by Louis Charles Alfred de Musset (1810 - 1857)

Un soldat qui va son chemin
Language: French (Français) 
LE SOLDAT chante
 Un soldat qui va son chemin
   Se raille du tonnerre.
 Il tient son sabre d’une main,
   Et de l’autre son verre.
 Quand il meurt, on le porte en terre
   Comme un seigneur.
 Son cœur est à son amie,
 Son bras est à sa patrie,
 Et sa tête à l’empereur.
