It was down by the Atlantic Sea Where the concrete bunkers lay And the rusty eighty-eights Look down where the seagulls play I heard the ghost bugles reveille For the young men who sailed away For the young men who had to stay On the beach where the barded-wire lay See the memory of Billy and John Proudly standing in their uniforms See the silver medals they won That the government sent to their Mom Now some boy painted j'taime Annette On the walls where the shells were kept In the corridors young children run And shout out the barrels of the guns
La guerre c'est fini pour moi La guerre ne m'amuse pas La guerre c'est fini pour les espirts des morts La guerre c'est fini pour moi If you want another war for peace Just to k** other men to make them free I feel that I must inform you You won't get any help from me There is plenty of suffering and dying Tragedy wins over joy I'd rather run 'round the rust guns Than to die like a brave soldier boy La guerre c'est fini pour moi La guerre ne m'amuse pas La guerre c'est fini pour les espirts des morts La guerre c'est fini pour moi
