Luyện nghe bài hát La Colombe

Why all these crying for squads of young men drilled
To kill and to be and waiting by this train?
Why the orders loud and hoarse, why the engine's groaning
As it strains to drag us off into the
Why crowds who sing and cry, and and fling us flowers
And trade their right for ours to and to die?

The dove has torn her wings so no more songs of
We are not to sing, we're here to kill the dove

Why has this moment when childhood has to die
When hope shrinks to a sigh and into a drum?
Why are they pale and still, boys trained overnight
forced to fight and dressed in gray to kill?
These clouds massing tight, this train load battle bound
This moving burial ground sent thundering the night

Why statues towering brave above the last
Old word and lies repeat the new made grave?
Why the same birth that victory always brought
These hoards of bought by men with mouths of earth?
Dead ash without a where cities glittered bright
For guns probe every and crush it in the dark

And why your face undone with lines of tears
That in those first years all peace I ever won?
Your body in the gloom, the platform fading
Your shadow on the track, a on a tomb
And why these days ahead when I let you cry
And live to die as if our love were dead?
