Karelia

Called Up

Karelia


My dear I've heard a piece of bad news 
Events are in all the dailies 
And mum is crying her eyes out 
All the guys are called up at the town square 
- as I will ... I have to go off to the war 

My dear don't cry, don't be frightened 
I won't follow the way of my dad 
And I won't live apart from you 

They said that we'll come back in a few days 
but for the moment I have to go off to the war 

This is the final stage before delight and joy 

A kind of devil trial to make us enjoy 

All these peaceful nights interlaced, living our carefree lives 

I'll be back to you and that day, you will be my wife 

It'll left a painful memory deep in our minds
