Escape

Exode triptyque

Au printemps 2022 la guerre s'approche de l'Europe.

Des millions d'humains fuient les bombes.

Universal soldier, écrit dans les années 60 par la Canadienne Buffy Sainte-Marien, interpreté aussi par l'Écossais Donovan :

Im Frühjahr 2022 nähert sich der Krieg bedrohlich Europa an,
während Millionen von Menschen verzweifelt den Bomben entkommen.
 "Universal Soldier", d
as zeitlose Lied, in den 60er Jahren
von der kanadischen Künstlerin Buffy Sainte-Marie verfasst
und auch vom schottischen Musiker Donovan interpretiert :

 

He's five feet two and he's six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain,
a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
and he knows he shouldn't kill
and he knows he always will
kill you for me my friend and me for you
And he's fighting for Canada,
he's fighting for France,
he's fighting for the USA,
and he's fighting for the Russians
and he's fighting for Japan,
and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
And he's fighting for Democracy
and fighting for the Reds
He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide
who's to live and who's to die
and he never sees the writing on the walls
But without him how would Hitler have
condemned him at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body
as a weapon to a war
and without him all this killing can't go on
He's the universal soldier
and he really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from him, and you, and me
and brothers can't you see
this is not the way we put an end to war
