Biały krzyż [English translation]

When the world suddenly burst into flame

They went along pathless tracts

Through the sleeping forest

With the rhythm of young hearts

Time measured

Restless days.

Somewhere remained the smoke of camp fires,

The dust of crossed paths,

The shadow of a gray fog...

Only a white cross in the field

Doesn't remember anymore

Who's sleeping beneath it...

(Refrain:)

Like a thought from bygone years,

Like the trace of memories

Today returns

The remembrance of those who aren't there.

Dusk bid them farewell

When they marched off into battle,

When the song faded out.

They went to fight for your house

Among green fields -

For a new day.

(Refrain)

Because destiny hasn't helped all of them

To return from those forest paths

When the lilacs blossomed.

A white cross on the open field

Doesn't remember anymore

Who's sleeping beneath it...
