The pacifist (translation)
Men whose names are great, I am writing you a letter
That you will read perhaps if you have the time
Men whose names are great, I dont want to do that
I am not on earth to kill miserable mankind......
Messieurs quon nomme grand, je vous fais une lettre
Que vous lirez peut-tre si vous avez le temps
Je viens de recevoir mes papiers militaires
Pour aller la guerre avant mercredi soir
Messieurs quon nomme grand je ne veux pas la faire
Je ne suis pas sur terre pour tuer les pauvres gens
Il nfaut pas vous fâcher mais il faut que je vous dise
Les guerres sont des btises le monde en a assez
Depuis que je suis n jai vu mourir des frres
Jai vu partir des pres et les enfants pleurer
Les mres ont trop souffert quand dautres se gobergent
Et vivant leur aise malgr la boue de sang
Il ya les prisoniers on a vol leurs âmes
On a vol leurs femmes et tout le cher pass
Demain de bon matin je fermerai la porte
Au nez des annes mortes jirai par les chemins
Je mendierai ma vie sur la terre et sur londe
Du vieux au nouveau monde et je dirai aux gens
Profitez de la vie eloignez la misre
Les hommes sont tous des frres gens de tous les pays
Sil faut verser le sang allez verser le vôtre
Messieurs les bons apôtres messieurs quon nomme grand
Si vous me poursuivez prvenez vos gendarmes
Que je serai sans armes et quils pourront tirer
Et quils pourront tirer
Peter, Paul and Mary is an American folk music trio formed in 1960 in New York City. Composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers, the group rose to fame in the 1960s for their folk-rock music, often featuring politically and socially conscious lyrics. Among their most notable hits are "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind" (a cover of Bob Dylan), and "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Peter, Paul and Mary participated in numerous events for the American civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. Their musical style influenced generations of folk and rock artists, contributing to the spread of folk music throughout the United States and the world. After a hiatus in the 1970s, the group reunited on several occasions for concerts and recordings until 2018, when Mary Travers passed away.
