The little trumpeter - Немецкий


Of all our comrades
was not so kind and so good
|: As our little trumpeter,
a funny Rotgardistenblut: |

We were sitting together happily
in an even stormy night.
| With his freedom songs
He made us happy. : |

Then came an enemy bullet
in a cheerful game;
|: With a blissful smile
our little trumpeter, he fell. : |

 And we took hoe and spade
and in the morning he dug a grave,
|: And they had him the most,
they lowered him quiet down. : |

Sleep well, you little trumpeter,
we were all so good you!
|: Sleep well, you little trumpeter,
you funny Rotgardistenblut. : | 1925
