soldiers have always been the greatest victims of war, no sane person can contest that it was they and few others that experienced the full discomfort and outright monstrous horror of war. and none chose this willingly, even those who volunteered did so out of duty, not at their pleasure.
@@user-bq3ch1ps8q Its a song to that melody lamenting the tragedy that is warfare, te souviens-tu may be different in lyrics to Ich bin Soldat but the latter would almost certainly not have been written without the former.

As a german I understand a mix of german english and dutch. But nice song
It's actually very similar to one of our own: "Ich bin Soldat"
No one speaks Dutch like this, most of this words are old and never used but it's understandable,

Ich Bin Soldat was written around the time of the Franco-Prussian War
te Souviens-tu was written at the end of the Napoleonic Wars
@@moskaumaster1594 the lyrics are very different and the melody used predates the song you mentioned

They stole Erika and this song too 🗿
Ironically the Germans stole this song from the French
