"Le Déserteur" is an anti-war song written by the French poet and musician Boris Vian. It was first performed on the day of the decisive French defeat in the First Indochina War on May 7, 1954. The song was sung by Marcel Mouloudji on that day in concert, and he recorded it a week later. However, its sale and broadcast were forbidden by the French national radio committee until 1962.
