Lyrics:
Uzdišem noćas za vojnikom
Strasno se ljubim s njegovom slikom
I tiho pričam s njegovim likom
Nikom te nedam, nedam te nikom
Kada ti truba prekine san
Kad te pozove u novi dan
Ti samo zamisli ljubav svoju
Da korača u istom stroju
U tamnoj noći prosu se tuga
Tješi me mjesec k'o starog druga
Fenjer mi drži k'o vjerni sluga
Dok pišem pisma sjetna i duga
Kada ti truba prekine san
Kad te pozove u novi dan
Ti samo zamisli ljubav svoju
Da korača u istom stroju
Vojnički dani brzo će proći
Opet ćeš u moj zagrljaj doći
Spremna će biti postelja meka
I vjerna žena koja te čeka
Kada ti truba prekine san
Kad te pozove u novi dan
Ti samo zamisli ljubav svoju
Da korača u istom stroju

Lyrics (English):
At night I sigh over a soldier
I kiss his photograph with passion
And speaking softly, I say to his handsome face
"I won't betray you, I'll never betray you"
When the trumpet cuts your dreaming short
When they summon you into a new dawning day
Just imagine that your true love
Is marching in the same unit you are
In the dark of night, sadness besets me
Like an old friend, the moon consoles me
And a lamp assists me like a faithful servant
As I write letters long and melancholy
When the trumpet cuts your dreaming short
When they summon you into a new dawning day
Just imagine that your true love
Is marching in the same unit you are
Your day of soldiering shall pass by quickly
And you will be back in my arms again
There'll be a soft bed ready for you here
And a faithful wife who is waiting for you
When the trumpet cuts your dreaming short
When they summon you into a new dawning day
Just imagine that your true love
Is marching in the same unit you are
