YOU YOUNG PEOPLE WHO MARCH INTO THE FIELD	JEUNES GENS QUI MARCHAIENT À LA GUERRE
You young people who march into the field,	Jeunes gens qui marchaient à la guerre,
Give attention to my dearest.	Faites attention à mon très cher.
Take care that he holds himself bravely under fire;	Veillez à ce qu'il se tienne bravement au feu ;
He has never been in war in all his life.	Il n'a jamais été à la guerre de toute sa vie.
Never let him sleep under the sky;	Ne le laissez jamais dormir à la belle étoile ;
He is so delicate, it might harm him.	Il est si délicat, il pourrait prendre mal.
For me, do not let him sleep under the moon;	Pour moi, ne le laissez pas dormir sous la lune ;
He might perish - he is really not used to it.	Il pourrait mourir, il n'est pas habitué à cela.
