Ich hatt' einen Kameraden - English Lyrics
I once had a noble comrade,
He was always at my side,
When the call to arms was sounded,
We marched with hearts unbounded!
In perfect pace and stride!
Well a bullet came a-flying,
Was it meant for you or me?
It pierced the air like thunder,
And ripped your life asunder
Just as if part of me.
His hand reached upward towards me,
As his spirit flew away!
“My friend, we'll meet hereafter
In a land that's filled with laughter,
And march again one day!”
