Fierce that fight will be never again Horror with death were crawling And from the skies as the noiseless rain Stars were just falling My star has just fallen and I thought ahead With hope stay alive in the battle In this silly way life was tied up with star - Foolish-like apple. I simply believed that misfortune had gone And shall survive in the battle But star has just fallen - residual star In heart - like in apple. We were instructed to seize bloody height With no ammunition to spare On strap, there is falling the second red star Don’t be in despair. Skies full of stars like small fish in the pond Will be enough for ever If hadn’t been killed, would have also behaved The way - like a Hero. This star I would gladly give to my son Simply - as present But high in the skies shines another gold star Not falling at present.
