Viens danser Lyrics

Viens danser
Viens frôler la mort
Dans l'armée
Oh le rythme a du corps

Faut t'allonger te planquer
Eviter les balles doum doum
Si tu tires pas le premier
Ou si tu fais trop le clown
Y a ta tête qui va faire boum

Quand la guerre est déclarée
Faut se lever saluer
Pour le pouvoir d'un seul homme
En tuer des milliers
Ça fera une fête pour danser

Gros sous-marins
Et jolies croisières
Ça fait rêver
Les beaux militaires

Toujours d'accord pour partir
Jamais sûr de revenir
Pour qui vient de se marier
La guerre y a rien de pire
Sauf pour qui aime frémir

Quand les couleurs sont hissées
Faut se lever saluer
Et la fanfare va jouer
Un air pour les encourager
Ce rythme a ses qualités

Une vie de chien
Moi ça me fait pas peur
Obéir
C'est peut-être le bonheur
Pas besoin d'avoir d'idées
On nous fournit la rancœur
Quand l'uniforme est porté
On comprend mieux sa valeur
Prestige pour les jolis cœurs

Si vous passez sur la place
Pour venir me ramasser
Surtout ne cherchez pas la trace
C'est dans le dos qu'on m'a tiré
Devinez dans quel sens j'allais?

Cover art for Viens danser lyrics by Daniel Balavoine

Daniel wrote a lot of similar songs about war and soldiers, as he was very upset about his brother who died serving in the French military. Daniel hated the idea of war, military...

This song is a bit sarcastic.

Here is a brief translation in English: COME AND DANCE

come and dance Come close to death In the army Oh the rhythm of the body!

You must lie down and hide Avoid dum dum bullets If you do not shoot first Or mess about, Your head will explode

When the war is declared You must stand straight and salute For the power of one man Thousands are killed It will make a feast for dancing Oh yes, how beautiful!

Large submarines Beautiful cruises What a dream For the finest military!

Always okay to go Never sure to return To those who just got married The war there is nothing worse Except for those who love the thrill

When the colors are hoisted Have to get up to greet And the band will play An air to encourage them This rhythm has its qualities Oh yes, how beautiful!

A Dog's Life Me, it does not scare me To obey, Maybe it is happiness

No need to have ideas We are given the rancor When the uniform is worn We can better understand its value Luxury for pretty hearts

If you pass the square To come and pick me up Especially look for no trace It's in the back that I was fired Guess which way I was going? Oh yes, it is beautiful....
