived
through
55
days
at
Peking
Les
hommes
qui
ont
vécu
55
jours
à
Pékin
T'was
called
the
Boxers
Insurrection
of
bloody
oriental
war
C'était
appelé
l'Insurrection
des
Boxers,
une
guerre
orientale
sanglante
Against
all
nations
of
the
diplomatic
core
Contre
toutes
les
nations
du
noyau
diplomatique
The
flags
of
France
and
Britain
Les
drapeaux
de
la
France
et
de
la
Grande-Bretagne
How
they
fluttered
in
the
breeze
Comme
ils
flottaient
dans
la
brise
The
Italian
and
the
Russian
and
the
flag
of
the
Japanese
L'italien
et
le
russe
et
le
drapeau
des
Japonais
Then
came
the
sound
of
bugles
Puis
vint
le
son
des
clairons
And
the
rolling
drums
doom
Et
les
tambours
qui
annonçaient
le
destin
And
the
streets
of
Peking
were
as
empty
as
a
tomb
Et
les
rues
de
Pékin
étaient
aussi
vides
qu'un
tombeau

The
Empress
of
all
China
gave
the
signal
to
begin
L'impératrice
de
toute
la
Chine
donna
le
signal
du
début
And
let
the
foreign
devils
be
driven
from
Peking
Et
que
les
diables
étrangers
soient
chassés
de
Pékin
They
stormed
the
French
Legation
Ils
ont
pris
d'assaut
la
légation
française
They
attacked
with
shot
and
shell
Ils
ont
attaqué
à
coups
de
canon
et
de
mitraille
And
they
came
in
blood
red
blouses
Et
ils
sont
venus
en
chemises
rouge
sang
Screaming
shashow
as
they
fell
Criant
"shashow"
en
tombant
The
drums
have
long
been
muffled
Les
tambours
ont
longtemps
été
étouffés
The
bugles
cease
to
ring
Les
clairons
cessent
de
sonner
But
through
the
ages,
you
can
hear
them
echoing
Mais
à
travers
les
âges,
on
peut
les
entendre
résonner
Boom-boom,
