Le péril jaune
Original lyrics

Translation
À l'est de Java
To the east of Java
The squadron's flying over Krakatoa Island
Everything will end here to the east of Java
Our first mission, is to bomb the town
A terrible routine mission
There won't be...
There won't be any survivors
Nothing left but smoke...
But smoke over the volcano
Three horrible boys
Getting a taste of the action
Three girls in the moon
Dancing through the dunes
For the last time
To the east of Java
The girls on the beach aren't paying attention
To the first sirens coming from every plane
The organised pilots attack mercilessly
It's in the flames that everything will explode
On every side...
On every side, it's a battle
No quarter...
No quarter for scoundrels
Three horrible boys
Getting a taste of the action
Three girls in the moon
Dancing through the dunes
For the last time
To the east of Java
Hunters firing at anything that moves
Women and children painting the sand red
And when the three girls open their big eyes
It'll be too late for the island will be up in flames
The three boys...
The three boys will forget them
And the three girls...
And the three girls will escape
Three horrible boys
Getting a taste of the action
Three girls in the moon
Dancing through the dunes
For the last time
To the east of Java
