Dearest love, do you remember?
Ah, you told me that you loved me
Feeling at my feet.
you sued me
In your sort of blue.
When you vow to me and country
ever to be true.
Weeping, sad and lonely.
Hopes and fears are vain yet praying.
When this cruel war is over,
praying that we meet again.
When the summer breeze is sighing
Mindfully alone.
Oh, when autumn leaves are falling.
Sadly breathes the sun,
Often dreams I see thee lying on the meadow blue.
Lonely won't it even die?
Calling but in vain.
Weeping sad and lonely,
Is loving yet brave?
When this cruel war is over,
praying that we meet again.
If amid the dinner battle
Only you should fall
Far away from those who love you.
None to hear you call.
Who would whisper words of calm?
Thank you.
Ah, the many cruel fancies
ever in my brain.
We'll be sad and lonely
Hopes and fears how vain yet great.
When this cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet again.
But our country called you darling
Angels cheer your way.
While our nation's sons are fighting,
We can only pray.
Long may it strike for God and liberty
Let all nations see how we love our starry banner.
And live of the free.
Weeping, sad and lonely
Hopes and fears are vain yet praying
When this cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet
Thank you.
