Oh my soldier why did you leave,

On this fine midsummer's eve?

The war would wait for your boldness.

Although I cannot wait for your kindness.

Oh my soldier why did you leave,

For a war without mercy ,

I will wait for your undying love,

Though the enemy take thy life

Without thought of my love

I will wait for your love like a dove.

My days be stretched

My love for you undying

I will wait for the day

I see you striding.

Oh my soldier why did you leave for a war

With soldiers who have no mercy on any living creature.

I will never forget your love for me

Nor any of your features.
