Ihr jungen Leute, die ihr zieht ins Feld

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Ihr jungen Leute, die ihr zieht ins Feld,
Auf meinen Liebsten sollt ihr Achtung geben.
Sorgt, daß er tapfer sich im Feuer hält;
Er war noch nie im Kriege all sein Leben.
Lasst nie ihn unter freiem Himmel schlafen;
Er ist so zart, es möchte sich bestrafen.
Lasst mir ihn ja nicht schlafen unterm Mond;
Er ginge drauf, er ist's ja nicht gewohnt.

You young people who march into the field
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
You young people who march into the field,
Give attention to my dearest.
Take care that he holds himself bravely under fire;
He has never been in war in all his life.
Never let him sleep under the sky;
He is so delicate, it might harm him.
For me, do not let him sleep under the moon;
He might perish - he is really not used to it.
