Cait Brennan - Bombardier (July 1, 1916) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Hands raised
Volunteers
Fresh faced
Tender years

[pre-Chorus]

And when you’re done, another one
Will run that gun
She’s your Verdun, she can’t be won
Oh brother, keep that vow
‘cause you can’t hide now

[Chorus]
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier
You tried to burn it out
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier
You tried to blow it down
Bombardier, bombardier…bombardier
It’s not in your hands

Midnight
Firefight
Town

Too real
Wound won’t
Heal

[Pre-Chorus]

And when you’re done, another one
Will run that gun
You’re at the Somme, she can’t be won
Oh mother, keep that crown
You can fly now

[Chorus]

Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier
You tried to tear me down
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier
You tried to wipe me out
Bombardier, bombardier…bombardier
It’s out of your hands

And when you’re done, another one
Will run that gun
Dead and gone, to Avalon
Oh mother, keep that crown
You can fly now

[Chorus]

Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier
You tried to run away
Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier
And now you’ll rue the day
“Vous ne les laisserez pas passer, mes camarades”

Your soul is rent and out, and flying up, so long
