Camarade

Comrade

It's a cute name Comrade

It's a cute name you know

Unites cherry and grenade

With a hundred May flowers

For years Comrade

For years you know

With only your name as morning song

Yours lips blossomed

Comrade Comrade

It's a terrible name Comrade

It's a terrible name to say

At a time such as a masquerade

It can only shudder

What have you come to do Comrade

What have you come to do here

It was at five o'clock in Prague

That the month of August was obscured

Comrade Comrade

It's a cute name Comrade

It's a cute name you know

My heart beats like a drum roll

To make it live forever

The cherry and the grenade are united

With a hundred May flowers

Notes from original French (source: Larousse)
1) "aubade": morning song, opposite of "serenade", an evening song
2) "chamade": drum roll, or trumpet call, used during a battle to call for a reprieve to collect the dead and wounded; a telling, and prescient, choice of words
