The '''Chant of the Cavalryman''', known in [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] as ''Chant du Cavaleuer'', is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] marching song from around 1800. The song's evocative melody and lyrics have led to its widespread use as a song of Yonderian patriotism. Although it is known to have been written by a cavalryman of the [[Yonderian Defence Force|Yonderian army]], neither the lyrics nor instrumentals have a definite author, and several regiments of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] maintain their authorship over the song to this day. | The '''Chant of the Cavalryman''', known in [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] as ''Chant du Cavaleuer'', is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] marching song from around 1800.

At the present time it is the unofficial chant du marche of the Alshari Cuiriasser Squadron of the Foreign Legion's IV Far Eastern Division, and the XXIV Cuiriasser Squadron of the Metropole Forces' I Armored Legion, with the amendment that it is sung as the Chant du Cuiriasseuer. The only change being that it is sung as "I wanna be a Cuiriasseuer" instead of "I wanna be in the cavalry". | ||
