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
