Through the half of the world, through the terrible attacks
I had walked I had stalked with battallion
And when backwards I went, as a sign of respect
It was medical train to transport me
They delivered me right to my porch
In a truck to my home sweet home
I was standing, surprised, for I saw that the smoke
Lifted up in a different manner
Were the windows scared of meeting my glance?
Did the mistress enjoy meeting soldier
No tears, no sobs, no kisses, no hugs
Just a moving of hands and departing
Started barking of dogs on the chains
I stepped in to half-darkness of entrance
Something alien was on the floor, and I stumbled
In the main room I nearly fainted
There was at the table at my natural place
Quite unhospitable sort of new master
And the clothes were his, and the misstres was his
It was clear why his dogs were barking
So it means while I was at the war
While I had no minute of pleasure
He replaced all the things in the house of mine
In the manner that suited him better
We were subject to god, which was god of the war
We were ready to meet cannon fair
Unexpected in came, mortal wound from the back
And it stuck in my heart as a treason
In a bow I bended myself
Mobilized self-control for that talking
I am sorry, I said, to appear like that
I mistook your address for my own
Peace and love unto you, lots of bread to your table
Be the happiness with you forever
He replied no word, no move of the lips
As if I did what he was expecting
Seemed like floor of that house did snake
With no bang of the door I departed
Only windows opened after all that
Casting long glance at me, as if sorry
