Commando [English translation]

A commando

It jumps out at you

It's not a gift

It's doesn't need two people

It takes bridges

From lovers

And it answers

To the vain

A commando

Is resistant

It resists

The worst existence

It leaps

And its leaps are impressive

And its line of battle

Is right in the teeth

A commando

It's in your eyes

It knocks out the tears

With blood and fire

As God-like as Rimbaud¹

Who's as beautiful as a God

And in his soul

There's a small fire burning

A commando

It takes upon itself

And on your skin

It doesn't disappoint

Paris Saïgon

Liberated Cuba

A shield

Is worn out in combat

How-how-how

Commando

How-how-how

How to commission

Command-command-command

Commando

Command-command-command

How to call off a mission

A commando

Several commandos

Metal saw

If there's a mind

The Madelon²

Goes to the firing squad

It says a lot

About man

A commando

It's common sense

It's just a word

That smells like gasoline

Crying makes

The chest puff out

But without ever

Wetting the cap of the gun

How-how-how

Commando

How-how-how

How to commission

Command-command-command

Commando

Command-command-command

How to call off a mission
