Текст песни
Well hello my friend my dearest friend from those barefoot days of youth
Do you remember our old barracks and our cherished garden too
For some reason i suddenly recalled though so much is lost in time
How everything is different now from what it once was long ago in our prime
Maybe you remember maybe you do not the feasts with sunlit stories
How we watched the sunrise together couples sitting on the bench
Oh how i wish after all these years with friends though now we are older
We could sing under the stars again just like we did before
But now they are gone
Memories of the past come to us uninvited
Do not forbid them to sneak into your sinful soul
Our dear old friends quietly fade into the past
Unable to say their last goodbye and so they go
And here is a big hello to you i still cannot quite believe
That of all our boys it is just us who remain
And every year as the years go by we meet with losses
Fighting an unequal battle with fate that has long been in vain
Not long ago i stopped by home for three days once more
My soul longed to visit our dear mothers resting place
I saw that all around me were faces that felt so familiar
My friends the ones i grew up with lying side by side in peace
Memories of the past come to us uninvited
Do not forbid them to sneak into your sinful soul
Our dear old friends quietly fade into the past
Unable to say their last goodbye and so they go
Our dear old friends quietly fade into the past
Unable to say their last goodbye
