Late at night I sit at the table
Through the window I only see myself
Oh my, how happy I'd be
If in the glass I saw you as well
Yesterday I sent you a package
Things that you wanted
Three pairs of olive brown nylon stockings with a stripe
And some wine to make you sing
Our beloved Lidija
You've been in the army for a long time
Even though Kikinda* is far away
You are in our hearts
But if you'll ever get upset
While standing on your watch
Just shout out with joy
Jodldodidi! Die, you lizards!
Back home, everyone is sending their regards to you
Father, mother, godfather Vinko
Reverend priest, sister and the pigs
We all sleep soundly now
Because we know you're protecting us
Sadly, I have to finish now
The roosters have started singing
Hang in there, everything will be alright
Your fiancé, Fredi
