Little Blue Headscarf

 

Little Blue Headscarf

Little blue plain headscarf
Fell from lowered shoulders.
You said you wouldn’t forget
Affectionate joyful meetings.
Sometimes at night
We said goodbye to each other ...
There are no more nights!
Where are you, little headscarf,
Sweet, welcome, dear?
I remember how on a memorable evening
Your little headscarf fell from your shoulders,
How you saw me off and promised
To save the little blue headscarf.
Let there be
No my beloved, my dear today.
I know, you hide a little blue headscarf with love
To the head of the bed
Receiving your letters
I hear a live voice,
And between the lines a little blue headscarf
Appears before me again.
Your appearance often accompanies me
Into the battle
I feel you are constantly next to me
With a loving look.
How many treasured headscarves
We carry in overcoats with us.
We remember in the war days
Those gentle speeches and girlish shoulders.
It’s for them, so dear,
Desired, loved ones
A machine gunner shoots for the headscarf,
Which was there on the shoulders of his darling!
