I suffered many burns and wounds but I am recovering,
Our tank tehnician is dead, he will be coming home in the "black tulip''
It just makes me want to curse this bloody war.
It just makes me want to curse this bloody war,
Saturday is coming, we'll wash our clothes and forget about war,
Everything smells of sweat and blood and no one is sleeping, it was a difficult battle.
Three of us didn't make it back, it makes me want to cry.
Please tell my girl I am ok, Tell her how much I love her and want to hug her.
Tell her about our future and our past.
Tell her I will be there for her."
