Works

If they bring news to you about me,
If they say: «He is tired, he is lagging behind, he fell down»,
Do not believe, my dearly loved! This word
My friends will never utter, if they believe in me!...

I will not Kneel in front of you, executioner,
Even though I am your prisoner, I am a slave in your prison.
When my time comes — I will die. But be aware: I will die standing up,...

I am back! Meet me, my love!
Rejoice, even though I am without a leg:
I never kneeled before the enemy,
And he tore my leg off for this.
He hit with a mine, knocked me off to the ground....
