Battle Honours:
Nous étions trop heureux, mon amie, Nous avions trop d'espoir et d'amour, Nous croyions nous aimer pour la vie, (bis) Mais, hélas, les beaux jours sont si courts. (bis) Le bonheur dure trop peu sur la terre ! Entends-tu tout là bas le tambour ? Mon doux cœur je m'en vais à la guerre, (bis) Ne crains rien jusqu'à l'heure du retour. (bis) L'ennemi a franchi nos frontières, Il a pris nos maisons et nos champs. Défendons le pays de nos pères, (bis) Il faut vaincre ou mourir bravement. (bis) Mes amis si Dieu veut que je meure, Retirez cet anneau de mon doigt. Portez-le à ma Mie qui me pleure, (bis) Dites-lui: « cette bague est pour toi ! ». (bis)
Sapeur parachutiste tu progresses loin là-bas, En avant toujours prêt au combat, En terres ennemies déjouant pièges et mines Pour toujours le courage t'anime. (Refrain) Des rizières de l'Asie Aux sables d'Arabie, Partout, partout on salue notre ardeur, Des hauteurs des Balkans Aux vallées du Liban Sapeur, Sapeur suis et Para demeure. Parcourant le désert du Tchad À l'immense horizon Enthousiaste à remplir la mission, Sur la terre africaine, sur la piste minée La patience est ta fidèle alliée. Tourné vers l'avenir, fidèle à ton glorieux passé, Ton Drapeau fait toute ta fierté, Germersheim, Indochine, Hommage à tes Anciens, Derrière eux tu poursuis le chemin.
