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
