"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!

the architect that create the desert forts of the foreign legion was a belgian .....standart was the name ...they had a general Van heck who served in indochina and he was a belgian to...and my dad served from 50-55 in the 1 bep and has medaille militair and is belgian just like me....the french like to joke with or national dish...what they call boudin we call beuling....but its true the french got a better kitchen than we...so its forgiven....vive la 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.
For my entire life I thought it was a reference to the Bedouin, i.e. their arab foes during the Legion's golden years. I guess it's true you learn something every day.
I recall doing uk para training in early 90s. One recruit had been in Legion and was asked to sing this. Can't believe now as a fat 50 year old I used to do tabs and runs with ex legionnaires 😀
Uh, "shirkers"? Non. "Ce sont des tireurs au cul" means "They're ass shooters", but the gist is the same. The king of Belgium refused to send troops for a crucial battle which the French were fighting. That's why they are immortalized in the song.
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.
Reading the translation it would seem 5hat they are nothing more than cannon fodder. French president: Don't send our french troops in, send in the legions. No great lose.
"A L il y a 1 an i see the french knew the belgians well in advance. that marching meme from belgum tho. xdssssss " Tell that to the Belgians who fought the germans in 1914 because of the Frenchs and the belgian civilians slaughtered by the Huns the same year .
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).
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.
TOTO CACA More about the Franco Prussian war and Germany annexing land. The Belgian King asked France not to send in the Belgian Legionairs because he didn't want the conflict to continue. Other Legionairs thought they should have went anyway but that was impossible without French orders.

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....

Been there done that , first time I saw the sergents laughing , then I started laughing and got told ‘en postition’ 🤣

Jean-Claude Van Damme had to sing this for his movie Legionnaire. The rest of the cast kept teasing him for being Belgian.
