Once some fella, can’t say which one,
-
Was left at night to clean the gun.
-
He released the trigger, a rumble ruined the couch
-
The neighbours, as they stood, in fear would crouch!
-
Now whole of Warsaw knows
-
Every single kid and watchman,
-
Shoot, not to lose one’s touch
-
Why bother with the couch?’
-
Surrounded by German troops, escape
-
They attacked us there.
-
I was very ill at the time, because I had been marching for a long time
-
and I had some grazes on the leg.
-
The legs, always in long boots, were eaten by lice.
-
This was the time when you could take your boots off, taking time to scratch your feet stung by lice.
-
It resulted in festering wounds and infections. I had high fever, I couldn’t walk.
-
The commander took out the maps and tried to figure out how to get away.
-
He spread these maps and I saw how calm he was.
-
After all, the cannonade around meant we were going to fight.
-
And he was just lying there calm, on this blanket looking at the maps.
-
Apparently trying to get us all away from this trap the best way.
