Lyrics Translation

Where dead men lies I'm paralyzed, my brothers' eyes are gone
And he shall be buried here, nameless marks his grave
Mother home, get a telegram and shed a tear of grief
Mud and blood, in foreign land, trying to understand

Where is this greatness I've been told?
This is the lies that we've been sold
Is this a worthy sacrifice?

Great War
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars

I'm standing here, I'm full of fear, with bodies at my feet
Over there in the other trench, bullets wear my name
Lead ahead, as the captain said and show them no remorse
Who am I to understand? What have I become?

I do my duties, pay the price
I'll do the worthy sacrifice
I know my deeds are not in vain

Great War
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars

And feet by feet
We pay the price of a mile here
Though men were falling, we see heroes rise
We face the heat
As we are fighting until the dawn
So follow me and we will write our own history

Great War
And I cannot take more
Great tour
I keep on marching on
I play the great score
There will be no encore
Great War
The war to end all wars

Where dead men lies I'm paralyzed, my brothers' eyes are gone
Onde homens mortos jazem, estou paralisado, os olhos dos meus irmãos se foram
And he shall be buried here, nameless marks his grave
E ele será enterrado aqui, uma marca sem nome em sua sepultura
Mother home, get a telegram and shed a tear of grief
Mãe em casa, recebe um telegrama e derrama uma lágrima de luto
Mud and blood, in foreign land, trying to understand
Lama e sangue, em terra estrangeira, tentando entender
Where is this greatness I've been told?
Onde está essa grandeza que me contaram?
This is the lies that we've been sold
Estas são as mentiras que nos venderam
Is this a worthy sacrifice?
Isso é um sacrifício digno?
Great War
Grande Guerra
And I cannot take more
E eu não aguento mais
Great tour
Grande turnê
I keep on marching on
Continuo marchando
I play the great score
Eu toco a grande partitura
There will be no encore
Não haverá bis
Great War
Grande Guerra
The war to end all wars
A guerra para acabar com todas as guerras
I'm standing here, I'm full of fear, with bodies at my feet
Estou aqui, cheio de medo, com corpos aos meus pés
Over there in the other trench, bullets wear my name
Lá no outro trincheira, balas levam meu nome
Lead ahead, as the captain said and show them no remorse
Avance, como disse o capitão e não mostre remorso
Who am I to understand? What have I become?
Quem sou eu para entender? No que me tornei?
I do my duties, pay the price
Eu cumpro meus deveres, pago o preço
I'll do the worthy sacrifice
Farei o sacrifício digno
I know my deeds are not in vain
Sei que meus atos não são em vão
Great War

Embora homens estejam caindo, vemos heróis surgirem
We face the heat
Enfrentamos o calor
As we are fighting until the dawn
Enquanto lutamos até o amanhecer
So follow me and we will write our own history
Então me siga e escreveremos nossa própria história
