Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Charles Sawyer
[00:12.407] Why am I so weak and weary?
[00:18.718] See how faint my heated breath
[00:24.738] All around to me seems darkness
[00:30.753] Tell me, comrades, is this death?
[00:37.066] Ah! how well I know your answer
[00:43.090] To my fate I meekly bow
[00:49.113] If you'll only tell me truly
[00:55.429] Who will care for mother now?
[01:01.425] Soon with angels I'll be marching
[01:07.445] With bright laurels on my brow
[01:13.757] I have for my country fallen
[01:19.502] Who will care for mother now?
[01:38.029] Who will comfort her in sorrow?
[01:44.089] Who will dry the falling tear?
[01:50.629] Gently smooth her wrinkled forehead?
[01:56.450] Who will whisper words of cheer?
[02:02.490] Even now I think I see her
[02:08.530] Kneeling, praying for me how
[02:14.509] Can I leave her in her anguish?
[02:20.450] Who will care for mother now?
[02:26.649] Soon with angels I'll be marching
[02:32.529] With bright laurels on my brow
[02:38.340] I have for my country fallen
[02:44.510] Who will care for mother now?
[03:02.527] Let this knapsack be my pillow
[03:08.420] And my mantle be the sky
[03:14.619] Hasten, comrades, to the battle
[03:20.389] I will like a soldier die
[03:26.340] Soon with angels I'll be marching
[03:32.579] With bright laurels on my brow
[03:38.380] I have for my country fallen
[03:44.509] Who will care for mother now?
[03:50.389] Soon with angels I'll be marching
[03:56.089] With bright laurels on my brow
[04:02.080] I have for my country fallen
[04:07.980] Who will care for mother now?
