You who walk constantly and persistently
Trough forest,steppes,thickets fields
You carry son on back with suspenders

You walk persistently, stubbornly
Fixed all time from east to west
You walk at dusk, at dawn,at night
It’s be dangerous during the days

From backbreaking work and hunger
Your wife died in camp for deportes
She asked our son take, run away
To escape hence from death certain

You looking for mushrooms, berries
Break up roadside plum, apples,pears
Ears of grain from fields, vegetables
From grazing cows, goats you try to milk

You’re not allowed to light a fire
An earth stove but you can dig
You cook soups, water, it’s warm
You teach son first words, to walk

When boy fals asleep in your arms
You looking your wife in sky full stars
And remembered wife’s sweet voice
Sometimes a wolfs come close

No one can sees your tears
Only night flies feelt it’s
Angels protect you from illness

After much kilometers, weeks
Joyful you hear native language
Sometimes someone you gives
A lift in a cart ,also car or train
Your son to count you teach

Return to your city you not can
Is very dangerous occupant
You have to hide still again
With son you move on to way

Your son will be brave , smart one day
Although not enough memory this time
After all part of you is it inside
Your son like you is steadfast knight.

*****

You are already man a very old
But still you have the soul of boy
He’s looking from your blue eyes
You hide him it inside altough

Don’t want this boy you to remember
You help as lawyer many people
You still so try to smile,to be nice
Always beatiful , elegant, polite.

You are good , honest and smart
Don’t have time a family to start
Bad people, unworthy women
Your attention too often abuse

To remember this boy you don’t want
To chosen the nation he belonged
A nation for centuries prescetuden
Christ from this nation yet also was

This boy to hide had many times
With his dear slightly older sister
Change constantly hiding places
Then very frosty winter was.

Chased on the December night
The children ran now holding hands
Across the snow so siblings ran
Suddently let go of their hands

The sister’s footprints were pronounced
They ran, grabbed her and shot her
Under the ice into dith hide her brother
And that’s the whole night you spent

God also saved you from sickness
But you forgive can’t now yourself
That you together with your sister
Under the ice then didn’t hide
………….
And now you whisper that you love me
Don’t you know youre right now dying
You’ll see your sister yet in a moment
And you’ll be happy, here nice the end
