Ardievu meitenes [English translation]

Goodbye girls, I have to go,

Where battlefields glow in white bones,

There I will have to lay my head, too

So that the mighty get a little joy.

Goodbye girls, my kaiser is calling me,

There will be many heroes in this war, for sure.

And the very first that bullets will shatter,

Will have a reserved place in school curriculum.

Chorus

Goodbye girls, you see now

You see now how heroes are made

Oh, girls, please forgive

I have to give myself to the kaiser

I have to give myself to the kaiser

If I'll be gravely wounded in battle

Then I know - kaiser will give me a medal

And maybe make a monument to me

And a cliff rock will push on the top of the mountain

But if luck will really smile upon me

And oberleutnant will send me into the mine field

Then my photo and my name

Will be printed in the press with a black frame
