Mon légionnaire (2010 Digital Remastering Edition)

He had very light eyes
That flashed brightly at times
Like a thunderstorm sky.
He was covered in tattoos
That I never fully understood.
On his Neck: "Never seen, Never taken"
Over his heart it reads: "No one"
On his right arm, one word: "think"

I don't know his name; I know nothing about him.
He loved me through the night,
My Legionnaire,
And leaving me to my destiny,
He left in the morning
full of light!
He was slim; he was handsome.
He had the good smell of warm sand,
My Legionnaire!
He had the sun on his face
Which highlighted
His blond hair!

Happiness lost; happiness slipped away,
I think always of that night,
And desire for his skin gnaws at me.
Sometimes I cry and then I dream
That when he was close to my heart,
I should have shouted out my happiness ...
But I didn't dare tell him anything;
I was afraid to see him smile!

{Refrain}

They found him in the desert.
His beautiful eyes were open,
To the clouds passing in the sky.
He showed his tattoos
While smiling and he said
Showing his Neck: "Never seen, Never taken"
Showing his heart: "No one here."
He never knew ... I forgive him.

In spite of all that, I dreamed that destiny,
Would bring back, one beautiful morning,
My Legionnaire!
We'd go far away, we two
To some marvelous country
Full of light!
He was slim; he was handsome.
They buried him under the warm sand,
My Legionnaire!
He had the sun on his face
Which highlighted
His blond hair!
