Grusha sings to her soldier before he marches into battle

lyrics

Go calmly into battle,
The bloody, bitter battle
From not which everyone returns.
But when YOU do,
I will be there waiting for you.

Under the green elm tree
I will be there waiting for you.
Under the bare elm tree
Simon, I am waiting for you.
I will wait until every soldier marches home.
Longer, if I have to.

When you are away at battle,
No boots shall lie before my door.
The pillow next to me will be empty.
My lips will stay unkissed.

When you return,
When the battle is done,
You will see it on my face,
And you will know you are safe,
And we can say it all
Is as it was.
