I'm a soldier
I haven't slept in five years
And I have dark circles under my eyes
Haven't seen them myself
But so I've been told
I'm a soldier
And I have no head (*)
They have beated it off with their boots
Yo-o-o, commander shouts
Commander's mouth is teared open
Because a grenade
White cotton wool
Red cotton won't heal a soldier

I'm a soldier
Unborn child of war
I'm a soldier
Mom, take care of my wounds
I'm a soldier
Soldier of a country forgotten by God
I'm a hero
Tell me of which novel

Ohoooh

I'm a soldier
It vexes me when I have only one bullet left
It's either me or him
The last wagon
Moonshine
There are millions of us
In the UN

I'm a soldier
And I know my jo
My job is to shoot
So that the bullet doesn't miss
The ennemy's body
This reggae is for you Mother-War
Are you happy now?

I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier
Unborn child of war
I'm a soldier
Mom, take care of my wounds
I'm a soldier
Soldier of a country forgotten by God
I'm a hero
Tell me of which novel

(in English)

I'm a sol-dier I'm a sol-dier
I'm a sol-dier I'm a sol-dier
I'm a sol-dier sol-dier
sol-dier-dja

I'm a soldier
Unborn child of war
I'm a soldier
Mom, take care of my wounds
I'm a soldier
Soldier of a country forgotten by God
I'm a hero
Tell me of which novel
