Mon Légionnaire by Edith Piaf - Translation from French to English Because there are literally no accurate translations on Google, here you go. (It sounds better in French, btw.) A 'légionnaire' or legionary in English, is a type of soldier.
He had very big, clear eyes Where lightning sometimes flashed Like thunder passes in the sky He had lots of tattoos That I never really understood On his neck was 'not seen, not taken' On his heart was 'nobody' And on his right arm was one word - 'reason'. I don't know his name, I know nothing about him He loved me all night long My legionnaire And leaving me to my destiny He left in the morning Full of light. He was thin, he was handsome He smelled nice, like hot sand My legionnaire He had sunshine on his skin And he put light in his hair. Happiness lost, happiness gone I always think of that night And the desire of his skin envelops me (:P) Sometimes I cry, sometimes I dream Because when I was laying on his heart I should have cried out with joy But I did not dare say anything I was afraid of seeing him smile. We found him in the desert His beautiful eyes were wide open In the sky, clouds were passing He showed his tattoos Smiling, he said, (Showing his neck) "Not seen, not taken," (Showing his heart) "Here, there is no one," I forgive him; he did not know Still I dreamed that fate Would, one beautiful morning, Return my legionnaire to me And we'd go somewhere far away together To some magnificent country Filled with light. He was thin, he was handsome We put him under the hot sand My legionnaire He had sunshine on his skin And he put light in his hair.
