Mother do not weep for me,
For I am away to keep my country free.
Father, you taught me honour and pride
And from my duty I cannot hide
I have heard my country's battle call
And I will hold myelf true and tall
As my comrades and I march off to war
So that others will have to go never more.
Shed not your tears for me
But sing sweet songs of beauty
So when to you I do return
Let the fires of victory burn
Celebrate for those who fall
And march with us, proud and tall.
