(0 plays)The Dead Of Flanders Fields
We are the Dead. Short days ago, we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, loved and were loved and now we lie in Flanders fields. If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields.

There’s a light that shines in Flanders
As a beacon for the brave
From the distant past it wanders
To recall the lives they gave
And it tells each generation
To be wise and never fail
On the road to Passchendaele
Chorus
On the road to Passchendaele
On the road to Passchendaele
Where the brave will live forever
On the road to Passchendaele
Come with me and I will show you
Why all wars should ever cease
Take a walk among the gravestones
And your tears will cry for peace
For their spirits walk in Flanders
You can hear the grieving wail
For the brave who laid their lives down
On the road to Passchendaele

Что русскому здорово, то немцу смерть.
Going through some really basic Russian translations to keep up on vocab and such and came across this, which I found amusing: Что русскому здорово, то немцу смерть.
The website translated it as “One man’s meat is another man’s poison,” but it actually says “what is health to a Russian is death to a German,” which is much more…. memorable.
