Lie down, soldier, lie down
Let the field lull you
You will become a spirit here
You will protect the land
And never leave descendants in evil.
Fly, soldier, fly:
You are free in heaven forever
Appear in thoughts, sanctify our will
And all of us, so just sever.
Let them fly, soldier
Songs in the abyss to you -
let them sound more bolder
let them tell what is true.
Lie down, soldier, sleep,
May you dream of well-being.
Happy and free
Fly with the gods
May you sleep happily.
