Letter from the front
Here the battles are raging
Already more than a year passed away from you
I've lost count of the number of times
Where I've reread your letters, to find your support
It's in your smile that I draw the strength to fight
Never has a winter seemed so cold to me
One day, I will return, God willing

I read your letter, and tears flow from my eyes
Salty pearls, roll down my cheeks
The paper crumples under my fingers
Already more than a year away from you
With each of the letters from the front
I tremble, I'm scared, I'm cold
I see you again, proud in uniform
On the station platform, ready to leave
You promised to come back, I promised to support you
You draw the strength to fight, in my eyes and my smile

Oh, before the army, I was a star in the neighborhood
I formed the most burnt out team, the cops were alarmed
We killed the craziest guys
I'm not afraid to smoke you, to assert myself
Then 3 years firm, prison locked me up
I saw those who loved me better than through a neighborhood beer
Tears, I will spare you
By enlisting on the front I wanted to turn
The page before they find me twisted
In Rwanda, in the Middle East, I got sucked in
In Darfur my life changed, from shopping at Carrefour
I write, in my notebook the course of each day
So that you can understand what I feel during my days
Don't worry about the prayer I haven't diverted
You know me, I'm stubborn, the smell of death, locked me in
It's been a year since I left, time passes weirdly
I write this letter between the assault of a Molotov cocktail

You describe your life there, in the trenches
You talk about a smell that floats, that of death
And you had made friends, they disappeared, today
You avoid talking to me about it, you don't want me to worry
You dream at night, of my face, other landscapes
In your heart everything is destroyed, my image remains
We are in the middle of December, a second winter away from you
The snow is the color of blood, my hands are burned by the cold

Oh, I write you this umpteenth letter, so that you understand that it's the last
Because behind me the shots are firing, pushing me back
War has no barrier, I learned that yesterday
When a bullet lodged in my arteries
I'm on the ground, I'm going to leave, I kiss you
Kiss my dead supporters, with the manner, and the heart of a bulldozer
I understood, that in the casting of death, it's not just misery
Who applies, I take your face posthumously

Far from your eyes, mine see nothing
My heart no longer beats, without the rhythm of yours
Come back to me, I beg you, memories assail me
Why give your life on a battlefield?
Far from your eyes, mine see nothing
My heart no longer beats, without the rhythm of yours
Come back to me, I beg you, memories assail me
Did you give your life on a battlefield?

One day, I will return, God willing
Ouh-ooh, ouh-ooh, la la
