The Grenadiers

Once upon a time, there were grenadiers,
They marched into the land of the French.
And all of them were known in the German quarters,
There was a young man among them.

The others called him the sad Mr.,
Because French women didn't please him,
Neither French women nor French wine,
And the king, the king didn't please him.

The one wept together with the grenadiers,
Silently to the beautiful children.
The one said: "If I were with you,
The other said: "That is a lie,
Such a thing does not suit a warrior,
A warrior must have a bloody mouth,
The one who cries must be beaten."

"What hurts me, hurts me as a child,
I carry a heavy loss.
I left what was most dear to me,
My sweetheart, my wife, my child!
And my mother, my old mother!
So take me, take me with you,
Bury me in French soil!"

The drummer beats the red band
Softly on his heart with his hands.
The bullet hit him in the forehead,
And the king, the king can go to hell.

This poem reflects themes of homesickness, loss, and the harsh realities of war, conveyed through the perspective of a young soldier.

The grenadiers express their reactions to this news:

• The first grenadier is distressed and wishes to die, as his highest wish was to return to France.
• The second grenadier shares his sorrow, lamenting his burns and wounds. He expresses his desire to be taken to France to be buried, so he can continue to hear the cannons and battle.

He wants to be buried with his weapons and in his uniform, ready to rise from the grave if he hears the call to arms. He wants to protect the Emperor, even in death.
