Mutation
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG GER GER
Une femme qui pleurait
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Des soldats qui passaient
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Un éclusier qui pêchait
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Les tranchées qui blanchissaient
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Des obus qui pétaient
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !
Des allumettes qui ne prenaient pas
Et tout
A tant changé
En moi
Tout
Sauf mon Amour
Eh ! Oh ! Ha !

Veränderung
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français)
Eine Frau die weinte
Eh! Oh! Ha!
Soldaten die vorbeimarschierten
Eh! Oh! Ha!
Ein Schleuser der angelte
Eh! Oh! Ha!
Die gekälkten Schützengräben
Eh! Oh! Ha!
Granaten die explodierten
Eh! Oh! Ha!
Streichhölzer die nicht zündeten
Und alles
Hat sich derart verändert
In mir
Alles
Außer meiner Liebe
Eh! Oh! Ha!
