Sweet bird of sunrise, brown haired and sad eyes Cry not one tear for me and Iâ??ll be home I've heard some friends say this war won't last a day You must be brave and I trust you'll wait Here are my hands, keep them warm for me If I rush away don't turn your head If I die, to me you promise this Try and think of me as one lost friend But if you hear a song, sing slowly sisters That will be us again, so please be strong Now as we march away sing slowly sisters Sing slowly Sisters Here are my hands, keep them warm for me If I rush away don't turn your head If I die, to me you promise this Try and think of me as one lost friend
