The Colonel
Colonel, you must
Since the day is rising
Go to beat the drums
To awaken all the pandours*
Colonel, you must
Sound all the bugles
To bring together the cavalries
Colonel Colonel, we're waiting on you
The Colonel gets bored
He plucks the petals off a flower
And he dreams of his girlfriend
Who took his heart
His girlfriend is so sweet and beautiful
Wearing her dress in the sun
That each day passed near her
Is filled with wonders.
Colonel, you must
Since the enemy is here
Go draw our artillery
Arrange our infantry
Colonel, you must
Charge at everything like mad
Or disappear with a wolf's step
Colonel Colonel, you tell us
The Colonel gets bored
He plucks the petals off a flower
And he dreams of his girlfriend
Who took his heart
Her kisses sweet as velvet
Tenderly lead
To the Headquarters of love
The delighted colonel.
Colonel, you must
Since you are wounded
You must therefore task us
With finding you an Abbot
Colonel, you must
Since the apothecary is dead
Search for a veterinarian
Colonel Colonel, what must you do?
The Colonel gets bored
He plucks the petals off a flower
And he dreams of his girlfriend
Who took his heart
He sees her and extends his arms
He sees her and calls to her
And it's in speaking to her so low
That he enters heaven
This Colonel who dies
Wounded by a girl in his heart
This Colonel far from his beauty
It's my heart far from yours
It's my heart far from yours

Generally a great translation but for one thing - the 'faut-il' lines are all questions 'is it necessary to' probably best translated as 'must we'. This isn't entirely clear because the question marks are missing on the French lyrics here. There should be one after 'Pandours', 'Escadrons' etc. This changes the meaning a little.
i.e.
Colonel, must we
Since the day is rising
Go and beat the drums
To awaken all the pandours?
So -
