    "Le Boudin" of the Legion song is NOT a "blood sausage" but the sleeping gear rolled as a sausage that legionnaires carry at war. Regarding the Belgians - who cannot have the boudin anymore, according to the song - it could come from the Franco Prussian war; Belgium being a neutral country no Belgian participated to the war alongside the French legionnaires. By the way, It is time to underline that we, French people, have nothing against our Belgian friends :) Vive la Legion! Long life to the Legion!

      Do you know why they sing that in the song. Cause allot of Belgians join, allot of Belgians, flemish and french speaking. Know the language better. So allot of the Belgians have more adminstration jobs in the legion. And the other solders thought is was a easier job. And that´s the reason why they sing that. ;) it´s more a joke. And the real history of the song.

  • @jchonburi1453
    @jchonburi1453 11 месяцев назад +2

    Un petit retour en arrière s’impose. Les origines du célèbre refrain, sont elles-mêmes assez mal connues. En 1850, le chef de musique Wilhem compose une première version, arrangée par un autre chef de musique, Dussenty, du 1er régiment étranger. Elle deviendra le chant officiel de la Légion, le tout sur une musique datant de 1840.
    Le boudin, c’est simple, c’est la toile de tente et le paquetage du légionnaire dont la forme portée roulée fait penser au produit charcutier
    Plusieurs versions pour expliquer pourquoi les Belges seraient des tirs-au-cul (neutralité entre la France et la Prusse et même une fake News à propos du roi des Belges qui aurait refusé que des soldats belges participent à l’expédition du Mexique décidée par Napoléon III, ce qui est faux et démontré car sur les 6 Légionnaires héros de la bataille de Camerone, 2 étaient Belges).
    La version la plus vraisemblable et bien dans la tradition de la bureaucratie française, semble plutôt celle-ci, beaucoup plus simple pourrait être une volonté de la France de diminuer les effectifs de la Légion. Une décision ministérielle du 6 mars 1871, rappelée par une circulaire du 27 novembre 1873, suspend d’ailleurs d’une manière générale les engagements volontaires des étrangers et spécifie que les Alsaciens, les Lorrains et les Suisses peuvent seuls obtenir des autorisations.

    I don't understand: The French lyrics offered state: "Pour les Belges y en a plus." My limited French translates this as "For the Belgians there is some." The translations state: "For the Belgians, there is none." The latter, in French, as I understand French is "Pour les Belges n'y en a plus". That is the negation of "there is some". (there is some = y en a plus there is none = n'y en a plus) What happened to the negation, n'y en a plus, in the French song lyrics? Why is the "n' " missing from the French lyrics?

      In everyday langage we don't prononce the "n" of negation. "Plus" has two meanings (more and no more) , when it means "more", we prononce the "s" (y'en a plusse), when it means "no more", we don't prononce the S (y'en a plu).

    • @strangeluck821
      @strangeluck821 3 года назад

      The subtitles are wrong, so don´t let them fool you! The historical backround is this: In 1870 King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium wrote a letter to the commander of the french foreign legion with the request to not send belgium legionaires into the conflict between France and Germany! Why he did this, well Leopold iswere a member of the house saxony / coburg and belgium were neutral like the swiss.... The commmadatur of the foreign legion appreciated the requested and didn´t sended a single belgian into the war.
      The text of the song has nothing to do with "blutwurst" or "black sausage" ! it means, no "Sturmgepaeck for the Belgians" because they will not join the war, thats what du Boudain means...
      Du Boudain were a part of the equipment the legionaires carries with them, when the marched to war.

      The legion is a 9k men army in the french army with executing around 90% of all military mission for France.
      The rest of the army is doing what all armies around the world do, the protect the county by their existence not by execution tasks.
      Under this point of view, the foreign legion is a special force, like the SAS, the navy Seals, the KSK or the Spetsnats.
      Special forces fight, even without an official war, and not to protect borders...
      ... term for this is preventive or preemptive Strike
      Hope this helped to enlighten you a bit....
