lyrics

Quand eram jonchs, quand eram vius
Sèras sens fin, jorns longs d´ostiu
Puèi nos vestiren soldats
Per nos mandar al fang

Alais, espèram aciu doncs lèu tornarai
Ieu e mes amics avem pas de por d´alemans e de ren
En lo Somme

Sòl que´s desfar, jus nos esclòps
Pluèja d´acer, sus nòstre cos
Sònque sòmii d´estre en tas mans
Jamais vòli despertar

Somme, nos an enviat a ser tuats a l´enfèr
Perquè non tornèt? Amb totas las causas q´aviam de fer
I a cèu?
T´espèri lèu, en lo cèu, dins lo cèu

--ENGLISH TRANSLATION--

When we were together, when we were alive
Endless evenings, long summer days
Then they dressed us up as soldiers
To send us out to the mud

Alais, wait here for me `cause I´ll be back soon
Me and my friends we ain´t afraid of the Germans nor anything
In the Somme

A soil that melts, under our shoes
Rain of steel, over our body
I only dream of being between your arms
I never ever want to wake up

Somme, they shipped us to hell to be killed
Why didn´t I come back? We had so many things left to do
Is there a heaven?
I wait for you, in heaven, into the sky
