Un dimanche en défilant à la parade

Je t'ai vu soudain là-bas sur une estrade

Tu étais visiblement monté en grade

Les plus grands venaient te donner l'accolade
The older ones came to give you the hug
Ce n'était que mains serrées et embrassades
It was only tight hands and hugs
Ça donnait une impression de mascarade

Moi ici j'ai pris mon parti des brimades
Me here I took my side of the bullying
Nous dormons tout habillés, les nuits sont froides
We sleep fully dressed, the nights are cold
L'important c'est de ne pas tomber malade
The important thing is not to get sick
Mon camarade
My comrade
Camarade
Comrade
Je ne vois qu'un petit coin de ciel maussade
I only see a small corner of gloomy sky
Et les murs qui défieraient toute escalade
And the walls that would challenge all climbing
Ce n'est pas une prison d'où l'on s'évade
It is not a prison from which we escape
Mon camarade
My comrade

Comrade
Le matin c'est la relève des brigades
In the morning is the succession of brigades
A midi c'est l'heure de la promenade
At noon it's time for walking
Et la nuit on fait des rêves d'escapade
And at night we have dreams of getaway
Mon camarade
My comrade

Comrade
J'ai appris qu'ils t'ont donné une ambassade
I learned that they gave you an embassy
Quelque part à Caracas ou à Belgrade

Plus tu montes plus, tu vois, je rétrograde
The more you go up the more, you see, I retrograde
Mon camarade
My comrade

Comrade
C'est fini j'arrête ici mes jérémiades
It's over I stop my jérémiades here
À bientôt qui sait dans une ou deux décades
See you soon who knows in one or two decades
Et je signe comme au temps de nos gambades
And I sign as in the time of our gambades
Ton Camarade
Your comrade
Tu étais mon seul ami, mon camarade
You were my only friend, my comrade
Tous les deux nous avons fait les barricades
Both we did the barricades
Les maquis, les commandos, les embuscades
Maquis, commandos, ambushes
Mon camarade
