Текст песни Pilecki - Jordan Mills

On the 13th of may 1901
One of 5 in the family your journey begun
Then early one morning in the cold winter sun
On your 17th birthday you picked up a gun

And then far from home
Dreaming of war in the nighttime
Cold to the bone as you wrote

"On tree branches I was building castles
I had my hiding places in the garden alleys
I grouped flowers into military units
These were cavalrymen, and those were dragons
Nettle stood for the Germans, flowers for Tartars
Saving my own troops from being crushed in the grass"

And now 8 years on got yourself a promotion
Reserve second lieutenant for the army of Poland
2 wars under your belt with no bullet in your back
And then 13 years later you gotta go back

And then far from home
Dreaming of war in the nighttime
Cold to the bone as you wrote

"On tree branches I was building castles
I had my hiding places in the garden alleys
I grouped flowers into military units
These were cavalrymen, and those were dragons
Nettle stood for the Germans, flowers for the Tartars
Saving my own troops from being crushed in the grass"

Then in 1940 September 19
Put your hand up to go and get caught in the street
From Auschwitz you gathered all the people you need
And wrote back to the Polish of all that you see

Then 3 years later you made your escape
By the woodshed on night shift, the guards barricaded
Cut the alarm and then run to the east
To write the report of all that you've seen

And now far from home
Dreaming of war in the nighttime
Cold to the bone as you wrote

"On tree branches I was building castles
I had my hiding places in the garden alleys
I grouped flowers into military units
These were cavalrymen, and those were dragons
Nettle stood for the Germans, flowers for the Tartars
Saving my own troops from being crushed in the grass"
