Chevauchée cosaque
 (Sung text for setting by F. Fourdrain)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Et pour mon bon cheval aussi 
Qui va m'emporter vers la guerre,
Pour ce doux compagnon naguère
Songeur dans le steppe fleuri,
Pitié, Seigneur! Veille sur lui.

Apaise sa charge; prends soin
Qu'il rencontre l'eau des fontaines,
Et qu'il trouve des granges pleines
De paille fraîche et de sain foin
Dont, en route, il aura besoin.

Seigneur, roi des humbles, Seigneur,
Fais que mon bon cheval hennisse,
D'immense joie et de délice,
Quand tout près naîtra la rumeur
Du beau combat libérateur;

Et galopant, ses fiers naseaux
Exaltés de rage Cosaque,
Fais qu'il bondisse dans l'attaque,
Ah! Pour écraser de ses sabots D'enfer,
Ce peuple de corbeaux!
