See Lyr Req: The Letter - Missing verse. The song in question is "The Letter," which appears to be a translation of a French antiwar song, from the Algerian war era, "Le Déserteur" by Boris Vian, 1954. We already have 2 versions of the song in French, and literal translations of both versions. All that's missing is a singable translation of verse 2. If we can't get the version from the 1960's, maybe someone can make one up.
