ReNtrEz aUx UsA - ReTuRn to ThE UsA

English translation of Rentrez aux USA - Return to the USA.

Soldiers, awaken
Let down your weapons you poor fools
We give you victory
Cease fire, to you the glory
But…Soldiers return home
Before your widows on their knees
Go find happiness
Which is running away to live somewhere else

Return to the USA
They are waiting for you there
We are so well at home
That no pure blood be spilled
Not even impure in your thoughts
That not tears be drowned
In anguish and regrets

Soldiers what do you think?
Don’t listen to the voice of fools
Nor the ones that make you believe
That in your hands history is made
But…
Soldiers, pray for us
That we get out of this in spite of you and in spite of everything
And that deep in your hearts
Is born the best from the worst

Return to the USA
They are waiting for you there
We are so well at home
That no blade even sharp
Comes to split your ideas
That no lives be taken
Under false pretence

Oh soldiers
Hey soldiers
Oh soldiers
Return to the USA

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Return to the USA

Viens, viens Najoua, viens, viens!

This has become my favorite with Najoua's songs. I listen to it all the time.
Not only is it beautiful but powerful, english translation or not.

It's wrong to be over there when we have so many problems of our own here on our own USA soil. And we're not making friends by being over there. lol I am going to stop it there before I begin to rant about my pathetic country and our controlling problem.

Thanks for the translation though, hun Smile

It may not be a good image for the U.S. but it's the image from other countries, especially French, that can help us realize how we reflect on to others. So many Americans just brush it off, but I think it is important to know what other countries think of us. I mean, you don't learn about yourself and what people think of you, on your own opinion, but on outward sources.
