The Lily
You are the white lily,
Smiling brightly in the sun;
Like new vows
To the lights of spring.
Teach our souls to love life.
I am glad to see our wounded,
Back to fight
Despite the bombs.
And I forget myself for this soldier.
The song is so sweet.
I love people so much
Like this soldier who crosses,
Pure as the lily,
The years of war,
As if it were peace.
From the distant border
To the green soil of the Fatherland,
You gave up so much love
For the great cause,
Soldier in white coat.
You wake up in the dark
Piously keeping silence.
How many will come back to life,
Escape the hand of Death?
Source of joy and happiness
Night under the light,
In the heart of the night,
Sweet eyes of a lover,
You are the beautiful white lily
Whose perfume the wind carries away.
And I enter the first spring,
The one that sings like a mother's sweet song
I will make the white lily sing
Halfway to a happy life.
