I threw a rock
At the school of swimming fish
As they fled, I thought
What have they ever done to deserve this?
But right now
I can't do anything else
My beloved
Is now at war
That single slip of paper
An invitation to the battlefield
Turned our happy days (of conversation)
Into a (sad) day of farewell
He might be killed
My beloved
And what have the two of us
Ever done to deserve this?
Those unbearable days
Felt oh so long
Then one day when my tears had all dried up
He suddenly came back to me
Is it really you?
Hurry and come inside
I've kept (your favorite) white lilies
In the window (without fail)
Your gentle hands
Felt oh so cold
But you forced yourself to smile
And held me close
But time passed quickly
And soon he said goodbye
It's all right, my tender love
I already know
Thank you, my dear
You're probably already dead
Yesterday (the letter) arrived
The letter telling me of (your) death
