Lament of the Old Forgotten Soldier
I was a young boy
I lived in a farm
The lord of this land
Suddenly raised troops for the war
Leaving my home
It's leaving my life
Blood of the men
God knows how red it can be
Death was my good fellow for many years
Now that I'm going back home I melt into tears
Here is my place
Is there anyone
To welcome me
I'm the old forgotten soldier
Old people are gone
And the young is too young
They laugh at me
Stranger in my own birth land
Death was my good fellow for many years
Now that I'm going back home I melt into tears
I pick up some rice
Add some wood on fire
Boil some water
A sparrow is my only friend
I lived in a farm
The lord of this land
Suddenly raised troops for the war
Leaving my home
It's leaving my life
Blood of the men
God knows how red it can be
Death was my good fellow for many years
Now that I'm going back home I melt into tears
Here is my place
Is there anyone
To welcome me
I'm the old forgotten soldier
Old people are gone
And the young is too young
They laugh at me
Stranger in my own birth land
Death was my good fellow for many years
Now that I'm going back home I melt into tears
I pick up some rice
Add some wood on fire
Boil some water
A sparrow is my only friend
