And once more the sun is setting, I see it before me
And our commander doesn't shout, doesn't call into battle
I carve with a knife on a wooden beam
Your name
We're sitting with the boys on the loose, black soil
And remembering friends who have fallen in this war
And thinking of one thing, that one of us will have
A bullet in the temple
War, an endless gunfire above our heads
And in the damp earth lies my comrade
I squeeze the talisman tightly in my hand
Softly crying in moonlight
I ask you, understand that I am not to blame
That for me there's no way back, I myself wanted to leave
And I ask you for one thing, the dearest of all
Hold onto my love
For us the battle lies ahead tomorrow, cruel and deadly
And again our blood will flow to the river
And if I survive, then for me awaits
The road home
War, an endless gunfire above our heads
And in the damp earth lies my comrade
I squeeze the talisman tightly in my hand
Softly crying in moonlight
