Tu avais juste dix-huit ans
You were just eighteen
Quand on t'a mis un béret rouge
When we put a red beret on you
Quand on t'a dit: Rentre dedans
When we told you: Get in
Tout ce qui bouge
Everything that moves
C'est pas exprès que t'étais fasciste
It's not on purpose that you were a fascist
Parachutiste
Skydiver
Alors, de combat en combat
So, from fight to fight
S'est formée ton intelligence
Your intelligence was formed
Tu sais qu'il n'y a ici-bas
You know there is nothing down here
Que deux engeances
Only two spawns
Les gens bien et les terroristes
Good people and terrorists
Parachutiste
Skydiver
Puis on t'a donné des galons
Then we gave you stripes
Héros de toutes les défaites
Hero of all defeats
Pour toutes les bonnes actions
For all good deeds
Que tu as faites
What you did
Tu torturais en spécialiste
You tortured as a specialist
Parachutiste
Skydiver
Alors sont venus les honneurs
Then came the honors
Les décorations, les médailles
Decorations, medals
Pour chaque balle au fond d'un cœur
For every bullet inside a heart
Pour chaque entaille
For every notch
Pour chaque croix noire sur ta liste
For every black cross on your list
Parachutiste
Skydiver
Mais, malheureusement pour toi
But, unfortunately for you
Bientôt se finira ta guerre
Soon your war will end
Plus de tueries, plus de combats
No more killings, no more fighting
Que vas-tu faire?
What will you do?
C'est fini le travail d'artiste
The artist's work is over
Parachutiste
Skydiver
C'est plus qu'un travail de nana
It's more than a girl's job
D' commander à ceux qui savent lire
To command those who know how to read
Surtout que t'as appris avec moi
Especially since you learned with me
Ce que veut dire
What it means
Le motantimilitariste
The antimilitarist motto
Parachutiste
Skydiver
T' as rien perdu de ton talent
You haven't lost any of your talent
Tu rates pas une embuscade
You don't miss an ambush
Mais comme on ne tire pas vraiment
But since we don't really shoot
Tu trouves ça fade
You find it bland
C'est pt'êt pour ça que tu as les yeux tristes
That's probably why your eyes are sad
Parachutiste
Skydiver
Mais si tu es vraiment trop gené
But if you're really too embarrassed
D'être payé à ne rien faire
To be paid to do nothing
Tu peux toujours te recycler
You can always recycle yourself
Chez tes p'tits frères
At your little brothers
Je crois qu'on engage dans la Police
I think we're joining the police
Parachutiste
Skydiver
