Des tambours et des hommes
La Ruda Salska Lyrics

Pour tuer le temps "Excellences!"
To pass the time, esteemed individuals, let us arm ourselves with patience.

Armez-vous mais de patience!
Arm yourselves, but with patience!

Les hommes sont comme des tambours! Tout est affaire de "roulement"!
Men are like drums, everything depends on the way they are played! Dogmas and long speeches are used depending on the current climate. After all, how can one ignore such good instruments that give so much when the rewards only go to the devoted?! And turn after turn, the brave ones unleash themselves with hearts pounding! They run, and under the gunfire, they die fighting! Sometimes, the paths of the 'Motherland' lead to the 'Père Lachaise cemetery'. Shouldn't we sort out the facts and the thesis?

D´ailleurs comment être sourd à de si bons instruments qui donnent autant Quand les leurres en retour ne prêtent qu´au dévouement?! Et tour à tour, les braves se déchaînent et le coeur battant! Ils courent et sous les salves a la chaîne, ils meurent combattant!
In fact, how can we be deaf to such excellent instruments that are so giving when the rewards only go to the devoted?! One after another, the brave ones unleash themselves with hearts pounding! They run, and under the chain of firing, they die fighting!

Les dogmes et les longs discours en jouent selon l´air du temps
Dogmas and long speeches are played depending on the current climate.

Et que les mages le prennent "à deux mains"! Eux qui ne font que montrer le chemin
And may the magicians take it 'with both hands'! For they only show the way.

"Courage fuyons"!Le message n´engage à rien! Comprenez bien! Jene monte à la charge qu´au front qui est mien Ô rage! Désespoir! D´être otage de ces tragédiens Concitoyens! Parfois l´adage qui convient est "qui n´fait rien n´a rien"!
'Let's flee courage'! The message does not commit to anything! Understand clearly! I only go to battle where I am the front. Oh, anger! Despair! To be a hostage of these tragic fellow citizens! Sometimes the appropriate saying is 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'!

Les hommes au service d´une idée sont-ils au sevice des hommes? N´y a-t-il pas risque que la précitée soit non fertile?
Are men in the service of an idea in the service of other men? Is there not a risk that this idea will not bear fruit?

En somme, doit-on se précipité au clairon qui sonne pour des raisons Qui ne sont déstinées qu´aux floraisons d´automne?
In short, should we rush to the trumpet that sounds for reasons that are only destined for the autumn blooms?

Quand l´histoire se dédit Allons! On ressort les longs discours "Gloire aux morts à credit!". Résonne le son des tambours qui mènent encore "à la baguette"à l´oraison Des remords celui qui fit don de son être croyant peut-être Qu´il changerait le plomb en or!
When history denies itself, let's go back to long speeches! 'Glory to the dead at credit!'. The sound of the drums resonates again, leading the prayer. The one who gave himself, perhaps believing that he could turn lead into gold, will have remorse.

Et que les mages soient cobayes humains! Eux qui n´ont jamais de sang sur les mains
And may the magicians be human guinea pigs! For they never have blood on their hands.
