This is the first night that you're staying alone
I'm far from you
It's raining outside but inside me a fire burns
your love burns inside me.

Wait for me till I return
wait for me till I come,
soldier guards the border, far away from you
I will always guard over you and myself for you
Wait for me till I return,
and if I return sad,
smile for me 'cause you're a melody in my heart,
to the sound of string and a thousand violins
I love you.

This is the second night and you're still waiting for me,
when will I be able to serenade you
When I'm out of uniform
we will build a house for ourselves and come,
I'll live with you forever.

Wait for me till I return
wait for me till I come,
soldier guards the border,
far away from you I will always guard over you and myself for you
Wait for me till I return,
and if I return sad,
smile for me 'cause you're a melody in my heart,
to the sound of string and a thousand violins
I love you.

Now after many days,
you're still waiting for me,
they say it's peaceful at the door,
the tired dove will bring an olive branch
and we'll live together forever.

Wait for me till I return
wait for me till I come,
soldier guards the border,
far away from you I will always guard over you and myself for you
Wait for me till I return,
and if I return sad,
smile for me 'cause you're a melody in my heart,
to the sound of string and a thousand violins
I love you.
