Johanna Kinkel - The Soldier's Farewell - текст песни (слова)

1.
 How can I bear to leave thee?
 One parting kiss I give thee;
 And then whate'er befalls me,
 I go where honor calls me.
 Farewell, farewell, my own true love. 
  
 2.
 Ne'er more may I behold thee,
 Or to this heart enfold thee;
 With guns and pennons glancing,
 I see the foe advancing.
 Farewell, farewell, my own true love.
