General

General, behind the hill
there is the german and murderous night;
and in the middle of the meadow, there is a peasant,
bent over the sunset, she looks like a little girl
50 years old with 5 children
they came into the world like rabbits,
went off into the world as soldiers
and they haven't returned yet.
 
General, behind the station.
you can see the train that used to take us towards the sun
it no longer stops, not even for pissing
We go straight home, without thinking any more
that war is beautiful even if it hurts
that we will come back to sing again
and to make love, to make love to the nurses
 
General the war is over:
The enemy has fled, he's defeated, he's BEATEN;
behind the hill there is no one left,
only pine needles and silence and mushrooms
good to eat, good to dry,
good for making sauce when Christmas comes,
when the babies cry
and don't want to go to sleep.
 
General, these 5 stars,
these 5 tears upon my skin,
what sense do they have within the noise of this train
which is half empty and half full,
and speeds towards the return,
In two minutes it will almost be day,
It's almost home, it's almost love.
