We left wife and child,
left house and yard behind,
we went to distant places,
hoping for a bit of luck.
Because what we experienced there
unimaginable for you today,
so let me tell you
how it was back then.
We were comrades,
we went to war,
we fought on the battlefield,
we believed in the victory.
We were like brothers
in these unforgiving times,
and we who survived
returned home without our friends.
I saw Werner die,
and Paul, and also Fritz.
Franz lost his legs,
Herbert his face.
So much suffering and so much horror
existed in my youth,
but for our homeland
there was no choice, and no time.
Because we were comrades,
we went to war,
we fought on the battlefield,
we believed in the victory.
We were like brothers
in these unforgiving times,
and we who survived
returned home without our friends.

We were like brothers
in these unforgiving times,
and we who survived
returned home without our friends.
Everything was lost,
and I came back home,
took my love into my arms,
and began to cry quietly.
My friends they have fallen,
nothing remains, only the memories.
How often did we suffer,
and then we sang:
We remain comrades
in this tough war,
we fight on the battlefield,
we believe in the victory.
We are like brothers
for all eternity,
we will survive,
and we will return home together.
We remain comrades
in this tough war,
we fight on the battlefield,
we believe in the victory.
We are like brothers
for all eternity,
we will survive,
and we will return home together.
Together we'll come home.
Together we'll come home.
