A soldier

 

The dust has now settled, but the cries are raging on

The battle has now settled, but the war is raging on

 

We are still standing over this scorched land

While our souls are getting burnt

We are still marching over this dead land

While our hearts are dying at every turn

 

We can do nothing but our duty

Don’t expect from us to show pity

We are just heartless for the enemy

As we do, anything for the country

 

We are just soldiers

We don’t ask you to remember us

We are just saviors

We don’t expect you to remember us

 

I don't know if I'll see the one beside me

For us, death is a part of life

I don't know if the one who will be carried is me

For us, killing is a part of life

 

The bullets have now rained again

My friends have now fallen again

Have any of them asked for mercy?

No! They say everything for the country

 

This is a war and not some fairytale

You’ll get death when you fail

Should we make our face pale?

No! We will always be brave and hale

 

 The dust has now settled, but the cries are raging on

The battle has now settled, but the war is raging on

 

I am now carrying my dear friends

Some breaths have now been lost

I am now praying for my dear friends

Some souls have now been lost

 

Should I shed tears on them?

Should I feel pity for them?

No! I can’t let their pride be defiled

I still remember their dying smiles

Their dying words make my heart heavy

Their words were EVERYTHING FOR THE COUNTRY

 

When we led our friend to his family

We say he’s now a martyr for the country

We heard a sudden cry, after a moment of silence

I can only let my head down, hearing them weep in silence

 

There is a sudden cry (scream) of a child from the door

He asked his mother, why the people are so more

When his sight fell at the coffin on the floor

Shame on me! As I couldn’t save him in war

 

The child caresses the coffin as his tears flow

He began to murmur something as the time flows

I can't help myself but know

What is the last thing he wants to say?

What is the last thing he wants to convey?

My head sprang up after hearing those words

My tears gushed after hearing those words

I heard from my ear, as my heart pounded heavily

The words echoed “EVERYTHING FOR THE COUNTRY.”
