To a brave Soldier!
Georg my friend! Thank you!
What most loving sentiments,
That you expressed,
And carried with you in your heart,
It reaches all humanity,
A loving message sends,
The language of love needs no translation,
Be it German, English, or Urdu,
You speak it very well- you do,
This lovely song by Lala Anders,
It reaches hearts that beat with love,
It reaches there, where God resides,-in all,
Her sultry voice, did all enthral,
She sang to every soldier’s heart,
Their longing, and prayers in battle,
While sleeping and fearing,
And bravely fighting, believing,
This the only way, no choice they had, - none,
For eons echo their sad song,
In Lilly Marlene,
Thank you my friend,
You reached my heart deeply,
So deep there is no end,
And while I listen and weep,
In sadness and in joy,
Your sentiments, my heart will mend!
