You were a soldier

You were a soldier

(Is devoted to my father - a soldier of World War2)

You were a soldier, my father.

The day of victory will gather

Those who’d fought for peaceful skies,

For bread, for me, for happy lives.

In May a holiday salute is there

And silence minute. We must care

War veterans. They haven’t seen

Great victory in gold and green.

My dad, I promise, I remember

To be Slavonic land’s defender.

My duty is and hard and long

To be one honest, brave and strong.

My heart is crying, soul’s sad,

I wish you live. But I am glad

To see my country not in war,

The sun is shining. What’s more?
