Heirs of Vauban,

Heirs of Vauban,
We are the sappers !
Of us it is often said,
That we have heart !
Our elders amassed,
Throughout the history,
So many heroic facts
And titles of fame,
That they made our reputation.
And we will ensure their legacy (bis)

Infantry, cavalery,
Our fighting brothers,
Rush into the fray,
Without dread and without fear.
If the fight rages on,
Above all do not fear
Obstacles and mines,
We will always be there
To open the road for you,
We the sappers.

In the Gaian trenches,
In the battle of Kruger,
The commodores often want to see
The sappers of Fleet !
It was the worthy fathers
Pontoneers of the Rhine.
They won their war,
Showing us the way
Which leads straight to honor,
It's our road to us sappers (bis)

Infantry, cavalery,
Our fighting brothers,
Rush into the fray,
Without dread and without fear.
If the fight rages on,
Above all do not fear
Obstacles and mines,
We will always be there
To open the road for you,
We the sappers.

They marked the earth
Stupendous works
Roads - railways
And vertiginous bridges
In peace in war
At the site as at the fire
In the heart of the battle
Or when the sky is blue
In the ice or in Ecuador
Everywhere and always, there are sappers (bis)
