You go to the battlefield
But hear my prayers
Remember me.
If a friend deceives you
If the heart gets tired of living
And your soul will fade
On the far side
Remember me.

If someone points you
To the grave and tells you
Under the night fire
About the seduced
Forgotten and despicable girl
Oh then my invaluable friend
Being in an alien country
Remember me.

Maybe the old times
Will come to you will alarm you
In a dark heavy dream;
You will hear a cry of separation
A song of love and a scream of anguish
Or sounds like those
Oh though in a dream
Remember me!
