CRUEL WAR

The Cruel War is raging, Johnny has to fight
I want to be with him from morning to night.
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so,
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day
that your Captain will call you and you must obey.
Your captain will call you it grieves my heart so,
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on,
I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along.
I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind
I love you far better than all of mankind.
I love you far better than words can e're express
Won't you let me go with you?
Yes, my love, yes.

Yes, My Love, Yes.
KUTSU RINTAMALLE

Voi, John, sulle kutsun ne rintamalle toi.
Sun luotasi poissa mä olla en voi.
Sua seurata tahdon, sä näet kyyneleet.
Sua seurata saanko?
Et, rakas, et.

Vain huominen päivä on meillä jäljellä.
Kun kapteeni kutsuu, sun on mentävä.
Sun pakko on mennä, sä näet kyyneleet.
Sua seurata saanko?
Et, rakas, et.

Mä puen univormun ja leikkaan hiukseni
ja siis hyvin käyn aseveljestäsi.
Ei naiseksi arvaa mua toiset sotilaat.
Sua seurata saanko?
Saat, rakas, saat.

Et saa epäreilu nyt olla. Tiedät sen:
oot ainoain, läheisin ihminen.
Sen voi todistaa koko taivas, kaikki maat.
Sua seurata saanko?
Saat, rakas, saat.
