Bitoumb Lyrics in English Tayc

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bitoumb by Tayc from French to English.
Un soldat à terre
A soldier down
La mort ne prévient pas quand elle foudroie, hey
Death doesn't warn when it strikes, hey
Et dans mes prières, non
And in my prayers, no
J'ai supplié Dieu de me dire pourquoi
I begged God to tell me why
Je suis un soldat, je n'peux pas autant pleurer
I'm a soldier, I can't cry that much
Je laisse ça à ta mère, Bitoumbo
I'll leave that to your mom, Bitoumbo
En vingt-huit années tu ne m'as jamais laissé
In twenty-eight years you never left me
De toi, j'suis tellement fier, Bitoumbo
I'm so proud of you, Bitoumbo
Yeah, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Yeah, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Je suis un soldat, je n'peux pas autant pleurer
I'm a soldier, I can't cry that much
Je laisse ça à ta mère, Bitoumbo
I'll leave that to your mom, Bitoumbo
En vingt-huit années tu ne m'as jamais laissé
In twenty-eight years you never left me
De toi, j'suis tellement fier, Bitoumbo
I'm so proud of you, Bitoumbo
Personne ne m'a préparé
nobody prepared me
Ce combat là, je peux pas, nan
That fight, I can't, nah
Tu devais me protéger
You were supposed to protect me
De nous deux, c'était toi l'ainé
Of the two of us, you were the oldest
Personne ne m'a préparé
nobody prepared me
Cri que ça là je peux pas non
Screaming that, I just can't, no
Ouh, tu devais me protéger
Ooh, you were supposed to protect me
De nous deux, c'était toi l'ainé
Of the two of us, you were the oldest
Oui, me frère me manque
yeah, I miss my brother
Oui, laissez-moi lui parler
Yeah, let me talk to him
Fossoyeur a grandi chez le tombeau
Gravedigger grew up by the tomb
Avec lui, je veux rester, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
I wanna stay with him, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo, Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo
Bitoumbo

La guerre revêt une importance cruciale pour l'Etat
War holds crucial importance for the State
Elle constitue un domaine où se joue la vie et la mort
It's a field where life and death are at play
Car le sort de l'empire en dépend
Because the fate of the empire depends on it
Il est impératif de bien le régler
It's vital to handle it well
Ne pas faire de sérieuse réflexion sur ce qui le concerne
Failing to think seriously about it
Équivaut à manifester une coupable indifférence pour la conservation
equals showing a guilty indifference toward preserving
Ou pour la perte de ce qu'on a de plus cher
or losing what we hold dearest
Les grands artistes lorsqu'ils entreprennent quelques chef d'œuvres
Great artists, when they take on some masterpieces
Gardent toujours à l'esprit leurs objectifs
always keep their goals in mind
Tirent parti de tout ce qu'ils voient et entendent
make use of everything they see and hear
Ne négligent rien pour acquérir de nouvelles connaissances
neglect nothing to gain new knowledge
Et tous les soutiens susceptibles de les guider heureusement à leur fin
and every support likely to lead them happily to their end
