[00:33]On a sunny April morning [00:39]My dear son, you were born [00:45]Until one day you were called away [00:51]And from my heart was torn [00:57]As a boy, you knew the stables [01:01]As a lad, you knew the fields [01:08]My son, you worked beside me [01:14]But to country, you must yield [01:19]You were called to serve the country [01:25]You were called to serve the king [01:30]And from our home, you left one day [01:36]And of this, today I sing [01:43]music [02:03]When I stood there at the station [02:09]And our eyes, one last time met [02:14]It was at that moment, my dear son [02:19]'Tis that I'll ne'er forget [02:24]Is it now a mother's blessing [02:30]That the country's truly free? [02:34]You gave your life for all of us [02:40]And all humanity [02:45]music [03:28]As I stand here at your graveside [03:35]The spring birds sing their song [03:40]My child, I love you more and more [03:46]And will my whole life long [03:51]You were called to serve the country [03:57]You were called to serve the king [04:01]And from our home, you left one day [04:07]And of this, today we sing
