Frank Sinatra - French Foreign Legion Lyrics






If you turn me down once more, I'll join the French Foreign Legion
Bet you, they would welcome me, with open arms

First you love me, yes; then you love me, no
I don't know where I stand
Do we march together down the isle
Or do I march that desert sand

If you think I won't find romance, in the French Foreign Legion
Think about that uniform with all its charm
Just one more time are you gonna be mine, or au revoir cheri
It's the French Foreign Legion for me

    If you turn me down once more, I'll join the French Foreign Legion
    Bet you, they would welcome me, with open arms

    First you love me, yes; then you love me, no
    I don't know where I stand
    Do we march together down the isle
    Or do I march that desert sand

    If you think I won't find romance, in the French Foreign Legion
    Think about that uniform with all its charm
    Just one more time are you gonna be mine, or au revoir cheri
    It's the French Foreign Legion for me

  2. J.... N....

    American joining the French foreign legion 2019

  3. L.... B....

    Is there a German version of this song?

  4. C.... 2....

    Afraid that Frankie would not make it long in the French Foreign Legion. But he sings a nice song.

    C.... 2....

    A dead man would be hard pressed to march, very true.

  5. D.... C....

    I was laughing when I heard this... I spent 4 years in the marines. After I got out I got married, then divorced... then met a girl who really stole my fucking heart... after she broke it I had been considering the FFL

    D.... C....

    Well? Has the contemplative period ended yet?

  6. M.... P....

    Can't wait to join the Legion.

  7. T.... C....

    Great upload! The mans a true iconic legend

  8. t.... m....

    do French women particularly adore Legionnaires?

  9. R.... S....

    This song gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. 💗

  10. D.... ....

    I got high and couldn't stop singing and dancing with an imaginary girl to this. This by far was the best sounding song to me at the time, a pinnacle of music prestige and creativity😂

    D.... ....

    Dysturbed1 I’m doing the exact same thing, bro! Isn’t life grand? 😂

  11. O.... P....

    French Foreign Legion, chantée par Frank Sinatra en 1958 avec un thème romantique.

  12. B.... n....

    Can you tell me what do French think about strangers in FL? In my country legionnaires are considered as half - gods. 

    B.... n....

    The L.E. is comprised mostly of foreigners

    B.... n....

    The FL has been created in 1831 first to remove foreign beggars in Paris, by sending them aborad in algeria

    B.... n....

    Like with most nations it depends on how well the individual within the FL integrates with French culture and understands the language. Unfortunately the Legion today is comprised of people from places like Eastern Europe (where the alphabet is different, never mind language itself) trying to enter Western societies. The Legion ultimately offers EU citizenship which opens up a lot of doors for people outside of the EU. On the whole I'd say it's kind of a 50/50 thing. If the legionnaire tries to assimilate, they will be fine. If they hold too strongly to their original culture and FL culture (which is entirely different from everyday French culture) then they can't assimilate well. Reputation-wise I'd say they're on par with U.S. Marines, Army Rangers if they're 2eme REP (minus the 2 or 3 GCP teams in 2eme REP which is actual French Special Forces I think...). They are not, by any means, on the whole "special forces". That being said they are tough as nails and go through some of the toughest training schools the French military has to offer.

    I am a former member of the French foreign legion and I am a Panamanian citizen and I am proud to hear this theme a big as Frank Sinatra.

    R.... D....

    Bs, you gotta renounce your citizenship for the legion

    R.... D....

    @Someguy583 No you do not. Now if you decide to apply for french citizenship that depends on your country if you have to renounce.

    R.... D....

    @Someguy583 you can apply after 3 years of good service or by spilled blood but most don't get it until around 5 years

  22. R.... D....

    I am a former member of the French Foreign Legion and Panamanian nacionaldad am proud I hear this a big issue as Frank Sinatra.

    @tr00Darf i never watch movies at all. i will try to join but im 17 i will go with 18 and maybe i will join to FFL.

  45. J.... P....

    @TheFefiiiii I'm sure it is, a kid with a gun it's not a civilian it's an enemy. You have stop watching war movies mate. Just train hard and go to join us, and maybe you can see what is war like.

  46. T.... ....

    @tr00Darf ok i expect another answer but ok... because i will rather kill my self or let a kid with a gun kill me.. 'cause I'm always profesional whatever i do, but i wouldn't never kill a child or civilan in war, i didn't say you are murders but i thought that foreign legion never do a war crimes. but kill a civilan is a war crime...this is only my opinion no hard feelings..

  47. J.... P....

    @tr00Darf LEGIO PATRIA NOSTRA !

  48. J.... P....

    @TheFefiiiii Yes, i used to be a brazilian marine, 6 months in Haiti working for the UN. In the Legion the mission is sacred, we just complete the mission wathever it coast. We are not murders.

  49. T.... ....

    @tr00Darf are you been in Haiti for UN or?? and one more question... does foreign legion kill civilians and children like american army when they goes to the mission if that is necessary to complete a mission??

  50. J.... P....

    @TheFefiiiii yeah, in 2004 after civil war in Haiti. I've been in Haiti too in 2010.

  51. T.... ....

    @tr00Darf ok thanks because a know i few ex legonares who are muslims . but i heard of some serbians ( i dont hate serbs ) that legion dont like muslims and albanians at all.. respect from croatia :) i read your comment of some video that your dad committed a suicide. if you dont lie then i'm sorry. my dad is kill him self to because post traumatic stres from croatian war

  52. J.... P....

    @TheFefiiiii Yes, it's like the Code of Honor say "Chaque légionnaire est ton frère d'arme quelle que soit sa nationalité, sa race, sa religion" translating ->Each legionnaire is your brother in arms whatever his nationality, his race or his religion might be.

  53. T.... ....

    @tr00Darf i know that. :)..... can albanians or muslims go into a foregin legion???? "Ça va kurwa??" i dont know what that mean

  54. J.... P....

    @TheFefiiiii You guys don't get it. In the legion, only in the training the soldier don't have internet access, only the 4 initial months.I'm a legionnaire too. Ça va kurwa??
