What Could the Landser Dream Of

1. What could the landser1 dream of?
He dreams of his girl!
Who he kissed under the trees of the forest,
At many amorous rendezvous.
He loves her oh so much,
And from afar,
He only thinks of her.
What could the landser dream of?
He dreams of the next reunion!
Under the silent trees of the forest,
Where the lovers always go!
 
2. What could the landser dream of?
He dreams of his parental home2
Of the old beloved acquainted rooms,
Of the view over the wide country,
Where every morning was
Happy and free of sorrows,
Every day full of joy.
What could the landser dream of?
He dreams of his youth!
Where in these beloved acquainted rooms,
The mother took care of him.
 
3. What could the landser dream of?
He has no time for that!
Not a single hour of sleep he wants to miss,
At night he needs his rest!
When he falls asleep,
It's already booming3
And then it's time to go out!
What could the landser dream of?
He just waits for furlough,
Because then he can instead of just dreaming about it,
Kiss his beloved himself!
