And this drum awakes The mighty infantry from dark coffins: There are good fellows of the chasseurs, There are old men grenadiers, Rising from under Russian snow, From magnificent Italian fields, Rising from African steppes, From the hot sands of Palestine. At twelve o'clock at night, At twelve o'clock at night. At twelve o'clock at night a trumpeter comes from a tomb; He gallops back and forth, And he loudly blows the alarm. And his trumpet wakes up Mighty cavalry from dark graves: Grey-haired hussars rise, and cuirassiers with big mustaches rise; And there are squadrons are flying from north and south. They are galloping from east and from west, On spectral horses one after another, At twelve o'clock at night, At twelve o'clock at night. At twelve o'clock at night a General Commander rises from his coffin; There is a frock coat over his uniform; He has a small hat and sword He slowly goes along the rows of his men riding an old battle horse And his marshals go behind him, Also aides-de-camp go behind him; And the army salutes him. The commander stops in front of it, And numerous regiments pass by him playing music. At twelve o'clock at night, At twelve o'clock at night. At twelve o'clock at night, He gathers all of his Marshals, And he whispers in the closest one's ear His password and the slogan. And they give it to the whole army The password and the slogan... "France" was their password! And "Saint Helena" was their slogan! At twelve o'clock at night, Rising from a dark coffin In front of his old soldiers Appears the dead Caesar! At twelve o'clock at night, At twelve o'clock at night! +++ В двенадцать часов по ночам Из гроба встает барабанщик; И ходит он взад и вперед, И бьет он проворно тревогу. И в темных гробах барабан Могучую будит пехоту: Встают молодцы егеря, Встают старики гренадеры, Встают из-под русских снегов, С роскошных полей италийских, Встают с африканских степей, С горючих песков Палестины. В двенадцать часов по ночам В двенадцать часов по ночам Выходит трубач из могилы; И скачет он взад и вперед, И громко трубит он тревогу. И в темных могилах труба Могучую конницу будит: Седые гусары встают, Встают усачи кирасиры; И с севера, с юга летят, С востока и с запада мчатся На легких воздушных конях Один за другим эскадроны. В двенадцать часов по ночам В двенадцать часов по ночам ИЗ гроба встает полководец; На нем сверх мундира сюртук; Он с маленькой шляпой и шпагой; На старом коне боевом Он медленно едет по фронту; И маршалы едут за ним, И едут за ним адъютанты; И армия честь отдает. Становится он перед нею, И с музыкой мимо его Проходят полки за полками. В двенадцать часов по ночам В двенадцать часов по ночам Он маршалов всех собирает И ближнему на ухо сам Он шепчет пароль свой и лозунг; И армии всей отдают Они тот пароль и тот лозунг: И Франция тот их пароль, Тот лозунг Святая Елена. В двенадцать часов по ночам Подъемлясь из темного гроба Так к старым солдатам своим Является кесарь усопший В двенадцать часов по ночам В двенадцать часов по ночам! ========================== This song is from this Playlist here - http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=564C034E4D5709DA
