He had big, very clear eyes
Where sometimes flashes passed
Like storms pass in the sky
He had a lot of tattoos

That I never really understood
His neck bore, "not seen, not caught"
On his heart one could read, "nobody"
On his right arm a word, "reason"

I don't know his name, I know nothing about him
He loved me all night
My legionnaire
And leaving me to my fate

He left in the morning
Full of light!
He was thin, he was beautiful
He smelled good like warm sand

My legionnaire!
There was sun on his forehead
Which put in his blond hair
Light!

Lost happiness, happiness gone
I always think about that night
And the desire for his skin gnaws at me
Sometimes I cry and then I dream

That when he was on his heart
I should have shouted my happiness
But I didn't dare say anything to him
I was afraid to see him smile!

I don't know his name, I know nothing about him
He loved me all night
My legionnaire
And leaving me to my fate

He left in the morning
Full of light!
He was thin, he was beautiful
He smelled good like warm sand
My legionnaire

There was sun on his forehead
Which put in his blond hair
Light

They found him in the desert
He had his beautiful eyes open
Clouds were passing in the sky
He showed his tattoos

Smiling then he said
Showing his neck, "not seen, not caught"
Showing his heart, "nobody here"
He didn't know, I forgive him

I was dreaming that fate
Would bring me back one beautiful morning
My legionnaire

That we would go far away, both of us
To some wonderful country
Full of light

He was thin, he was beautiful
They put him under the warm sand
My legionnaire

There was sun on his forehead
Which put in his blond hair
Light
